Detailed itinerary

Travellers visiting the Big Tree near Victoria Falls can expect to encounter one of the most remarkable natural landmarks in Zimbabwe—a majestic baobab (Adansonia digitata) that stands as a testament to the region’s rich history and biodiversity.

The Big Tree towers at approximately 24 meters (79 feet) in height with a girth of about 22 meters (73 feet), making it one of the largest baobabs in the world.

Estimated to be between 1,500 and 2,000 years old, this ancient tree has witnessed centuries of human and natural history.

While David Livingstone carved his name into a different baobab on Garden Island, the Big Tree stands near the site where he made landfall in 1855, adding historical depth to its presence. Nearby, visitors can find a curio market offering local crafts and souvenirs.

View and walk on the Victoria Falls Bridge Which is a historic steel arch bridge spanning the Zambezi River between Zimbabwe and Zambia, offering breathtaking views of the falls and gorge. Built in 1905, it’s a marvel of colonial engineering and a popular spot for bungee jumping and photography.
