You arrive to a constant, cool mist that clings to skin and camera lenses—Mosi-oa-Tunya, the ‘Smoke that Thunders,’ announcing itself before you see it. The guided walk threads along carved paths in the rainforest, every viewpoint revealing another slice of the single largest curtain of falling water on Earth.

The falls were first recorded by European explorer David Livingstone in 1855; locally they are Mosi-oa-Tunya, a site long significant to Tonga communities.

Expect heavy spray
Bring a waterproof jacket and a dry bag—camera equipment and phones will get wet from the constant mist.
Wear grippy footwear
Paths are paved but slippery; closed-toe shoes with traction prevent slips on wet stone and mud.
Timing matters for light
Early morning gives softer light and fewer visitors; late afternoon produces dramatic rainbows in the spray.
Protect valuables
Use waterproof cases and keep spare batteries warm and dry—electronics lose charge faster in wet, humid conditions.
Waterproof jacket or poncho
Keeps you dry in the constant spray and helps camera gear stay usable.
Sturdy, closed-toe shoes with traction
Prevents slips on wet, uneven paths through the rainforest viewpoints.
Waterproof phone/camera cover
Protects electronics from heavy mist and allows shooting close to the falls.
Sun hat and sunscreen
Useful on approach trails and viewpoints when the sun breaks through the spray.
