Your Destinations —
Victoria Falls is the only waterfall in the world with a length of more than a kilometer and a height of more than hundred meters. It is also considered to be the largest fall in the world.
The noise of Victoria Falls can be heard from a distance of 40 kilometers, while the spray and mist from the falling water is rising to a height of over 400 meters and can be seen from a distance of 50 kilometers. No wonder that the local tribes used to call the waterfall Mosi-o-Tunya “The smoke that thunders”.
The water level varies throughout the year; it is at its peak in April, at the end of the rainy season when on average 500,000,000 liters of water flow and it is at its lowest level in October and early November.
Very few countries in the world offers the diversity that Botswana and its natural resources of wildlife has to offer, so it's easy to see why it is rated one of the world’s best wildlife destinations. The Chobe National Park has some of the largest concentrations of game on the African continent, with regular sightings include giraffe, buffalo, lion, leopard, cheetah and bushbuck. It is particularly known for its high concentration of majestic elephants. It is not uncommon to see between 500 and 1000 elephants on these floodplains at one time.
