VICTORIA FALLS GUIDED TOUR ZAMBIA SIDE

A natural phenomenon and one of the seventh wonders of the natural world, the Victoria Falls is an immense 1.5 km wide curtain of water cascading 111 metres into the Batoka gorge. Around 550 million litres of water fall over the lip every minute making it an absolutely awesome spectacle. Surrounding the falls is a luscious rain forest, sustained year round by spray created by the thundering falls. There are plant species here which are rarely seen elsewhere in Zambia. During peak flow, the Zambian side of the Falls is a spectacular sight and walkways lead to vantage points across the Knife Edge Bridge. A Victoria Falls Tour with Safpar will not only enlighten you with the history of the Falls, but also take your breath away with their beauty,As the mighty Zambezi River crashes over a basalt rock ledge and drops 108 metres (354 feet) down into a powerful whirlpool, it forms the largest sheet of falling water on the planet: the Victoria Falls. Traditionally known as Mosi-oa-Tunya (which, aptly, means the 'Smoke that Thunders'), the falling water’s impressive roar can sometimes be heard from 40 kilometres (25 miles) away. And on a wind-free day during high-water season, which runs from about February to July depending on the rain, a dazzling cloud of mist can float high above the Falls. This is truly a magnificent wonder of nature that every safari lover should experience at least once!
