What To Expect

Victoria Falls

Known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya (“The Smoke That Thunders”), Victoria Falls isn’t just a waterfall—it’s a full-body experience. One of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, it straddles the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia, dropping over 100 meters into the Zambezi Gorge in a spectacular display of raw, untamed power. Whether you’re watching rainbows form in the spray, feeling the thunder beneath your feet, or catching the mist on your skin from a mile away, the Falls demand attention—and get it. Adventure seekers come for the white-water rafting, helicopter flips, and Devil’s Pool swims. But even a quiet walk along the rainforest path will leave you awestruck. This is nature’s main event. Pack your curiosity, your camera, and maybe a rain poncho—you’re in for something unforgettable.

The Big Tree

ust a few minutes from the entrance to Victoria Falls lies a quiet giant—the iconic Baobab affectionately known as The Big Tree. Estimated to be over 1,000 years old, this natural marvel has seen more history than any guidebook could hold. With a trunk so wide it could swallow a small car (don’t try it), and branches that look like they’re reaching for old stories in the wind, the Big Tree is a favorite stop for nature lovers, photographers, and curious wanderers alike. It’s a peaceful place to reflect, take a breath, and snap a photo with one of Africa’s most enduring timekeepers. No roaring thunder here—just silent wisdom wrapped in bark.

I had an amazing experience visiting the Victoria Falls with our guide, Philani. She was incredibly knowledgeable and shared detailed, fascinating information about the Falls and their history. Her professionalism, friendliness, and passion for her work made the tour enjoyable from start to finish. We truly appreciated her guidance and would highly recommend her to anyone visiting Victoria Falls!
We enjoyed a lot and had to learn a whole bunch of history about the falls that one wouldn’t know unless they’re there .

We had an amazing family tour of Victoria Falls with our guide, Phila. Although it wasn't my first time to do the falls tour,I still wanted a tour guide for my family. From start to finish, she was exceptional—knowledgeable, friendly, and so attentive to every detail. She made the experience fun and educational for both adults and kids. My children, Marvin and Shylet, loved her energy and the way she shared interesting facts about the falls and the surrounding area. My wife and I appreciated how she made everything smooth and stress-free, ensuring we got the best views and photo opportunities. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. If you’re visiting Victoria Falls, Phila is the one to take you there! We will definitely visit again in High water season

The experience was a beautiful one. Phila was patient with us and was passionate about telling is about the Fall. The Atmosphere was magical and majestic. We went from the beginning to the end of the Fall on the Zimbabwe side. As for crowd size, it was rowdy.
100%👌👍
