Imagine standing on the edge of Victoria Falls, feeling the mist on your face as the Zambezi River plunges into the gorge below.

Victoria Falls - South Africa

Situated on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe in southern Africa, Victoria Falls is the largest waterfall in the world, spanning about 1,708 meters (5,604 feet) in width and reaching heights of up to 108 meters (354 feet). The falls are formed by the Zambezi River, which plummets into a deep gorge, creating a breathtaking cascade of water. Recognized for its outstanding natural beauty, Victoria Falls is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The indigenous name for Victoria Falls is "Mosi-oa-Tunya," which translates to "The Smoke that Thunders." This name aptly captures the incredible mist and spray that rises from the falls, visible from great distances. Visitors can witness the falls from various viewpoints, with the most popular being the Zimbabwean side. The main viewpoints include Victoria Falls Bridge, Devil's Cataract, Main Falls, Horseshoe Falls, and Rainbow Falls.

Visitors may also experience a range of adrenaline-pumping activities like white-water rafting, bungee jumping from Victoria Falls Bridge, zip-lining, and helicopter or microlight flights for a thrilling aerial perspective.

During full moon nights, a lunar rainbow or "moonbow" can be observed at Victoria Falls, adding a magical touch to the already enchanting scenery.

The town of Victoria Falls, located in Zimbabwe, serves as a gateway to the falls. It provides a range of accommodations, from luxury lodges to budget-friendly options, as well as restaurants, markets, and cultural experiences.

"Jade brought to life my dream of visiting the Tuscany region of Italy. We started planning almost 18 months in advance, then honed in on all the details of our final itinerary. Every detail was efficiently secured - travel (air, bus and car), beautiful accommodations, and Florence historical tours. Jade's love of research and skill at finding deals made our two weeks in Tuscany a wonder. Our time in both Florence and Panzano was unforgettable, with sights, tastes and pace perfect for us. She even arranged delivery of e-bikes to our accommodations in Panzano, so we could tour the countryside. Jade brings to our travel adventures a rare combination of practical skills and an artist's sensitivity. Any future travel will include her wonderful guidance!"
