Why Families Love Victoria Falls Family Tour
The Zimbabwean side of Victoria Falls offers the most spectacular views of the worlds largest sheet of falling water. Well-maintained walking trails through the Victoria Falls Rainforest lead to 16 different viewpoints, each more breathtaking than the last. Permanent rainbows, thundering spray, and the sheer power of the Zambezi River plunging 108 meters create an unforgettable family experience.

Tips & Tricks from Real Parents
The Zimbabwe side has the best views (85% of the falls visible) while the Zambia side is closer to the water.
Go in the morning when the sun is at your back for the best rainbow photos.
Bring a waterproof bag and poncho. In peak season (June), you will get soaked even from the viewpoints.
The rainforest trail is about 2 km and stroller-friendly in dry season. For toddlers, carriers are better.
Combine with a sunset helicopter flight over the falls for the ultimate family photo opportunity.

A Real Parent's Story
The rainbow that followed us through the rainforest
“Every viewpoint had a rainbow. My kids started counting them. We lost count at 8. They still argue about the final number.”
Read full story
We visited in July when the falls are at full power. The spray is so thick it feels like rain. My three kids (5, 7, 10) ran from viewpoint to viewpoint, rainbows appearing and disappearing as the sun shifted. The main falls viewpoint had a double rainbow that lasted 20 minutes. We took what must be the best family photo ever.
