Overview: Guided tour of Victoria Falls
What to wear: Comfortable shoes and clothes, sun hat, sunglasses and in winter (April to August) warm layers, especially in the morning. Rain coats will be provided when required.
During times of high water (depending on the rains, usually around February to April) there can be a huge amount of spray from the Falls, and you may get very wet! We'd advise taking precautions to protect your cameras and valuables, either with waterproof coverings or bags.
