The Victoria Falls
The Victoria Falls, also known as The Smoke That Thunders, is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. It is an insane waterfall on the Zambezi River between Zimbabwe and Zambia. The Falls boast a height of 108 meters (360ft) and a width of 1,708 meters (5,600 ft), making it the largest sheet of falling water in the world. One can see approximately 70% of The Falls from the Zimbabwean side and about 30% on the Zambian side, each with a unique perspective. Discover The Falls head on by taking the foot path and bridge across the gorge you will be instantly impressed by its glory.
Livingstone Statue
This statue stands in the Vic Falls National Park and is along one of the paths when you go to visit the Falls, at the Western side of the falls Livingstone stands overlooking the devils cataract section. Good photo op.
The Big Tree
The big tree is a huge specimen of the Baobab tree, you will find this beauty on Zambezi drive, it takes about 30 fully grown humans to encircle its trunk. Pretty scary huh!
The Bridge
If you are not going to Zambia or Bungi Jumping you still must visit the bridge, need to make sure they do not charge you for a second visa, but ask them to go and see your friend Bungi jumping perhaps. It is a very impressive site.

The mysterious customs and cultures of the African land have long invoked emotions of fear, wonderment and awe amongst those who have travelled this Dark Continent. Unfortunately, the ceaseless encroachment of the modern world has threatened the very basis of those ancient traditions. In an attempt to preserve these values for later generations, the Falls Craft Village has created a special place showing the traditional life of the Shona, Ndebele, Tonga, Venda, Bushman and Nyanga tribes. At night, in order to celebrate their customs and traditions, dancing takes place in a display of vibrancy and colour, drums and voices will stir the very soul of any who experience it. The warlike Shangaan, the secretive Nyau, or the mysterious Makishi masked dancers, will all present you with scenes and sounds of Africa that will stay with you forever.
