About this experience

See Victoria Falls from both Zimbabwe and Zambia on one guided experience. This tour gives you access to viewpoints on each side of the Zambezi River, allowing you to follow the falls across the gorge and understand how the landscape, water flow, and viewing angles change from one country to the other.

Start on the Zimbabwe side, where you walk through Victoria Falls National Park and stop at several viewpoints directly facing the main curtain of water. Continue to the historic bridge that connects Zimbabwe and Zambia and cross into Zambia for a second perspective from Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park. On the Zambian side, paths take you closer to the river and along Knife-Edge Bridge, where you look into the gorge and watch the river disappear over the edge.

Your guide shares information about the waterfall, the river system, and the history of the border. This is the best way to experience Victoria Falls in one day without choosing between the two sides
