Victoria Falls National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is renowned for its majestic waterfalls and diverse wildlife. Located on the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia, this park offers a unique blend of natural beauty and thrilling safari experiences. As part of the larger Zambezi National Park, it provides excellent opportunities for game viewing and bird watching.
The main attraction is the Victoria Falls, known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya, or "The Smoke That Thunders." They are one of the largest and most famous waterfalls in the world, offering stunning views and a thundering roar that captivates all who visit. Surrounding the falls, the park's lush landscapes are home to a rich variety of flora and fauna.
The falls span over 1,700 meters and drop into a gorge over 100 meters deep, creating a mesmerizing spectacle.
Victoria Falls National Park is host to a wide array of wildlife, including elephants, buffaloes, zebras, and numerous antelope species. The park is also a birdwatcher's paradise, with over 400 bird species recorded. Whether you're a seasoned safari-goer or a first-time visitor, the park offers an unforgettable wildlife experience.

The best time to visit Victoria Falls National Park depends on what you wish to experience. The falls are at their fullest from February to May, after the rainy season, providing a spectacular view. However, from June to August, the weather is cooler, and the wildlife is more concentrated around water sources, making it ideal for game viewing.

Tip: For the best of both worlds, visit in April or May when the falls are still powerful, and the weather is pleasant.
Each season offers unique experiences, whether it's the lush greenery of the rainy season or the crisp, clear views of the dry months. Planning your visit around these seasonal changes can enhance your safari experience.
