Victoria Falls for a honeymoon

Victoria Falls is one of the best choices for a honeymoon.

Suitability: ★★★★★

Victoria Falls (Mosi-oa-Tunya) lies on the Zambezi between Zimbabwe and Zambia, and Victoria Falls National Park protects the Zimbabwean bank and the rainforest facing the falls. The view changes greatly between high-water and low-water seasons.

Why Victoria Falls for a honeymoon?

• Open spaces and quiet camps give more privacy.
• Luxury and private lodging options are available.

What awaits you in Victoria Falls

Wildlife you may encounter: elephants, buffalo, hippos, crocodiles, giraffes, zebras, sable antelope and kudu.

Suggested time on the ground: 2 to 3 days. Victoria Falls Airport is about 20 km from the town and the falls. The Zambian side can be visited through Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park near Livingstone, reached across the Victoria Falls Bridge.
