Victoria Falls and the Zambezi Valley
The Zambezi River straddles the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia for several hundred kilometres and provides some of Africa's most scinitllating and diverse safari offerings... Beautiful scenery, friendly people, high densities of large game and a multitude of activities make the area a must do. The world famous Victoria Falls (best accessed form the town of Livingstone in Zambia or Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe) is an adventure traveler's playground! A plethora of activities from bungee jumping to white water rafting take place here. From a safari point of view, some of Africa's great parks are found in the region such as Hwange, Mana Pools and the Lower Zambezi National Park.
