Victoria Falls National Park

Victoria Falls National Park

This national park protects the ecosystem surrounding the Zambezi River and the Victoria Falls. Travelers visit this area to observe the river's flow both upstream and downstream of the falls and to view the surrounding natural landscape.

Getting There

The park is located near Livingstone. From the city centre, you can reach the park via taxi or local transport. The journey typically takes around 15 to 20 minutes depending on traffic and the specific entry point used.

Time Allocation

Depending on how many trails you intend to walk and whether you are visiting the riverbanks, allow between 3 to 6 hours to explore the park grounds.

When to Visit

The experience varies by season due to the water levels of the Zambezi River. During the high-water season, the spray is more intense, which can limit visibility but increase water volume. The park can become crowded during peak international travel seasons. Visiting in the early morning is recommended to avoid midday heat.
