Safari adventures at the Victoria Falls

The Victoria Falls offers a unique and unforgettable tour experience for the discerning visitor. They are a number of thrilling activities that the visitors can engage in.

Bungee Jumping

















Bungee Jumping at the Victoria Falls is for the adrenalin junkies! The jump is made from the bridge that connects Zimbabwe and Zambia. It is actually a 110m freefall jump from the Victoria Falls Bridge headlong towards the rushing waters of the mighty Zambezi River with Vic Falls in the background. 

The safety record is impeccable and reports indicate that over 50 000 have made the dive.

This is indeed a jump that will remain etched in the memories of those bold enough to try it!

White Water Rafting


















Prepare to get wet and wild on the mighty Zambezi River during an adrenaline-filled day at Victoria Falls. Enjoy a whitewater rafting trip in the one of the best spots in the world, and admire the scenery afterward as you hike through the Zimbabwe gorge.
What to Expect

Feel the rush of a lifetime as you take part in whitewater rafting along the Zambezi River in Victoria Falls. On this full-day excursion, your heart will race as you are exposed to thrills unlike any other. Take this exciting ride down 14 rapids in a single day on what is known by many as the best stretch of whitewater in the world.


This trip is not taken at the height of the season, when rapids are most dangerous, but it still can be invigorating. Enjoy a scenic trip through the gorge and along the river, both of which are breathtakingly beautiful following the rainy season. But pay attention as the whirlpools can pose a few unexpected surprises for the unwary.

The Flight of Angels

















A helicopter flight, popularly known as the Flight of Angels, offers the best views to be had of the mighty Victoria Falls and stunning scenery surrounding the Smoke that Thunders (Mosi-oa-Tunya).


Called “The Flight of Angels” after David Livingstone's first description of the waterfall as a scene so lovely that it must have been "gazed upon by angels in their flight". This thrilling activity gives you a bird’s eye view of the largest sheet of falling water in the world. Stare into the 108-meter deep chasm and get perspective on this huge natural wonder. Helicopter flights can also take you upstream to do some game viewing from this excellent aerial vantage point.

Swimming in the Devil's Pool

This is not for the fainted hearted but to those brave enough to do it, the experience is simply out of this world!

The Devil's Pool is a pool right on the edge of the waterfall 


You can take a guided trip to Devil's Pool from the Zambia side of Vic Falls. This is one of the best spots for marvelling at Vic Falls and splashing in the pool is a really fun and exhilarating way to admire the natural wonder.




The Devil's Pool activity is only done during the dry season (from about September to December) and/or when water levels are low enough to be safe for swimming. You take a boat to Livingstone Island above the falls and from there you walk over rocks and swim to get to Devil's Pool. 

Once at the pool on the precipice you need to jump in from the rocks above it. The guides help keep you safe and can hold onto your legs as you lie over the rocky wall on the edge, peering into the misty gorge below. The drop from the pool is over 100 metres, so this isn't for the faint-hearted!
