This site today is a world heritage site with the largest single curtain of falling water on the planet, also known as “The Smoke that Thunders.” (Rainforest entry fees have been pre-paid with your itinerary costs.)
The tour will begin with a visit to the world renowned Victoria Falls visitors center where you will explore the geological history of the area that created this magnificent spectacle. The sights, sounds, and aromas of the Falls are truly an awe-inspiring experience that provokes humbling feelings from within – here, indeed, is nature’s supreme masterpiece. No photograph can begin to depict the reality, and nothing prepares you for your first sight.
