Experience Victoria Falls from trail, air, and river in one day: a guided waterfall walk, a scenic helicopter rotation over Batoka Gorge, and a six-course Zambezi dinner cruise at dusk.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Mist rises from the gorge and the Zambezi pushes its way toward the Batoka rapids, sending spray like a fine veil into the air as you begin a full-day loop of Victoria Falls.

History
The falls were named Victoria Falls by David Livingstone in 1855 but are traditionally called Mosi-oa-Tunya; the area has long been inhabited by Tonga and Kololo communities.
Conservation
Victoria Falls sits within protected parkland, and water flow varies with regional climate and upstream usage; stay on marked paths, avoid feeding wildlife, and follow guide instructions to minimize impact.

Bring a waterproof layer
Water spray at viewpoints and unexpected showers make a light waterproof jacket essential; tour provides raincoats but personal gear fits better.
Carry a zoom lens or binocs
A 200–300mm equivalent or compact binoculars capture distant wildlife and aerial perspectives from the helicopter and riverbanks.
Wear grippy shoes
Trails are often wet, rocky and uneven near the falls — choose footwear with good tread and ankle support.
Allow extra time for photos
Plan for slower pacing at viewpoints and the golden hour on the cruise; the best light often arrives late in the afternoon.
Light waterproof jacket
Keeps you dry during spray from the falls and unexpected rain.
Telephoto lens or binoculars
Helps pick out wildlife and detail from the helicopter and riverbank.
Sturdy walking shoes
Necessary for slippery viewpoints and short hikes along the gorge rim.
Small daypack with water bottle
Carries snacks, ID, and a water bottle for the full-day itinerary.
