Borderless Experience – Victoria Falls

Victoria Falls, straddling the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, is one of the most iconic natural wonders in the world. Also known as "Mosi-oa-Tunya" (the Smoke that Thunders) by the locals, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its size and beauty. It spans approximately 1,708 meters (5,604 feet) wide and plunges about 108 meters (354 feet) into the Zambezi River Gorge. The falls are located on the Zambezi River, which serves as the natural boundary between Zambia to the north and Zimbabwe to the south. This geographic feature creates a natural connection and shared heritage between the two nations.

Both Zambia and Zimbabwe offer access points and viewpoints from which visitors can marvel at the falls. In Zambia, the town of Livingstone provides access to the eastern side of the falls, while in Zimbabwe, the town of Victoria Falls offers views from the western side. The Victoria Falls Bridge, completed in 1905, spans the Zambezi River gorge and connects Zambia and Zimbabwe. It offers stunning views of the falls and serves as a symbol of connection between the two countries.
