Discover the fun and amazement surrounding Victoria Falls! As one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, its wide cascade stretches 1,708 m and drops from a height of 108 m, plunging into a chasm between Zambia and Zimbabwe. Locally known as Mosi-oa-Tunya, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is the ultimate destination for a family getaway bound to create unforgettable memories.
An Awe-Inspiring Vista
Your first encounter with the awe-inspiring Victoria Falls can be experienced from both Zambia and Zimbabwe. Yet, for an intimate family getaway, the quieter Zambian side offers an exclusive touch. For families seeking Livingstone resorts, opting for a strategically located property like the Avani Victoria Falls Resort is best. The kids will be absolutely enthralled by the mighty curtain of roaring water, which creates massive columns of spray resembling smoke—hence its local name, “The Smoke that Thunders”.
Livingstone Island
Take an exciting boat tour of the amazing Livingstone Island with your family. Nestled along the Zambezi River right at the edge of Victoria Falls, this unparalleled experience of Mosi-oa-Tunya is truly spectacular. Enjoy the excursion alongside an expert guide, giving you the perfect opportunity for swimming, canoeing, and soaking in the surrounding natural beauty.
White-Water Rafting
If you are travelling with older kids, white-water rafting on the powerful rapids of the Zambezi River provides a heart-pumping adventure followed by pure delight. It is a thrilling experience that guarantees a day filled with lifelong memories. Just ensure you book through a reputable operator for this adrenaline-fuelled adventure.
