Itinerary

1

Pickup and pre-departure briefing

The "Zambia side" of Victoria Falls offers a completely different perspective from the more common panoramic views, focusing on up-close encounters with the water. Here are the key highlights and tour options available on the Zambian side. Knife-Edge Bridge: A walk across this narrow bridge provides dramatic, close-up views of the Eastern Cataract. Depending on the water flow and wind, expect to get sprayed and potentially soaked, making for an exhilarating experience. Proximity to the Water: Unlike the Zimbabwean side, which offers broad panoramas, the Zambian side gets you right next to the cascades. You can view the thundering "Boiling Pot" at the base of the falls. Naturally Occurring Pools: This side is home to famous natural infinity pools right on the edge of the falls, most notably Devil's Pool and Angel's Pool. These are available seasonally, usually when water levels are lower (typically mid-August to January), and are accessed via a boat trip to Livingstone Island
