Vic Falls Short Break
Experience Overview
The world’s largest waterfall deserves more than a flying visit. Soak up the spray of Victoria Falls – also known as Mosi-Oa-Tunya or ‘The Smoke That Thunders’ – and check out some of the adventure activities in the local area, like zip-lining, whitewater rafting and canoeing. Learn about the history of this natural wonder from a local guide (so wonderful that it’s been named one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World). Fill your four days by zipping or soaring over the falls or relax instead – it's up to you.
Highlights
- Witness the thundering power of the waters cascading over Victoria Falls with a local guide.
- Enjoy spectacular views of the falls and surrounding area from Knife Edge Bridge – the spray from the falls keeps the forest healthy and green.
- Pick and choose from an abundance of activities in the area, like whitewater rafting, the gorge swing and canoeing.
- Get to know Victoria Falls without the burden of having to organise accommodation or transport.
- Opt for a helicopter ride so you get a bird’s eye view of the world’s greatest curtain of falling water.

Itinerary
Mhoro! Welcome to Zimbabwe. Jump in your airport transfer from Victoria Falls Airport to your home for the next three nights. There are no activities planned today so you’re free to explore on your own. Victoria Falls is the town on the Zimbabwean side of the falls, with spectacular views and a reputation as the adventure capital of Zimbabwe. Maybe head out and find a restaurant serving Muboora (a traditional stew with pumpkin leaves) or Zimbabwe’s national dish sadza (a thick porridge made from maize meal).

Get up close to the world’s largest waterfall with a local guide. The Victoria Falls are an enormous curtain of water, about a mile wide, falling 108 m into a narrow gorge below. In the wet season, the spray created can rise an incredible 400 m and the falls are an impressive raging torrent. The spray from the falls can sometimes be seen from kilometres away. In the dry season, the view of the falls is unobstructed by spray and it's possible to see little islets in the river below. This afternoon, head to a local centre with your guide, where you can book whatever activities take your fancy.
