Ideal length
A journey between the curtain of water at Victoria Falls, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the elephant herds that gather at Hwange National Park's waterholes.
Named thus by the Kalolo-Lozi people long before David Livingstone's arrival, Victoria Falls forms the world's largest curtain of water by combined width and height — more than a kilometre and a half wide with a drop of one hundred and eight metres. The mist cloud it throws up is visible for dozens of kilometres around, and the Zimbabwean bank offers the fullest panorama, with sixteen viewpoints linked by a forest trail.
Zimbabwe's largest national park, Hwange holds one of southern Africa's highest elephant densities, drawn by artificial waterholes maintained for decades through the dry season. Far from the crowds of East Africa's better-known parks, its sandy tracks and mopane plains are often driven without crossing another vehicle, for an immersion rarely matched elsewhere on the continent.
