Yes, monkeys are a very common sight around Victoria Falls, particularly in the lush "rainforest" area created by the constant spray of the falls. The most frequently encountered species are the Vervet monkeys, known for their greyish-olive fur and black faces, and the Chacma baboons, which are larger, more assertive primates. These animals are highly adapted to the presence of tourists and are often seen swinging through the trees or foraging near the walkways and hotel grounds. While they can be entertaining to watch, visitors in 2026 are strictly advised not to feed them and to keep a firm grip on personal belongings. Vervet monkeys and baboons are notorious for "snatching" bags, sunglasses, or food items directly from unsuspecting tourists, and they can become aggressive if they feel threatened or if food is involved. Beyond primates, the Victoria Falls ecosystem is home to diverse wildlife including warthogs, mongooses, and various bird species like the Trumpeter Hornbill. Observing these animals in their natural habitat adds a unique "safari" element to the experience of visiting one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.
