Inside Victoria Falls National Park, visitors explore 16 prominent vantage points that reveal the grandeur of Victoria Falls.

Continuing along the rainforest path, visitors enjoy sweeping views of the impressive Main Falls, the largest curtain of water at the falls. Guests also see Livingstone Island, where explorer David Livingstone first observed the waterfall in 1855. The walk then reveals Horseshoe Falls, Rainbow Falls, the highest point of the falls, and the Eastern Cataract, before ending near Armchair Falls, where the Zambezi River completes its plunge into the gorge.
