| Victoria Falls |
 The Victoria Falls constitutes one of the most spectacular natural wonders of the world. The sight of millions of gallons of turbulent water cascading over a sheer precipice into narrow gorge a hundred meters below is something nobody can ever forget.
This volume of water is greatest in April and May though photographers get better pictures, and keep their cameras dry when the river is less full.
Victoria Falls is a one-hour hop by air from Harare, and less than an hour from Bulawayo.
The local people who led David Livingstone to this magical place in 1855 call it "Mosi-oa-Tanya". The Smoke That Thunders can be seen 70km away. "Scenes so lovely, must have been gazed upon by angels in their flight," said David Livingstone.Visitors can fly over the falls in a variety of aircrafts including helicopters and micro light or do Bungi jumping from the bridge above the gorge.
Canoeing and Kayaking on the upper Zambezi River is a magical experience that brings one much closer to nature. Here visitors have the time to enjoy the bird life and varied vegetation and to sit silently watching the animals come down to drink and play in shallow waters.
A night spent on the banks of the upper Zambezi on a canoeing safari or down in the brooding gorges whilst rafting, is a never to be forgotten experience.
The African sun setting and rising, the camp fire and the stories of your professional guides, enrich, even further the adventurers unique bush experience.
For those visitors not wanting an active adventure there is the pleasure of cruising down the Zambezi with a chilled drink in hand, watching hippo as the sunsets behind gentle swaying palm trees.
