Personally I prefer the Livingstone, Zambia  side of the Victoria Falls, as the town of livingstone  has  a  certain Africa  charm to it.

Its a great option for  a Botswana  and or  a Zambia  Safari as well. The first eco system of Botswana is only  a 90minute drive/boat ride away, so it works quite well for a Botswana Safari.

Since  you are in Zambia allready, then the Safari concession areas are only  a  flight  away.

The Livingstone side of the falls has  so many lodging options for you to choose from for  your Victoria  Falls package.

Below  is more of a   breakdown of the  water flow of  Victoria  Falls itself

High Water

 Feb to April. In full flood years the falls cannot be seen on foot on the Zimbabwe side with clouds of spray rising high into the sky and drenching all tourists. The aerial view at this time however is spectacular.

The Zambian side of the falls with less water is better at this stage and there are walkways to look out points and across the swaying Knife Edge bridge.

The intense spray provides welcome relief from the heat, but don’t carry anything you don’t want to get wet!

 A walk in the Rainforest or "highway to heaven" keeps you at eye level with sheets of cascading water, being soaked by the misty breath and deafened by its thunderous roar

Mid Water

 April and May. The falls are at their most spectacular on foot but often the spray is so thick it is difficult to see the full width of the falls, and the weather is magic.

 From May onwards as the annual flood abates, the view of Victoria falls gets better and better and photographic opportunities from the Rain Forest path in Zimbabwe improve and most of the falls can be seen from this side.

The weather is still fantastic.

 Viewing Victoria falls from below by foot or by Jet boat is possible

Low Water

 Around November and December . It is just as interesting to come when the water is low. Visitors are able to fully appreciate the geological formation of the falls and the full length and breadth of them.

Low water season’s gifts are:
* one can walk along the lip of Victoria Falls on the Zambian side and swim/picnic At this time most the water falls at " Devils Cataract" on the Zimbabwe side
