The focal point of Victoria Falls is naturally the falls themselves, but the surrounding forests and plains are host to a wealth of fauna. Several herds of elephant occur in Zambezi National Park, occasionally crossing to the islands and Zambian mainland during the dry season when water levels are low. There are small herds of buffalo and wildebeest, as well as zebra, warthog, giraffe, and bushpig, and hippopotamus are frequent above the falls. Vervet monkey and chacma baboon are common. Lion and leopard are occasionally seen. Taita falcon breeds in the gorges, as do black stork, black eagle, peregrine falcon and augur buzzard.

Victoria Falls offers more to travellers than just nature and wildlife though. The region is famous for its cultural mix and a spectrum of activities ranging from lazy river cruises to extreme adventure sports. Colonial style and heritage is entwined with African music, decor, language and traditions. Step into the mists of the Victoria Falls and you step into a world of endless opportunities.
