Moonbow apprear at night
Nobody has ever been to the Victoria Falls who has stated, "Don't go chasing waterfalls." The breathtaking cascade is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World and is regarded as the longest stretch of water flowing in the entire world. However, relatively few people are aware of the Moonbow or Lunar Rainbow phenomenon and when to visit.
Moonbows near Victoria Falls illuminate the night sky for three days each month. It is one of the few spots on earth where this natural sight can be easily observed and occurs frequently.
Lunar Rainbows are far rarer and more delicate than their daytime counterparts since they are created by moonlight rather than sunlight. A stunning dancing rainbow appears in the night sky when a full moon is bright enough to have its light reflected by a waterfall or rainfall. The moonbows cast their brightest glimpse of color as the night wears on as they descend deeper into the gorge.
The Lunar Rainbows appear from February through August, when the water is at its highest. The National Heritage Commission, the organization in charge of this world heritage site, will open the park from 1800 to 2400 on the night before the full moon, the night of the full moon, and the night after the full moon if you happen to be in Livingstone during those times.
