Adventures in Victoria
Falls
The
Victoria
Falls straddles the
border of Zambia and Zimbabwe.
With
Livingstone in Zambia and Victoria Falls town in Zimbabwe.
Both
are the hot-spots of activity and tourism in the area,
offering an array of Adventure options. Here are some activities from
adrenalin-packed adventure, the astonishing Zambezi sunsets, to the
unparallel beauty of the real Africa.
Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park, Game Drives/Safaris:
See the ONLY 5 white rhinos in Zambia plus giraffe, elephant, hippos,
crocs, buffalo, zebra, wildebeest, warthog, antelope and many species of
birds. This is also the point of the first European settlement north of
the Zambezi. Three hours is spent cruising around the park, sipping soft
drinks and getting super close to some of the most amazing creatures on
earth!
 White Water Rafting:
There is no denying it - the Zambezi provides the best rafting trip on
the planet! The mighty Zambezi is one of the reasons that so many of us
choose to make Victoria Falls our home away from home. You'll crash through
some of the biggest commercially run rapids in the world (grades 3-5)
while taking in the breathtaking scenery of the Batoka Gorge.
White Water Rafting Multi-day Trip:
If you are keen for the ultimate thrill then a multi-day trip along
the Zambezi is it! After a full day of rafting, you'll set up camp in the
Batoka Gorge and listen as the wildlife, gaze into the campfire and a down
a few cold drinks before you settle in for the night. Rise to a big
breakfast, and the crazy adventure starts again! Perfect for a group (4+
persons) traveling together.
Bungi Jumping:
The Victoria Falls Bungi Bridge is 111 meters of pure African
adrenaline and still one of the highest Bungi bridges in world! The bridge
itself forms the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia and has its own little
piece of history for being a major part of Rhodes' Cape to Cairo railway.
After screaming, crying, praying and thanking God that the elastic is
still tied to your ankles, you'll bounce around to the sites of Victoria
Falls and the Batoka Gorge.
River Boarding/Boogie Boarding:
For those of you wanting to catch the perfect wave that never breaks,
this is the best! Begin your day by grabbing a board, slapping on some
fins and learning some tricks with your qualified guide before heading
down into some HUGE walls of water. This can be combined with a rafting
trip. No experience necessary but if you're a surfer, this is a must!
Tandem Kayaking:
Maximum weight 95kg. If you aren't yet comfortable to challenge the
Zambezi on your own, then this is the next best thing! Start your day by
learning to paddle and roll while your personal guide is always right
behind. You'll brave the river along with the daily rafting trip so all
meals, drinks etc. - are included.
Kayaking:
Come and play with World-class international freestyle paddlers as
they guide you on your kayak trip of a lifetime. Beginner, intermediate,
advanced and freestyle kayaking courses available as well as full day and
multi day trips. All of this on one of the world's best kayak rivers -
come and see why so many of the best international kayakers like to
consider the Zambezi to be home! Victoria Falls big rapids, flat pools, warm water,
sunshine!
Jet Boating:
Livingstone newest thrill! Jump in the NZ built, specially designed
boat and get up to speeds of almost 90 km per hour! Sounds impressive you
say… now imagine doing that for 40 minutes while buzzing inches away
from rocks and doing full 360 degree spins! The choice is yours to either
drive out through the picturesque villages of Mukuni and Machenge or
helicopter out and over the Victoria Falls.
Abseiling/Gorge Swing:
This is definitely not for the faint-hearted! Your morning commences
with the High wire (a zip line) across the width of the Batoka Gorge. You
then learn the basics of abseiling/rap jumping down a 100m cliff face …
and then after lunch, the GORGE SWING (there is only a few other places in
the world where you can do this!). All activities can be done as many
times as you wish in the day.
Canoeing:
Get back to nature and experience the upper Zambezi River in two
person canoes. Great photo opportunities as you sneak up on all of the
wildlife and birds that the Zambezi River has on offer. Half day, Full day
and multi trips available...
River Cruise:
Discover why an African Sunset has become the source of legends! The
cruise boats, ranging from Pontoon-style party villas to multi-tiered
luxury, cruise up the Zambezi River between the Mosi-oa-Tunya National
Park (Zambia) and the Zambezi National Park (Zimbabwe) where hippos and
crocodiles are plenty. Often there are sightings of giraffe, elephant,
rhino, zebra and various antelope. Cruises range from providing snacks on

your camera!

back to Africa. Mobile camps can be extremely comfortable as well.
