Flights from Johannesburg to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe
Most travelers flying to the town of Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe are doing so for one reason – the visit to Victoria Falls itself, the famous waterfall on the Zambezi River, one of the largest and most spectacular waterfalls in the world. The explorer David Livingstone named the falls after Queen Victoria, but the local tribes call it Mosi-o-Tunya, “the Smoke that Thunders” – with the spray and mist rising to over 400 meters and the noise heard from 24 miles away, visitors soon find out why!
