Victoria Falls — called "Mosi-oa-Tunya" (the smoke that thunders) by the local Kololo people — is one of the seven natural wonders of the world. At 1,708 metres wide and 108 metres high, it is the world's largest curtain of falling water, producing a constant roar audible from 40km away and a spray cloud visible from 50km.
Livingstone, Zambia, offers access to the Zambian side of the Falls and the extraordinary Devil's Pool experience — swimming in a natural infinity pool at the very rim of the Falls during the low-water season. White-water rafting, bungee jumping, helicopter flights, and sunset cruises round out a spectacular activity menu.
