    The thunderous Zimbabwean side of Africa's most impressive waterfalls

    It’s true when people say that Victoria Falls should be seen from every angle you can get to, and the Zimbabwean side, on the southern bank of the Zambezi River, exposes still further views and thrills. Indeed this is where the largest volumes of water in all the falls can be seen.

    Only on this side can you visit the Devil’s Cataract, regarded as the area with the most impressive views of the Victoria Falls. With an average of 550,000 cubic metres of water passing over the Falls each minute here, it stands as the largest curtain of water in the world, and is a truly remarkable sight to see. You also get to marvel at First Gorge’s 110 meter wide (360 ft) cascades flowing down 150 metres (500ft) at a rapid pace, zigzagging in and out of a series of gorges.

    If staying in Victoria Falls town you can walk down the pathways to contemplate the different viewpoints of the falls, with some of the very best seats at Knife Edge Bridge and the Victoria Falls Bridge. The views from low down by the Zambezi River are a good way to experience their power up-close, at certain times of the year it is even possible to enjoy a swim in pools on the very crest of the cataract.

    For the adrenaline junkies there are a host of activities from bungee jumping (111 metre jump) off the Victoria Falls Bridge to enjoying a hair-raising white water rafting trip. For those that want their experience to be more relaxing we can arrange a private helicopter flight or a cruise along the Zambezi River, allowing you to view the diverse range of wildlife inhabited in this region of Africa.

    There's a reason Victoria Falls has been declared one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World - getting to see the rush of water up close is an unforgettable experience that leaves you in awe of how majestic nature can be. The view from the Devil's Cataract is one of my must-see spots.

    When to visit

    The falls can be enjoyed all year round, though the levels of the waters can vary quite a lot. Both low and high water have their own advantages (though the high water is more impressive, the spray can make the falls harder to see). They’re at their most spectacular between May and June.
