Victoria Falls is a breathtaking sight, renowned for its stunning beauty along the Zambezi River, which forms the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe....
The Kololo tribe referred to it as ‘Mosi-oa-Tunya’—‘The Smoke That Thunders’—in the 1800s. Recognized as one of the seven natural wonders of the world, the falls span 1,688 meters (5,538 feet) in width and plunge 108 meters (354 feet) in height, with a flow rate of 1,088 m³/s.
In 1851, British explorer David Livingstone first learned of this magnificent waterfall but did not reach it until November 16, 1855. He named the falls in honor of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom. After spending the night on Kalai Island a few kilometers upstream, he approached the thundering spray via a small canoe and landed on Livingstone Island, taking in his first view of this majestic natural wonder.
For dinner, you can either dine at the hotel or reserve a table on the Royal Livingstone Express, where dinner is served aboard a steam-powered train that travels along the historic “Cape to Cairo” main line, reaching the Victoria Falls Bridge just in time for a spectacular sunset. Be sure to reserve your meal and any optional activities through the hotel’s hospitality desk.
