Ever Heard of a Moonbow?
Share on:
When I have guests staying at &Beyond Matetsi Water Lodge in Victoria Falls, I like to arrange special outings, such as tea on Livingstone Island or a tour with Russell Gammon, guide extrodinaire.
However, something very special is an outing to see a Moonbow!
Lunar rainbows, also known as “moonbows”, are rainbows that take place at night, when a rainbow is seen in the light of the moon. Victoria Falls is one of a very limited number of sites around the world, which are known for the occurrence of moonbows. The lunar rainbow is a spectacular event that can be seen only during the full moon.
The Lunar rainbow tour is conducted over a period of 3 days, during full moon at the Victoria Falls. Guests will be accompanied through the Rainforest by a qualified Guides who will give a brief history of the Falls themselves as well as other points of interest. Guides are also happy to assist clients with photographs whilst visiting this most spectacular of waterfalls. Raincoats are provided when needed.

Working for luxury and responsible adventure company, &Beyond, I have been privileged to have lived and worked in some stunningly beautiful and remote wilderness areas such as the Serengeti in Tanzania and the Okavango Delta in Botswana. I have also travelled extensively in Africa, both to lodges owned by &Beyond and to those that we do not own. I now use the knowledge and experience I have gained over the past 10 years to create extraordinary, seamless and often life changing safaris for my guests.

Hi Karen
We were lucky enough to see a “moonbow” while on a night drive at Kwandwe.It was full moon and it it started to rain very lightly, as it did so the rainbow appearred.It is the only one I have ever experienced.
