Victoria Falls was first “discovered” by the Western world when explorer David Livingstone set his astonished eyes on the magnificent cascade in 1855. Since then, Victoria Falls, and the town that grew up around it, has become one of the most-visited places in Africa, and a symbol of the power and majesty of the continent. Though it went through a period of decline during the worst years of the Mugabe regime, Vic Falls has bounced back with renewed vigor. Hotels are again operating at near capacity, restaurants are lively and crowded, and the adventure activities that the town made famous are running full throttle.
