Explore this 2.4-mile loop trail near Victoria Falls, Matabeleland North. Generally considered an easy route, it takes an average of 56 min to complete. This is a very popular area for hiking and walking, so you'll likely encounter other people while exploring.

To fully walk the main photographic trail on the Zimbabwean side of Victoria Falls, you should budget approximately 2 to 3 hours. This 1.7-kilometer (1-mile) path consists of 16 distinct viewpoints, including the iconic Devil’s Cataract, Main Falls, Horseshoe Falls, and Rainbow Falls. The walk is relatively flat but can be slippery, and depending on the time of year, you will be drenched by the "smoke that thunders" (spray), which necessitates frequent stops to wipe camera lenses and don waterproof gear. If you are visiting from the Zambian side (Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park), the walk is shorter but includes the thrilling Knife-Edge Bridge, taking about 1.5 to 2 hours. For those who want to include the walk down to the "Boiling Pot" at the base of the falls or explore the Victoria Falls Bridge, you should add an additional 1.5 hours to your itinerary. In 2026, it remains essential to wear sturdy footwear and use a waterproof bag for your electronics, as the spray is powerful enough to soak through standard clothing in minutes during the high-water season from March to May.
