About the Victoria Falls
Victoria Falls is a waterfall located on the Zambezi River, on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. It is one of the largest waterfalls in the world and is considered one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. The local Tonga people call it “Mosi-oa-Tunya,” which means “The Smoke That Thunders.” The falls are approximately 1.7 kilometers wide and have a height of around 108 meters. The mist created by the falls can be seen from a great distance, and they are a popular tourist attraction in southern Africa.

White Water Rafting
The Zambezi River is widely considered to be the very best White Water Rafting River in the world. A deep channeled, high-volume river, the Zambezi has class 3 – 5 rapids interspersed with tranquil pools. And if rafting doesn’t appeal you, you can always opt for the more relaxing option of sitting on the Taita deck and watching the rafters go by!

The nearest airport is just outside Livingstone and from there it’s a 45-minute drive to Taita Falcon. Your step-by-step guide for getting to Taita Falcon Lodge is as follows:

 

1. Commercial Flights
You can fly directly into Livingstone Airport from Johannesburg, Lusaka, and other regional centers. Scheduled and chartered airlines fly into Livingstone, including British Airways, South African Airways, Air Kenya (Via Nairobi to Cape Town), S.A Air-link from Nelspruit.

 

2. Charter Flights
Scheduled and charter airlines also fly into Victoria Falls Airport (over the border in Zimbabwe) so note that additional transfer charges apply, and you’ll need Zimbabwean visas for most nationalities.

 

3. Road Transfers:
We can arrange a road transfer into the lodge from the airport or form another lodge in Livingstone.
