Day 7. Victoria Falls Highlights. Victoria Falls National Park.

Rising early we visit the Victoria Falls, taking in a multitude of different views of the water plunging over 100 metres into the gorge below.

Arrangements end after this, however it would be a shame to come to this amazing area and not take part in some of the many different activities that are on offer, so maybe extend your stay for a few days to allow time enough for all of it.
