The bridge across the gorge connects Zambia and Zimbabwe. This unique site ranks as a natural wonder of the world. The falls are at their most thunderous from April to June after the rains, when about five million cubic feet of water per minute tumble into the gorge. During this time, huge clouds of mist and spray obscure the cascades. Late summer, fall, and winter offer better views and excellent rafting.
Accommodations range from small, clean, and comfortable hotels to more luxurious lodges.
Our southern Africa trips do or can include Victoria Falls. All night long I could hear those large pachyderms compressing the earth as they lumbered past my tent windows on their way to their watering hole. It was the thrill of my lifetime.
