Explore Victoria Falls
Guided Day Tour from Katima Mulilo
Standing as Africa’s largest and most spectacular waterfall, Victoria Falls is a must-see natural wonder located in Zimbabwe. If you're based in Katima Mulilo, Namibia, the easiest and most enjoyable way to witness this marvel is through a guided day trip offered by Caprivi Adventures.
Reaching Victoria Falls from Namibia involves traveling across two international borders: first through the Ngoma Border Post into Botswana, and then through Kazungula Border Post into Zimbabwe. These crossings can be time-consuming and confusing—especially for travelers using rental vehicles. But with Caprivi Adventures handling all the logistics, you're free to sit back, relax, and focus on the adventure ahead.
The Wonder of Victoria Falls
Originally known to local people as Mosi-oa-Tunya – “The Smoke That Thunders” – the falls were made internationally known after Scottish explorer David Livingstone visited them in 1855 and renamed them in honor of Queen Victoria.
Victoria Falls spans an incredible 1.7 kilometers in width and drops 108 meters into the gorge below. During peak flood season, the Zambezi River sends up to 500,000 cubic meters of water per minute plunging over the cliff. The mist and spray can rise over 400 meters and are visible from more than 40 kilometers away.
The surrounding towns of Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe) and Livingstone (Zambia) offer lodging, cultural tours, and thrilling activities—but even if you’re just passing through Namibia’s Zambezi Region, a day trip is enough to witness this phenomenal sight in person.
