Victoria Falls Travel Frequently Asked Questions
-
How big are the Falls?The falls are 1708 metres wide and 107m deep, with a maximum flow rate of 550,000 cubic metres of water every minute.
-
Is it better to stay in Zambia or Zimbabwe side of the Falls?The views are considered better from the Zimbabwean side although the Zambian side is considered better for adventure activities. The town Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe) has greater cultural attractions. The Zimbabwean side of the falls enjoys a year-round rush of water (although both sides are easily accessible on most passports with visa fee payable at entry)
-
When should I visit Vic Falls?Although the falls are open all year round, May to August is considered a better time to visit as the falls are not in full flow, there is less spray allowing better views of the actual waterfalls. The falls in full flood are also spectacular (February to April), sending spray plumes over 1km up above, although views of the actual falls are very limited. In the peak of the October dry season, water flows can be limited and viewing is better on the Zimbabwean side of the falls.
