Places to visit...
Victoria Falls, known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya or ‘the Smoke that Thunders’ is twice the height of Niagara Falls, and is one of Africa’s greatest and most-visited attractions. In addition to guided Victoria Falls tours, you can also see the world’s biggest waterfall from the air on a helicopter or thrilling microlight flight.
