Victoria Falls Walking Tour from Livingstone

Choose from a morning or afternoon tour, and then start your tour with a pickup from your centrally located Livingstone hotel. On your way to the falls, stop on the banks of the Zambezi River for a photo op next to 'The Big Tree' — an impressive baobab that is believed to be more than 1,000 years old.

From there, your minibus delivers you to the rainforest on the fringes of Victoria Falls, where you set off on a mild walk along the lush trails. Listed as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, the waterfall is also known as Mosi-oa-Tunya, meaning ‘smoke that thunders’ in Kololo. It's a name that resonates considering you can admire the mist of the roaring falls from some 20 miles (32 km) away.

As you explore the pretty rainforest trails that surround the falls, marvel at the sight of the Zambezi River plunging down a series of basalt gorges. At roughly 1.2 miles (2 km) wide and 360 feet (108 m) tall, Victoria Falls is one of the world’s largest waterfalls — it's double the size of Niagara Falls.

Look out for Livingstone’s Statue that looks out over the Devil’s Cataract — a natural pool that marks the lowest point of the falls — and learn about the monument's namesake, David Livingstone. The intrepid explorer brought Victoria Falls to the world’s attention when he stumbled upon them in 1855. Instantly stunned by the falls’ grandeur, he decided to name them after Queen Victoria.

After two hours of exploring the rainforest trails around the waterfall, return to your coach and finish your tour with a hotel drop-off in Livingstone.
