Overview
This compact tourist town sits beside one of the world's seven natural wonders, where the Zambezi plunges in a mile-wide curtain of spray. It's Zimbabwe's adrenaline capital, packed with rafting, bungee jumping, safaris and sunset river cruises.
Getting around
The small town is walkable, with taxis and lodge shuttles for the falls and activities; transfers run to the airport.
Local etiquette
Decline vendors politely but firmly, and tip guides for good service. Ask before photographing locals and respect wildlife around town.
Safety
Safe and tourist-focused, with persistent street vendors and petty theft the main concerns. Beware of baboons and warthogs around town and use reputable operators.
