Zimbabwe Tourist Attractions

Hi all ,

I was honoured to be among Gathering of Africa’s best famous faces to visit Zimbabwe and find out for my self what the country can offer as far as travel destinations, tours and travels are concerned .

I was able to visit places like the Stanley - living stone national parks where i walked with lions and elephants rides. I was also honoured to visit the famous Victoria Falls.

Described by the Kololo tribe living in the area in the 1800’s as ‘Mosi-oa-Tunya’ - ‘the Smoke that Thunders’ and in more modern terms as ‘the greatest known curtain of falling water’, Victoria Falls are a spectacular sight of awe-inspiring beauty and grandeur on the Zambezi River, bordering Zambia and Zimbabwe.

The Victoria Falls constitutes one of the most spectacular natural wonders of the world. The Local people call it "Mosi-oa-Tunya" -- the smoke that thunders and the Falls are remarkable.

There is a magic about them manifested in the towering column of spray when the river is high, the thunder of the falling water, the terrifying abyss and tranquil lagoons upstream in which hippo and deadly crocodiles lurk.
The Victoria falls is 1 708 meters wide, making it the largest curtain of water in the world. It drops between 90m and 107m into the Zambezi Gorge and an average of 550,000 cubic metres of water plummet over the edge every minute.

Remarkably preserved in its natural state, Victoria falls inspires visitors as much today as it did David Livingstone in the 1860's.

What is there to do at Victoria Falls?
Aside from the spectacle of seeing the largest curtain of falling water on earth you can participate in a wide variety of other activities. For example:

• Add-on to a safari to Zambia, Botswana or Zimbabwe
• Historical tour with private guide
• White Water Rafting (day trips and expeditions)
• River Cruises (Breakfast cruise, Sundown cruise, Lunch cruise, Ornithologist's cruise)
• Game drives (half and full day, night drives)
• Bunji jumping
• River boarding Tours (Traditional, Cultural, Zambezi Nature Sanctuary, Falls Tour)
• Aerial trips (Helicopter, fixed-wing, and microlight)
• Upper Zambezi Canoeing (if you want to see the "wild side", canoe the lower Zambezi River)
• Zambia or Botswana)
• Walking Trails (if you want Walking Safaris - look at the some specific spots in Zimbabwe)
