The most important decision about a safari is deciding where to go. We have worked with thousands of travelers as they plan their safari vacations and in the process we have found that the choice of specific Parks/Reserves and camps/lodges is greatly facilitated by starting with a big picture approach of what one is looking for in a safari, and then looking at the different safari offerings at different locations in southern Africa to select the option that matches specific needs of the traveler.
At Victoria Falls Tours our mission is to provide comprehensive information for photographic and game viewing safaris to Southern Africa. Through our extensive network of experienced safari operators in South Africa, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Mozambique, we provide a window for the travelers to view, compare and select from different safari options available. We are not going to ‘sell’ you a safari package, but instead we will provide you with packages from different safari operators for you to make a choice according to your budget and preference.

"No one can imagine the beauty of the view from anything witnessed in England. It had never been seen before by European eyes; but scenes so lovely must have been gazed upon by angels in their flight", David Livingstone wrote after seeing the falls for the first time on November 17 1855.
Livingstone had been told about the falls before he reached them from upriver and was paddled across to a small island that now bears the name Livingstone Island. Livingstone had previously been impressed by the Ngonye Falls further upstream, but found the new falls much more impressive, and named them after Queen Victoria.
The local people had known it for years, the southern Tonga people known as the Batoka/Tokaleya who called the falls Shungu na mutitima. The Matabele, a break away group from Tshaka of the Zulu, named them aManzi aThunqayo, and the Makololo called them Mosi-oa-Tunya. All these names mean essentially the same thing, 'the smoke that thunders. Victoria Falls is one of the 7 wonders of the world; one of Africa’s major tourist attraction and indeed one of the world’s most prolific and spectacular falls.
