Victoria Falls: Mosi-oa-Tunya, “The Smoke That Thunders”

Victoria Falls is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World and one of Africa’s most breathtaking spectacles. Known locally by its original name, Mosi-oa-Tunya—meaning “The Smoke That Thunders”—the falls create an awe-inspiring wall of water that plunges over a mile-wide basalt cliff into the Zambezi Gorge below. The mist rises so high it can be seen for miles, often crowned by shimmering rainbows in the midday sun or even moonbows under a full moon.

This is more than a waterfall—it is an immersive experience. Walk the rainforest trail to feel the spray on your face, listen to the thunderous roar, and take in multiple viewpoints that showcase its dramatic power. Add in a sunset cruise on the Zambezi River, where hippos yawn and elephants drink along the shore, and you have the perfect ending to your Safari Swing adventure.
