About this activity

Experience the world's largest single curtain of falling water on a guided walk through Zimbabwe's rainforest, where the constant spray creates a unique ecosystem unchanged since David Livingstone's first visit in 1855. This 2.5-hour tour includes hotel pickup and reveals why 70% of Victoria Falls' spectacular views are best experienced from the Zimbabwe side.

Victoria Falls known as the “Smoke that thunders” in the local Tonga language, is the largest single curtain of falling water in the world and 70% of the exquisite views are seen from the Zimbabwe rain forest. The rain forest which has constant rain 24/7 from the never ending spray of the Falls, has unique ecosystem. It is a botanists dream and bird lovers’ paradise. There are species here that don’t occur anywhere else, and our recommendation is to look just a little beyond the pathway and the numerous viewpoints. One of the beauties is that the area has not become over commercialized. In fact, once you are standing by the Falls your view will not be much different to that of David Livingstone’s who first saw the Falls in 1855. Walking within the Falls is a couple of kilometers and it does get very hot.

Highlights

  • ✓Walk among the 'Smoke that Thunders'—the world's largest single sheet of falling water

Insider tips

  • ★Look beyond the main pathways and established viewpoints; hidden perspectives reveal the rainforest's unique biodiversity
  • ★Bring a waterproof jacket or rain poncho—the constant spray soaks clothing even on 'dry' days
  • ★Start early in the day when light is best for photography and crowds are thinner

Good to know

  • •Hotel pickup is included; confirm your accommodation location when booking
  • •Walking distance is approximately 2km with uneven terrain—wear sturdy, grip-soled shoes
  • •The rainforest is hot and humid; expect to be wet from mist spray throughout the tour
  • •Bring sun protection, water, and a camera in a waterproof case
  • •The tour is moderately strenuous due to walking distance and humidity; allow extra time if you have mobility concerns
