fine accommodation, and warm & friendly people. Zimbabwe<br />
offers outstanding game experiences in Hwange, superb<br />
fishing on Lake Kariba and ancient history at Great Zimbabwe.<br />
Sharing the Victoria Falls with Zimbabwe, the options for<br />
visitors on the Zambia side of the Victoria Falls have expanded<br />
considerably in recent years. Choose from hideaway camps<br />
on islands in the Zambezi or clinging to the riverbank or<br />
smart, international quality hotels.<br />
Highlights of Zimbabwe<br />
• Victoria Falls: One of the largest waterfalls in the world,<br />
offering breathtaking views and a range of activities such<br />
as bungee jumping, white-water rafting, and scenic flights.<br />

a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offering insights into<br />
Zimbabwe’s rich history and culture.<br />
Highlights of Zambia<br />
• Victoria Falls: Shared with Zimbabwe, offers stunning views<br />

concentration of leopards, as well as abundant hippos,<br />
crocodiles, and other wildlife along the Luangwa River.<br />

Victoria Falls<br />
Victoria Falls is also known as the “Adventure<br />
Capital” of <strong>Africa</strong>, and there are so many<br />
adrenalin-junkie activities to enjoy as well as<br />
more sedate options for the less adventurous.<br />
Our favourites include:<br />

• Bungee jumping in the Zambezi Gorge<br />
• White Water Rafting on the Zambezi River<br />

The Victoria Falls can be visited all year-round<br />
though the water levels do vary with the<br />
seasons. From February to May the amount<br />
of water roaring into the Falls is phenomenal.<br />
From June onwards the water levels recede, and<br />
you can get some spectacular photos. When<br />
the Zambezi is particularly low, the Falls can<br />
be reduced to little more than a trickle on the<br />
Zambian side, so we recommend a trip to the<br />
Zimbabwean side too.<br />
