The 10 Best Things to do in Victoria Falls, Southern Province
In the 1800s, the Kokolo tribe called Victoria Falls "Mosi-oa-Tunya," the smoke that thunders. That's still an apt description for the awe-inspiring waterfall that plummets over basalt cliffs along the Zambian border. Taxis and minibuses regularly run between Livingstone and the falls, which can be seen from bridges along the spray-drenched top or from "The Boiling Pot" at the bottom. Nearby are a Mukuni tribal village and a game park with giraffe, antelope and white rhinos.

Africa's first genuine programme to ethically re-introduce the offspring of rehabilitated captive-bred African lion back into the wild, helping safeguard the future of the king of the beasts.No leashes, no collars, just a natural African wildlife adventure operating in the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park by Thorntree River Lodge, 10 minutes from Livingstone. Guests will have the unique experience of walking alongside and interacting with the lions as they play, learn to hunt and prepare for release.

The opportunities to spend quality time with big cats is rapidly disappearing. The various movements in favor of prohibiting physical encounters with wildlife are ascendant and Zimbabwe's lion education centers are not immune to the pressure (even before the Cecil controversy). At the Lion Encounter you will experience a walk with two of four young cats (less than 2 years old) who remain in the encounter program while awaiting release into a conversation reserve elsewhere. The cats will never be "wild" but they are not "tame" either. At best they are socialized. That is why the walk is accompanied by no fewer than 4 handlers to manage the two cats and the guests while another gives the presentation and yet another makes a video for the group to purchase later. It is an important source of funds to have foreign visitors present, and all that they do to protect the cats from human contact is done (hand sanitizer, physical distance, perfumes and odor bans). The draw of the big cats is really irresistible for most people, myself included, and always there is one person who is scared to death. The small group size helps (10 or fewer), and the short walking distance also helps with creating a casual (appearing) interaction with these charming animals.

Located just 10 km from Livingstone, Zambezi Elephant Trails has established Zambia’s first “Elephant Camp” – offering a once in a lifetime insight into these gentle giants. Together with this ecologically friendly method of game viewing, a strong emphasis is placed on an Elephant experience rather than just an Elephant ride and guests are encouraged to interact with these majestic and intelligent African mammals. The training techniques used by Zambezi Elephant Trails are based on the positive reinforcement method as opposed to the controversial “discipline and submission” technique commonly associated with Asian Elephants. Our five African Elephants Mashumbi, Danny, Liwa, Madinda and Marula each offer two guests an unparalleled viewpoint of the mighty Zambezi River and surrounding bush area of Mosi Oa Tunya National Park. Nandi born to Liwa in 2004 and Sekuti the orphan now seven, will carry just one guest each. Our two youngsters Muyuni and Nyami accompany on the walk frolicking along with the herd.
