Top Things to do in Victoria Falls
Top 10 Bus Tours 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.

My husband and I had a great time on our second honeymoon and couldn't recommend this tour company enough. The tour guide clearly knew about the sights we were seeing and made it an enjoyable (and exciting) learning experience. We saw plenty of big cats and wild animals throughout the tour. The accommodation was beyond our expectation the staff were very hospitable. The tour certainly left a lasting impression on me and I look forward to experiencing it again next time my husband and I visit Tanzania.

TLDR; this is a tremendous experience for the adventurous traveler; if you have an open mindset about meeting new people, enjoy hiking and the outdoors, and don't mind an occasionally rough ride, this is an incredible trip and well worth your time. Having never traveled outside the US, I wanted to go big on my first solo trip with the 62-day excursion from Pretoria to Nairobi. Since it was such an extensive trip, I was looking for the most value for my time, based on price, activities, and safety. I backpack often, so beyond basic comfort was not a priority for me, which turned out to be a good mindset to adopt since we camped nearly the entire trip, & rode in a truck with no AC (Namibia gets hot!). Tip - be ready to retrieve the rain fly for your tent during unexpected 3 AM rain showers! However, nearly all of the sites we stayed at had the option to upgrade from camping to comfortable indoor accommodations, which was a nice option to take advantage of occasionally. Once we reached our site for the night, we began our daily rotating duties, which included helping to cook, clean the truck, and do dishes, which I think added to the experience and helped bond our fellow tourists. Traveling solo, I felt safe at all times with our guides, drivers, and locations. My trip was split between two guides, Crispen, then Pete, and they were great company that looked out for us and kept us safe and informed about everything around us. Our guides were familiar with the paths and knew everyone at our destinations. Nothing surprised them. Our drivers were impressive as well, with Harmony and Francis keeping us safe on the often-tumultuous African roads. Navigating both urban and off-road environments in our trucks was no easy task, and Francis even proved his mechanic skills during the occasional break-down. The variety of locations we stayed at were simply incredible. From Cape Town to the deserts of Namibia, the Okavango Delta to Zanzibar Island, the mixture of urban and remote landscapes couldn't have been better. We saw every animal you can imagine. On a trip like this, an open mindset is key. Traveling for two months with strangers can go any number of ways, but due to this trip, I now have lifelong friends scattered across the globe that I can't wait to visit. This wasn't just a vacation, it was a lasting, eye-opening experience that I believe everyone should try if possible. I can't recommend this trip enough. I wish I could go back to January and do it all over again.
6. Livingstone Botswana Experience
Located in the far north of the country, Chobe National Park is Botswana's third largest and most visited national park. It takes its name from the Chobe River, which flows along the park's northern boundary and forms the border between Botswana and Namibia's Capri vi Strip. The river is the region's heartbeat, providing a year-round source of water for the multitude of animals and birds that call the park home. Its fertile floodplains combine with the grasslands, mopane woodland and thick scrub in other areas of the park to create a patchwork of habitats that together provide shelter for one of the greatest concentrations of game on the African continent.
Inclusions: Lunch, Air-conditioned vehicle, Parking Fees

February 2020 we booked a 3 Microlight flights over the Victoria Falls for April 2020 and paid € 518 in advance. In April due to Covid-19 the flight could not take place and we were promised a payback of the money paid. Until today (March 2021!), despite many, many promises we still did not receive a anything! Livingstone adventures are a bunch of unreliable, lying crooks! Please think twice before booking with them!

9. Victoria Falls Tour: Zimbabwean Side
The Shungu naMutitima Guided tour is the best way to see the falls as we get to hear the real Zambian culture stories from the guide. It is a very important aspect to our culture and history as the river is of great significance in the Tonga culture. For example we have the coming of age ceremony that is performed every year at boiling pot and the rainmaking ceremony done further upstream before the drop of the cascading down the Batoka Gorge
