A highlight of any safari to Africa is seeing the magical Victoria Falls (also called Mosi-oa-Tunya; meaning the smoke that thunders), the rolling waters which plummet over the edge of the falls are regarded as the largest body of falling water and so are a sight to see.
Victoria Falls is about twice the height of Niagara Falls and well over twice the width of its Horseshoe Falls.The Falls form the border between Zimbabwe (town called Victoria Falls) and Zambia (town called Livingstone).

For those seeking to visit the Zambezi River and Victoria Falls, while remaining observant, The River Club's Kosher ‘Lite’ and Dedicated Kosher kitchen options offer a variety of mouth-watering menus – you won’t find ‘chazerei’ here.
The history of Zambia’s small Jewish community is a personal passion for Peter Jones, an owner of The River Club. His enthusiasm for the subject has led him on a journey from the past to the present. Along the way, Peter decided The River Club would offer an opportunity for those seeking to visit the Zambezi River and Victoria Falls, while remaining observant.
