Victoria Falls Activities
This page contains information on some of the exciting activities that you can take part in at the Victoria Falls.
Bungi Jumping
With the Falls behind you and the river rushing below the Victoria Falls Bridge this is no ordinary bungi jump. At 111 metres it is also one of the highest jumps in the world. The adrenalin rush is as wild as the river itself.
There are two bungi options. A single jump on your own and a tandem jump with a partner. You meet at the Day Activity Centre at a time convenient to yourself and stroll to the Victoria Falls Bridge with your passport, passing through the Zambian immigration point. Including the walk the entire experience takes approximately 45 minutes to an hour. The bungi supervisors are there from 09.00 until 16.00. Jump whenever you feel like it.
The minimum age is 14 years, the minimum weight is 40 kgs and the maximum weight is 140 kgs. Prices are the same for all ages

Canoe Safaris on the Upper Zambezi
Probably the best way to appreciate the beauty, peace and wildlife of the Zambezi River above the Falls is to paddle slowly downstream in a canoe with some of the best wildlife guides in Africa. Watch the Pied Kingfisher hover and dive, listen to the haunting call of the fish eagle and the grunts of the hippo, see elephant, buffalo, and other animals come down to drink and explore the islands and waterways along the route. There is time to stop for something to eat and drink and listen to tales of Livingstone’s journey to the Falls.
There are 4 ½ hour safaris which begin in the morning and include tea, coffee, soft drinks and snacks. A full day safari lasts 9 hours and includes a cold lunch with wine, soft drinks and beer. Guests are picked up from the Day Activity Centre at 08.00 and dropped off there at 13.30 for a half-day and 17.00 for the full day safari.

Elephant Back Safaris
It is not often one can climb onto the back of an African Elephant and set off at an easy rolling pace in search of other wild game; wild elephant, giraffe, buffalo and much more. This is an elephant ‘experience’ and the guides are highly trained experts in the behaviour of elephants and the wildlife around them.
Elephant Back Safari's are conducted on both the Zambian and Zimbabwean side of Victoria Falls

The handler and no more than two guests on each animal then head off through the riverine bush, crossing the river in shallow water to get onto islands.
Halfway through the ride guests will dismount and interact with the elephants on the ground giving the guides an opportunity to make an interesting an informative explanation about the African Elephant and their relationship with man.

Fishing
The Zambezi is famous for one of the great freshwater game fish – The Tigerfish. Powerful, swift predators Tigerfish are a thrill to catch and require a great deal of skill. A good river specimen can weigh over 15 lbs. Bream, or Tilapia, also live in large numbers in the river and although they don’t fight quite as aggressively as the Tiger a good 5 lb fish will quickly snap light tackle given half the chance. Spinners and lures are the most common method of catching these fish although using light tackle, a fly and a fly-rod is becoming very popular and brings an extra dimension to a very exciting sport.
Pick up at the Day Activity Centre. Drive to one of the launch sites. Board the boat and set off to the fishing grounds. A half-day trip either begins at 06.30 and ends at 13.30 or pick up is at 13.30 and drop off is at 18.30.

Helicopter and Microlight flights
To put the Victoria Falls into perspective, they should be seen from the air. The sheer size and grandeur of the spectacle becomes clear from above. The huge Zambezi River flowing slowly south, hippos and crocodiles clearly visible in the shallow waters. Elephant quietly browsing on bright green islands as the water spreads across the full width of a great rent in the earth before crashing over the lip in a burst of spray then squeezing into a narrow, foaming, blast of water rushing down the zig zag funnel of the gorges.

High wire: Abseiling, Gorge Swing and Flying Fox
There are 3 ways to release adrenaline by going over the edge of a cliff face.
Abseiling – slide 53 meters down the gorge on the end of a rope either facing the cliff face or looking down into the void. The walk out is up quite a steep slope but it is not far.
Flying Fox – is a cable slide across the gorge high above the floor. You can sit on the ‘chair’ or be strapped, face down, looking at the ground far below as you fly across the gorge.
No walk out necessary because you are pulled back.
Gorge Swing – Fling yourself over the edge in a body harness falling some 50 meters and swinging right across the gorge and back until the momentum runs out and you are lowered to the ground to walk out.
You may spend a whole day doing all three activities as often as you wish. Start early in the morning and spend 8 ½ hours dropping over the edge and climbing back up again. Transfers, a cold lunch, iced water and soft drinks are provided. Beers at the end of the day. Pick up at the Day activity Centre. Drive for about 20 minutes to the edge of the gorge.

The Railway Museum and a Tour of Livingstone Town
Livingstone was an important town in Southern Africa during the first days of European settlement and the beginnings of Colonial rule. It is well worth spending a couple of hours touring this historic town with a guide and learning about its past and the colourful people who created it.
For many years Livingstone was the Railway Capital of a vast region and much of its wealth came from the railways. The museum is dedicated to that past and covers its history from the days when the bridge crossed the gorge to the building of the great TamZam railway in the late 1970s.
For train buffs there are a unique collection of ancient locomotives and coaches.

This is where the people of Livingstone come to shop! A guide will accompany you and with the help of some bargaining skills some very interesting and authentic artefacts can be bought. A most unusual and rewarding experience for the clever shopper.

White Water Rafting
The Zambezi River is classified as a high volume, pool-drop river, i.e., there is little exposed rock either in the rapids or the pools below the rapids. The distance between rapids varies from 100 m to 2 km. The gorge itself is approximately 400 feet deep at the put-in point and 750 feet at the take out point and drops about 400 feet over the 24 km covered in the trip.
During low water, guests can do a full or half day trip. At the end of a full day or a half day PM trip, there is a lift out of the gorge.
The tour is inclusive of meals and drinks for the day.
