Victoria Falls National Park

TIME : 2016/2/17 10:57:52

Located just before the border crossing and about 1km from the town centre, here on the Zim side of the falls you're in for a real treat. The walk is along the top of the gorge on a path, with various viewing points opening up to the extraordinary front-on panoramas of these world-famous falls. One of the most dramatic spots is the westernmost point known as Cataract View . Another track leads to the aptly named Danger Point , where a sheer, unfenced 100m drop-off will rattle your nerves. From there, you can follow a side track for a view of the Victoria Falls Bridge .

Hire a raincoat and umbrella just inside the gates if you go in April, or you may as well walk in your swimsuit – you will get soaked! The park is open again in the evenings during (and just before and after) a full moon in order to see the amazing lunar rainbow (tickets cost an extra US$10).
