The Smoke That Thunders🤩
🤩 "The Smoke That Thunders" - that is what locals call Victoria Falls. And oh my what a spectacular sight it is of awe-inspiring beauty and grandeur on the Zambezi River. It sure does deserve its prime position as the largest waterfall in the world. 💧😆🌿 Is this destination on your bucketlist?

- Is 108m (354ft) high
- Locally is known as Mosi-oa-Tunya ("The Smoke that Thunders")
- It straddles across the borders of Zambia and Zimbabwe
BEST TIME TO VISIT:
🌞Summer (Dec – March): At The Travel Café, our favourite time to go to the Victoria Falls is late summer (March). We recommend going just before flood season, to reduce the amount of spray and mist so that you are able to see the falls clearly.
❄️ Winter (June to September): Our second favourite time to visit Victoria Falls is winter (July). The force of the water is receding, allowing for beautiful views that are less obscured by mist and spray.
🍁 Autumn (April – May): This is when the Falls are at their peak and in many ways not the ideal time to visit the Victoria Falls, where the vast amount of mist and spray actually hinders your photographic opportunities.
🌸 Spring (September – November): Our least favourite time to visit Victoria falls is spring, as the Victoria Falls are at their lowest flow and completely dry up in parts.
👣 However, if you are coming specifically to swim in Devil’s Pool or Angel’s Pool, then spring and the beginning of summer are the only seasons safe enough to offer that activity.
