the BEST things to do while in Livingstone and will probably be one of the highlights of your

VICTORIA FALLS “THE SMOKE THAT THUNDERS”
OPEN 0600 – 1800 DAILY
US$10 ENTRY
One of the seven Natural Wonders of the World, included on the World Heritage List in
1989. The view from the Zambian side is unique and many say it is “better” than the
Zimbabwean side (and we think that as well!). The Falls were named after Queen Victoria
by David Livingstone. They are 1,700m wide and have a vertical drop of over 100m.
There’s a number of paths to take you to all the viewpoints. A walk across the Knife-Edge
Bridge is a must. The path down to the Boiling Pot is also a great experience. During low
water it is possible to swim on the very edge of the Falls and at high water you can hire
raincoats to keep you dry from the spray.
ZIMBABWE SIDE OF THE VICTORIA FALLS
OPEN 0600 – 1800 DAILY
It is certainly worth seeing the Victoria Falls from ‘the other side’ if you have the extra time
and money. Where the Falls are cutting back on their next zig-zag gorge is at the Devil’s
Cataract in Zimbabwe. During low water, more water passes over this side… but during
high water there is so much spray, there is almost no point in bringing a camera! Just get
soaked and enjoy! The border shuts at 10 pm but you should cross before 9.30 pm.
Visas are payable at the border in US$ cash.
US$30-65 depending on nationality
Entrance to Victoria Falls Zimbabwe
US$20 (US$ cash only)
