Description
Experience the rare "Moonbow" on this guided night walk in Livingstone, Zambia. Witness the lunar rainbow over Victoria Falls from the best viewpoints in Mosi-oa-Tunya Park during the full moon.
Step into a world of pure nocturnal magic. While Victoria Falls is a breathtaking sight by day, it holds a hidden wonder that only reveals itself when the sun goes down.
On the night before, the night of, and the night after a full moon, the park opens its gates after dark for a select few. Armed with your sense of adventure and guided by a professional local guide, you will journey down the rainforest trails under the soft glow of the moon.
As the light of the rising full moon strikes the immense cloud of mist rising from the gorge, a brilliant lunar rainbow—or "moonbow"—arcs across the night sky.
