A dawn mist rises off the gorge like a living thing, the Zambezi daring you closer as spray threads sunlight into a low-hanging halo. This two-day Victoria Falls Experience starts in Livingstone and moves fast — a guided walk along the Zimbabwe side, a cautious step across the Knife-Edge Bridge, and an early-morning game drive that brings you face-to-face with white rhino in Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park.

History
The falls were named by explorer David Livingstone in 1855; locally they are called Mosi-oa-Tunya, meaning 'the smoke that thunders.' The region's colonial-era bridge (1905) links the Zambian and Zimbabwean sides.
Conservation
Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park and nearby reserves manage wildlife and habitat protection; visitor numbers and guided routes help reduce disturbance, and water flow is affected by regional rainfall patterns, so responsible tourism helps protect both river and wildlife.
Reserve your spot on the Victoria Falls Experience today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Prepare for spray and wet trails

Follow your guide around wildlife
Stay in the vehicle during game drives and obey guide instructions during rhino encounters; never approach or feed animals.
Time your visit for weather and wildlife
Early morning drives yield the best wildlife activity while late dry season (June–Oct) improves game visibility; peak falls flow is around March–May.
