David Livingstone Falls


Excerpt from Livingstone's second visit to the Falls: We landed at the head of Garden Island (now Livingstone Island) situated in the middle of the river and on the lip of the falls. On reaching that lip and peering over the giddy height, the wondrous and unique character of the magnificent cascade at once burst upon us. It is a hopeless task to endeavour to convey an idea of it in words, since an accomplished painter could but impart a faint impression of the glorious scene.

See 2 Believe

If David Livingstone could not describe Victoria Falls, how do we tell you about this awesome natural wonder. It really does have to be seen to be believed and only then will you understand what Livingstone saw.

Golfing with the Giants

listen to the Falls and enjoy a round on a Gary Player designed golf course. The usual obstacles are all there to be encountered: bunkers, water hazards etc. Its the unusual obstacles that present a far more different challenge as elephants, waterbuck and impala can also be found enjoying the greens with you.

With the economy being what it is in Zim, at golf courses, golfers pay for their drinks before they set off on their round, because the price will have gone up by the time they have finished the 18th hole.

Stay & Play

Victoria Falls is the catalyst for many of the areas adventure activities and rightly has the reputation as Africa's adventure capital with over 50 activities and safaris to enjoy.

Dumela Botswana

Botswana's Chobe national park is approx. 80 kms from Victoria Falls - another one of those MUST SEEDO. Why? Because Chobe is home to the largest herd of elephants in Africa and with some 120 - 150 000 of the gentle giants on the move this is an AWESOME sight much as Vic Falls is.

au revoir & bon voyage
