    Victoria Falls is a bucket-list destination for travellers from across the globe. The main reason to visit Victoria Falls either on the Zambian side or Zimbabwean side is of course to see the falls themselves, but there are loads of other activities on offer for adventure seekers and wildlife lovers. Enjoy a sumptuous lunch before you depart on a guided tour of the majestic Victoria Falls. Guests will be accompanied through the rainforest on the edge of the falls. Your guide will give you a brief history of the falls, and details about the flora, fauna, and other points of interest. Raincoats are provided when needed to protect you against the spray from the falls. You will make your way along the designated path, which takes you to the various 16 viewpoints along the edge. The heart-pounding sensation of actually standing on the edge of the precipice above the raging Zambezi waters is something quite unforgettable.
