Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park

Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park is a protected area in Zambia that encompasses the Zambian side of Victoria Falls on the Zambezi River. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Travelers visit the park to view the falls and the surrounding river ecosystem from various vantage points.

Getting There

The park is located approximately 7km from the center of Livingstone. Access is typically via taxi or rental car, with the drive taking roughly 15 to 20 minutes depending on traffic.

Duration of Visit

Visitors should allow between 3 and 5 hours to walk the designated paths and view the different sections of the falls. This allows for a steady pace and time for photography.

When to Visit

The volume of water varies by season; the falls are most powerful during the rainy season, while water levels drop during the dry season. Early morning visits are recommended to avoid the midday heat. The site can become crowded during peak tourist seasons.
