Victoria Falls

Jenna, Gwen, & Steve explore Victoria Falls, African wildlife, and lots of culture in this small Zimbabwe town!

The number one thing to do in Victoria Falls, ZI is, unsurprisingly, Victoria Falls! B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L! Expect to pay $30 entry fee, but they have a lovely path that you can walk along to see different views of the falls. You can pay for a guide, but all of the guides we saw seemed unnecessary, there isn’t too much to say about the falls…you go for the beauty of it! Others we spoke with afterwards confirmed what we suspected- not worth it to pay for a guide.

We were told to bring a raincoat when we went there. After our trip thru the park we decided that a raincoat was not necessary, you were going to get soaked whether you wore it or not. We've seen many water falls in the US (but not Niagara) and Victoria is definitely different, it is worth the trip if you are anywhere near it. We flew from Windhoek to Victoria just to see it before heading home. It's worth the trip.
 
Good Info, Thanks, Brian

To avoid getting soaked there you would need a set of alaska fishing rain gear and rubber boots. The soaking is worth the experience! Bring water shoes.

we also walked down to the river bottom, it was amazing to see the muscle of that river up close.
 
Now is a great time to visit the falls. Covid has drastically impacted tourism, so you'll basically have the place to yourself. There was only 1 other couple visiting the Vic Falls National Park when we went through. When we went for sunrise cruises on the Zambezi, our boat was the only boat on the river.

If you're going to visit the falls, I highly recommend staying at the Old Drift Lodge. They take the idea of "glamping" to a new level!

I am booked at Old Drift Lodge between 25 July - 29 July for next year before my hunt. Looking forward to it.

Sir, I think I have been writing to you about the purchase of the HK 639 rifle under an email "Tt Jake." If this is you, then I am truly interested. I am just trying to verify identify. Tt Jake is asking for a cash transaction. No disrespect intended, Just trying to verify who I am talking to. Thank you. Respectfully. Dan

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
Finally back to somewhat normal I missed reading the messages and posts
Remember I will be at the ISE show in Denver Colorado for 8-12 January, and after the show I will be available for meetings anywhere in the USA I will traveling around to meet with old and new clients, let me know and we will set up a meeting!
Beautiful Aardwolf for our Spanish client and good friend Alberto
