Livingstone and Victoria Falls
Five hours' drive or a one-hour flight from Lusaka, Victoria Falls are amongst the most impressive in the world. 1708 metres wide and 108 metres high they are the world's largest single sheet of falling water, and are without a doubt the most accessible falls to see close up. There is a wide choice of activities including the helicopter and ultra-light flights over the falls ($175 for 15 minutes), walking safaris in Mosi Oa Tunya National Park to find the only rhinos in the country ($95), visiting a cheetah and caracal sanctuary, horse riding, white water rafting on the Zambezi downstream from the falls though the gorges, bungee-jumping from Livingstone Bridge over the gorge, lion walks, and more. In the evening there are sunset cruises upstream of the falls.
