More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the dome tent to the low thrum of the Zambezi and a breeze that teases the mopane trees; mist from the Falls drifts like a cool promise across the lawn. Explorers Village sits a short walk from the spray and the pulse of Victoria Falls town, an easy base for morning walks to the viewpoints and late-night stories by shared firelight.

Wildlife
History
Victoria Falls was named by missionary-explorer David Livingstone in 1855; the town grew as a gateway for colonial-era rail and river travel and now supports cross-border conservation initiatives.
Conservation
The region is part of a transfrontier conservation area; sustainable tourism supports anti-poaching and community benefits, so stick to guided routes and avoid feeding wildlife.
