Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe
Victoria Falls is the Zimbabwean town at the western end of the waterfall, on the southern bank of the Zambezi, with 35,199 residents at the 2022 census and city status since 2020. The falls are 1,708 m across and 108 m high; flow peaks in April and bottoms out in November, when up to half the rock face can go dry. Rafting, bungee jumping and helicopter flights run from town, which is hemmed in by three national parks. The airport is 18 km south, and antimalarials are advised for Zimbabwe.
