Livingstone Airport Zambia to Zamezi Sun, the new Avani Victoria Falls Resort
Meet and greet at the airport, welcome to Zambia! Victoria Falls, a spectacular sight of beauty and grandeur forms the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. Locally called ‘Mosi-o-a-Tunya’ (The Smoke that Thunders), the two kilometer wide Victoria Falls is the greatest curtain of falling water in the world - more than five hundred million cubic meters of water per minute plummet into a gorge one hundred meters down. It transforms the Zambezi from a placid river into a ferocious torrent. Facing the Falls is another similar cliff capped by mist-soaked rain forest, providing the visitor with unparalleled views of the Falls. View one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, first from Livingstone on the Zambian side, under the African sun. Enjoy a classy sun-downer at the viewing deck from the Royal Livingstone Safari Hotel - the sun sets over the falls for a memorable view.
