The Victoria Falls are one of the greatest natural wonders of the world. If you're planning a trip to Southern Africa you simply have to witness this mile-long curtain of falling water. The Victoria Falls lie in between Zambia and Zimbabwe in Southern Africa.

The Victoria falls are part of two national parks, Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park in Zambia and Victoria Falls National Park in Zimbabwe. The Victoria Falls are over 1 mile wide (1.7 km) and 355 feet (108 m) high.

The Mosi-oa-Tunya (smoke that thunders) national park named so because during the wet season over 500 million litres of water falls over the edge into the Zambezi River. This incredible amount of water generates a huge amount of spray which shoots 1000 feet into the sky and can be seen 30 miles away.

Because of the unique geography of the falls, you can watch them face-on and get to enjoy the full force of the spray, noise and spectacular rainbows that are always present. The best time to view the Victoria Falls is during the rainy season from March to May, when they are at their most impressive.
