Victoria Falls is one of the seven natural wonders of the world - it is truly one of the most spectacular sites to be seen. You can view it on both the Zambian and Zimbabwean sides although it's cheaper to on the former (US$3 vs US$20, although US$10 when we were there for some reason). You can see more on the Zim side but you really have to see it from above to comprehend it's massiveness! We went up in a microlight (US$70) which was exhilirating to say the least...
