Travel to The Victoria falls

Straddled between Zambia and Zimbabwe, Victoria Falls is one of the wonders of the world, classified as a World Heritage Site by Unesco. Discovered in 1855 by the British explorer David Livingstone, they were named in honour of Queen Victoria. However, local tribes call them the Mosi-oa-Tunya, literally 'the smoke that thunders'. It must be said that their deafening noise and especially the steam can not be missed for miles around; the equivalent of twenty Olympic swimming pools plunge into this deep precipice from more than 330 ft every second. The falls are accessible from Zimbabwe, where you can admire the famous Devil's Cataract, but it is from the Zambian side that the falls are most easily accessible. Brace yourself with a good wind-breaker, especially during the rainy season spanning from February to July, prior to taking the narrow path that runs along the mountainside, the opposite side of the falls. The sight of this natural miracle is staggering, brightened by a rainbow in the slightest ray of sunshine! Despite its popularity among tourists, the site has remained relatively wild and preserved on this side. Apart from outside stalls where wind-breakers can be rented, you will not find a single trace of queues, improvised refreshments or vendors.
As for accommodation, Zambia is now in fierce competition with Zimbabwe, which was formerly the only country to have tourist hotels near the falls. This is due to the recent construction of the hotels Zambezi Sun and Royal Livingston by the hotel group Sun International. Entrance to the falls is free of charge and unlimited for customers of these two hotels.
