Victoria Falls
There is no way to plan a trip to Africa without attempting to visit Victoria Falls. The beauty of this waterfall is inexpressible in words and beyond exhilarating in person. You can bungee jump off of the bridge or go on a jet boat or white water rafting trip at the bottom of the falls.
Because of the popularity of Victoria Falls it is by far equipped with plenty of locations to book a room for the duration of your stay, whether it be a simple hotel room or a single, self-catering apartment.
