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.

Ask for Phila!!

5.00Definitely worth the price. Phila answered every question we had and even added in a few anecdotes of her own. The entire tour took about 2 hours and there was never a dull moment. With just my boyfriend and I on the trip, she made sure to take some very cute couple photos for us (even stopping us at some hidden gems because we "absolutely had to take a picture there"
Phila was the highlight of our trip to Victoria Falls!

5.00Phila was such a wonderful guide! We were arriving in VFA and planning to go directly to Victoria Falls after landing and she organized a van for us and met us at the airport. The tour itself was fantastic. Victoria Falls is literally one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been to. Phila shared great details and stories about the area. We didn’t feel rushed and spent around two and half hours in the national park. After the tour, she organized another van to meet us on the Zambian border to take us to our hotel in Livingstone. She was also so responsive on WhatsApp which made the whole experience seamless.
An Unforgettable Victoria Falls Experience

5.00⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had an absolutely amazing experience with our tour guide at Victoria Falls back in May. She showed us every part of the Falls, took us to the iconic Victoria Falls Bridge, and stayed with us throughout our full-day experience. This included the boat cruise and an unforgettable evening at the Boma. She also went the extra mile by making bookings for us at the Lookout Café. Her kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail made the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. The level of hospitality she offered was truly out of this world. She made us feel welcomed, relaxed, and well taken care of from start to finish. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend her to anyone visiting Victoria Falls.
