africa
Witness this spectacular UNESCO World Heritage Site from either the Victoria Falls National Park on the Zimbabwe side or from the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park on the Zambian side. To get to Victoria Falls, you can either fly into Victoria Falls airport in Zimbabwe or Livingstone airport in Zambia and there is a wide range of hotels to stay in on either side.
Deciding whether to stay on the Zambian or Zimbabwe side may depend on your choice of hotel, the time of year or which activities you want to enjoy at the falls. Whichever side you choose, this immense mass of water is a sight to behold.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO VISIT VICTORIA FALLS?
The best time to visit Victoria Falls is during March to May, when the full power of the falls can be experienced. After this, the floods abate though the views continue to be spectacular for several months.
At its lowest, usually November or December, the falls become little rivulets running over the edge, although there is usually some flow visible from the Zimbabwean side.
