Description
Victoria Falls transforms at night, revealing a rare lunar rainbow or 'moonbow' during the full moon phase. On the nights before, of, and after a full moon, the park opens for a limited number of visitors. Guided by a professional local expert, you will walk through rainforest trails illuminated by moonlight.
The moonlight reflecting on the mist rising from the gorge creates this exceptional natural spectacle. Your guide will provide safety instructions and explain the scientific background of the lunar rainbow phenomenon upon arrival at the Victoria Falls National Park gate.
The rainforest night walk offers a distinct experience from daytime visits—the sound of water is deeper, and the nocturnal African bush reveals its unique ambiance. Your guide will lead you to optimal viewpoints for capturing the moonbow on camera and share insights into local legends and lunar calendar details.
