Open to visitors throughout the year, the Victoria Falls National Park protects the south bank of the Zambezi river, just below the famous Victoria falls. It is located in western Zimbabwe and covers 2,340 hectares. It lies next to the bigger Zambezi National Park.

The greatest spectacle in the area is the famous Victoria Falls, 1,700m wide and 108m high. An astounding 545 million liters of water flow down the falls during the floods. The magnificence of the falls can be imagined from the fact that at times the spray rises to a height of 400m and is visible even 70km away. Visitors are encouraged to visit during August to December, which is the best time to observe the falls.

Accommodation is provided on camping sites in the Zambezi National Park. Further, there are hotels at the Victoria Falls Village. Visitors have the chance to view animals like the elephant, buffalo, white rhino, antelopes, hippo and the eland during drives and walking safaris. Moreover, a crocodile ranch offers a view of the dangerous crocodiles. Visitors are required to take precautions against malaria and crocodiles.
