Victoria Falls is undoubtedly one of the most renowned destinations in Africa. Serving as the natural boundary between Zimbabwe and Zambia, the falls are accessible from both nations. Experience the ultimate stay at a safari lodge in Victoria Falls, a remarkable [UNESCO World Heritage Site](https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/509).
Victoria Falls is a breathtaking spectacle. When the Zambezi River approaches the falls, it spans over 1.2 miles wide and cascades thunderously down a series of cliffs. Its mist can be observed from over 12 miles away, and if you visit during a full moon, you’ll be treated to a mesmerizing lunar rainbow (moonbow). Key attractions include the Main Falls, the Devil’s Cataract, and the Devil’s Pool.
This article explores safari lodges on both sides of the border: in Victoria Falls town, Zimbabwe, and Livingstone town, Zambia. For those who prefer a more classic hotel experience, the historic [Victoria Falls Hotel](https://tidd.ly/3EEaLSl), which offers views of the Victoria Falls Bridge, is perfect.
