Don’t forget to visit the mighty Victoria Falls themselves. A natural phenomenon and one of the 7 natural wonders of the world. The Victoria Falls is an immense 1.5 km wide curtain of water cascading 100m into the gorge. Around 550 million liters of water fall over the lip every minute. Surrounding the falls is a luscious rain forest sustained year round by spray created by the thundering falls. There are plant species here which are rarely seen elsewhere in Zambia or Zimbabwe. During peak flow, the Zambian side of the Falls is a spectacular sight and walkways lead to vantage points which require crossing the Knife Edge Bridge.
