This activity is only possible on the Zambian side

Enjoy the thrill of speeding over rapids, then slowing down for a leisurely birding and river wildlife safari around the islands on the Early Morning, Lunch or Sunset Safari.
The boats head upstream in the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, exploring the many Zambezi islands and channels. Hippos and crocodile can be spotted throughout the year and in the winter months there is the exciting possibility of watching elephants in the river crossing to the islands.
Stretch your legs and enjoy a refreshment stop on one of the Zambezi River islands. A picnic is provided on our Lunch Safari and snacks are served on the Early Morning and Sunset Safaris.

BUNGEE JUMP
The original, the one and only, the must do, the ultimate thrill! 4 seconds of freefall, 111m of Pure Adrenalin! Off the famous Victoria Falls Bridge, with a spectacular backdrop of the majestic Victoria Falls, move to the edge, arms out and 5-4-3-2-1- BUNGEE leaving yourself plummeting towards the rumbling waters of the rapids of the Zambezi River and let the adrenaline flow. This bungee, flanked by stunning Victoria Falls, is the most spectacular in the world.
For the more experienced, speak to your Jump Master and make it more adventurous by doing an Ankle-tied Back-flip or Star Elevator... Only Bungee in Victoria Falls!
BRIDGE SLIDE
The mildest of the adrenaline bridge activities, the Bridge Slide is the least terrifying and can be done by any sane person from 6 years old and above. Don't get it twisted - there is a bit of the thrill from zipping across the gorge seeing the Zambezi River below, but unlike the other heart pumping activities, you might find yourself wanting to go again.
After checking in and getting your harnesses strapped in, you take a short walk downstream to the launch site where the slide master will be waiting for you. He will strap you and your harness onto the rig and make sure that everything is nice and secure. Lift your legs and go! You will zip across from the Zambian side of the gorge and stop close to the bridge. It only takes seconds, but it is etched onto your memory.
Gorge Swing
Leave your stomach behind! This is only for the totally insane. Your harness is attached to a rope, the rope is attached to the middle of a cable that runs across the full width of the gorge.
Once you are all set, you stand on a platform on the edge of a sheer 120m cliff, say a quick prayer and jump off - How crazy is that, you jump off and free fall for about 70m straight towards the rocks and river below, then as the rope becomes taught you will start to arc and thankfully swing away from the rocks you were hurtling towards fractions of a seconds ago.
