10 Reasons why Victoria Falls must be on your "To Visit List"



Experience what it must have been like for David Livingstone to discover Victoria Falls over 100 years ago. Hills of Africa Travel can bring this rare opportunity to life.
  1. Victoria Falls is one of 7 Natural Wonders of the World that everyone should see at least once in their lives
  2. The incredible Victoria Falls, locally known as Mosi oa Tunya or "The Smoke that Thunders" has the largest curtain of falling water on earth, more than twice the size of Niagara Falls
  3. It's the "Adrenalin Capital of the World" with activities to blow you away such a white water rafting, bungee jumping, abseiling and gorge swinging
  4. You can take an amazing Walk with the Lions - orphaned young lions are adopted and trained for re-entry into the wild
  5. Experience living on the wild side on Livingstone Island - an island perched right on the very edge of the Falls and is as close as you can get to seeing the water catapulting over the Falls
  6. Imagine yourself riding an elephant - this is an unforgettable experience. You will get to ride, learn about and interact with these amazing and truly magnificent creatures.
  7. Take a sunset cruise or "booze" cruise along the Upper Zambezi River and marvel at the beauty, witness game coming down to drink in the evening and learn about the area from our guides
  8. Visiting a local village is a must do activity - you will get to interact with the village people in a working village and gain an insight into their daily lifestyle. One of our groups even arranged a football match between them.
  9. Shopping for locally made crafts, stone carvings at the traditional craft markets
  10. It's a 365-day a year destination with amazing weather

Join Hills of Africa Travel for a trip down memory lane in Victoria Falls




David Livingstone said "A sight so wonderful that angels must have gazed down on it in flight". That's Victoria Falls.

Our friend and guide, Russell Gammon, who is an exceptional historian with a special interest for African heritage, is passionate about The Victoria Falls and Africa. Russell conducts the popular "Mists of Time" heritage tour in Victoria Falls.

Whilst with Russell, you will explore the origins of the waterfall and the people who have lived in the land anointed by its mists. You will come to understand their traditions and culture and how the environment shaped these aspects of their heritage.

You will follow the tale through the arrival of the first European explorers and then the years of colonization and finally liberation. This tour de force will give you a breathtaking insight to the sweeping history of Africa and how it has shaped the destiny of a continent.

Russell will guide you on a visit to the world renowned Victoria Falls and explore the geological pre-history of the area that created this amazing spectacle. You will then have the privilege to visit Monde Village for a taste of how the people of Africa live their daily lives which has largely remained unchanged for millennia. From here the tour goes on to "The Lookout" overlooking the Falls and the Gorges for refreshments and a presentation on the life of David Livingstone and the impact his life had on the course of African history.

We can't wait to introduce our friend and amazing guide Russell Gammon to you. Call Hills of Africa Travel to arrange a private guided tour of Victoria Falls and we will make your dreams come true.
