VICTORIA FALLS AND BEYOND Victoria Falls constitutes one of the most spectacular natural wonders of the world. There is a magic about these remarkable falls manifested in the towering column of spray when the river is high, the thunder of the falling water, the terrifying abyss and tranquil lagoons upstream in which hippo and deadly crocodiles lurk. Victoria Falls is 1,708 meters wide, making it the largest curtain of water in the world. It drops between 90 meters and 107 meters into the Zambezi Gorge and an average of 550,000 cubic meters of water plummet over the edge every minute. Remarkably preserved in its natural state, Victoria Falls inspires visitors as much today as it did David Livingstone in the 1860's. The Falls and the surrounding area have been declared a national park and a World Heritage Site, thus preserving the area from excessive commercialization. VICTORIA FALLS ooooo THE ELEPHANT CAMP Situated on a private concession, The Elephant Camp provides breathtaking views of Victoria Falls, as well as the spectacular gorges that separate Zimbabwe  and Zambia. The Elephant Camp is a luxurious and intimate lodge within easy reach of Victoria Falls and all its attractions and activities, yet secluded in its own private game reserve. With an emphasis on exclusivity, the nine luxury tented suites all have private decks and plunge pools and are equipped with air conditioning and indoor and outdoor showers. 26 Victoria Falls & Beyond ooooo VICTORIA FALLS HOTEL The Victoria Falls Hotel is situated in the Victoria Falls National Park, offering world-class service and a historical charm that resonates in each of its 161 rooms.
