Guided Rainforest Walk at Victoria Falls

Morning Pickup
Your guide picks you up from your Livingstone hotel or lodge at approximately the arranged time.

Transfer to Victoria Falls
A short drive brings you to the entrance of Victoria Falls.

Guided Rainforest Walk
Your guide leads you along the rainforest trail, stopping at a series of viewpoints facing directly into the gorge. Along the way, you'll learn about the geology, history, and local significance of Mosi-oa-Tunya ("The Smoke That Thunders") - not just the views, but what you're actually looking at.

Knife-Edge Bridge
Cross the Knife-Edge Bridge, walking directly into the spray zone for one of the closest, most immersive views of the Falls available from either side. Expect to get wet - this is part of the experience, especially during high-water season (February-May).

Optional: Boiling Pot Extension
For travelers wanting to go further, an optional hike down to the Boiling Pot - where the Zambezi River makes a dramatic turn below the Falls - can be added to your day.

Return Transfer
Your guide returns you to your Livingstone accommodation.
