ZIMBABWE

Victoria Falls, an impressive natural wonder and one of the most naturally exquisite destinations in Africa, exists purely out of tourism to The Falls. Surrounding The Falls, extreme sports activities from white water rafting to bungi jumping will thrill adrenaline junkies. Gentler pursuits from safari kayaking, safari sundowner cruises and elephant safaris, is just a small fraction of what is on offer in this truly magnificent holiday town.
Tropical Vacations Inc has representative offices in Victoria Falls on both the Zimbabwean & Zambian side of The Falls, and we can assist you with all your touring & travel requirements.
