Operated by Livingstone Lourie Safari Ltd · Victoria Falls, Matabeleland North
You arrive at the rim of Victoria Falls and the Zambezi river pulls your attention like a bright, urgent rope—water pushing itself over basalt into the Batoka Gorge below. The Shungu naMutitima guided tour on the Zimbabwean side pairs that raw hydrology with the stories of the Tonga people: rainmaking rites performed upstream, coming-of-age ceremonies at the Boiling Pot, and the river’s role in local social life.
