The experience at Victoria Falls cannot begin without mentioning the overwhelming feeling when witnessing the giant waterfall for the first time, crashing down from a height of more than 100 meters. With a width of nearly 1,700 meters, Victoria Falls creates a giant curtain of water, where white steam rises like smoke over the entire area.
The sound of the waterfall echoes throughout the space, creating the feeling of standing in front of a natural storm. During the rainy season (February to May), the volume of water pouring into the falls reaches its peak, creating a majestic scene that few places can match. The jungle trails around the falls lead to beautiful viewing spots such as Knife-Edge Bridge in Zambia or Devil's Cataract in Zimbabwe, where visitors can feel the water rushing against their faces and soak in the cool mist of nature.
2. Meet local culture and local life

An integral part of the Victoria Falls experience is engaging with the local culture and people. There are traditional villages on both sides of the Zimbabwean and Zambian border where you can learn about the lifestyle, customs, music and cuisine of the local people.
In Zimbabwe, Chinotimba Village is where you can explore the daily life of the Tonga community. You can enjoy traditional drumming performances, take part in rustic cooking classes, or even try your hand at weaving textiles from natural plant fibers.
In Zambia, the Livingstone area is not only a bustling tourist center but also a place to preserve many ancient cultures. Here, you can visit the Livingstone Museum to learn more about the history of Victoria Falls, the tribes that inhabited it thousands of years ago, and the journey of explorer David Livingstone – the first European to set foot here.

The Victoria Falls experience extends beyond the falls themselves, with the vast nature reserves surrounding them. Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park in Zambia and Victoria Falls National Park in Zimbabwe are two popular destinations for wildlife enthusiasts.
You can join a jeep safari or even a guided walk to see elephants, lions, giraffes, white rhinos and a host of unique birds. One of the most impressive experiences is the sunrise elephant safari, where you can witness herds of elephants flocking to the Zambezi River to drink and play in the morning sun.
In the evening, you can return to one of the riverside eco-resorts to watch the fiery sunset and enjoy a traditional candlelit dinner, combined with indigenous music and dance – an indispensable part of African culture.
4. Local cuisine and memorable accommodation experiences

No experience in Victoria Falls is complete without sampling the region’s traditional cuisine. Dishes like sadza (cooked cornmeal served with grilled meat), nyama choma (African-style kebabs), and fresh fish from the Zambezi River are must-try.
In terms of accommodation, both sides of the border have a diverse range of hotels and resorts, from budget to luxury. If you want to be close to nature, luxury glamping tents along the river or in the forest are a great choice. Some famous resorts such as Victoria Falls Safari Lodge, Royal Livingstone Hotel or Tongabezi Lodge offer luxury spaces and activities such as spas, sunset boat rides or even enjoying floating dinners in the middle of the river.
The experience at Victoria Falls is a journey that blends majestic nature, deep indigenous culture and strong emotions from daring adventures. Whether you are an explorer, a nature lover or simply looking for a place to temporarily escape the hustle and bustle of life, Victoria Falls will bring you unforgettable memories. If you are planning a journey to explore Africa, do not miss the opportunity to immerse yourself in the magnificent and mysterious beauty of this great waterfall. And remember, Victoria Falls is more than just a waterfall – it is a place where nature and people create a wonderful symphony for the soul.
