Very first seen by a European, Scottish missionary-explorer Donald Livingstone, in 1885, they are also a inesco globe heritage site. The drops are considered a remarkable spectacle due to the peculiar, narrow, slot-like chasm into that the water falls, so it's possible to view the victoria fall face-on. The drops are part of two national parks, Mosi-oa-Tunya Nationwide Park in Zambia and Victoria Drops National Park in Zimbabwe. The actual Falls are one of Southern Africa's main tourist attractions.
The seasons are wet or dry, and depending on what you wish to see and do, the season matters. The River's annual flood season is February to May with a peak in April. At this time, commercial whitewater rafting is not available, as the class V rapids become class VI and are too dangerous to maneuver. By the way, the Zambezi White Water Rafting is internationally acclaimed as being the wildest in the world!
The victoria falls is the amazing wonders of the world. During the flood season, the spray from the Falls typically rise to a height of over 400 meters, can obscure a vast portion of the Falls, limiting what you see. The advantage of visiting in the winter, or the dry season (July, August and September) is that the temperatures are delicious, averaging in the low 70's during the day and dropping to the low 60's at night. The humidity is very low, and the bugs, well, there are hardly any bugs to be seen.
