Situated in western Zimbabwe along the border with Zambia, the town of Victoria Falls is the country's undisputed tourism capital thanks to its proximity to the roaring waterfall known locally as "The Smoke that Thunders" (Mosi-oa-Tunya). As it’s uniquely nestled on the edge of a national park, wildlife sightings of animals wandering right into town are common. Beyond the falls, the area is also a great base for exploring incredible national parks, wildlife safaris, and high-adrenaline adventures. In this video, we will highlight the best things to do from Victoria Falls. At the end, we’ll also share a few travel tips.
