Going to Africa? Victoria Falls is a must see Attraction
Want to see many of Africa’s animals and birds? Many can be seen in the immediate vicinity of Victoria Falls, and Africa’s range of river fish is well represented in the Zambezi, enabling wildlife viewing and sport fishing to be combined with sightseeing. Victoria Falls is, by some measures, the largest waterfall in the world.
Tourism
Almost 300,000 people were visiting the falls annually by the end of the 1990s. This was expected to rise to over a million in the first decade of the 2000’s. Unlike the game parks, Victoria Falls has more Zimbabwean and Zambian visitors than international tourists as they are accessible by bus and train and therefore comparatively inexpensive to reach.
Victoria Falls is one of Africa’s major tourist attractions, and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The falls are shared between the countries of Zambia and Zimbabwe. Each country has a national park to protect them and a town serving as a tourism center. In Zambia: Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park and Livingstone, and Victoria Falls National Park and the town of Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe.
