The breathtaking waterfall is, without a doubt, the must-see attraction for any tourist in the area. At its source, the powerful Zambezi River builds its momentum before crashing down a roughly two-kilometer-wide plateau and into a succession of spectacular gorges 100 meters below. The greatest times to visit the woodlands and see this African sight are first thing in the morning and late in the afternoon, when the light is lower. Visiting the Falls is a sensory feast, what with the dazzling rainbows, clouds of dense spray, and the rumbling force of the water.
Perched precariously on the brink of Victoria Falls, Livingstone Island is commonly believed to have been the spot where David Livingstone laid eyes on the majestic waterfall—though, one can only speculate, the cacophony might have warned him in advance. Accompany knowledgeable guides on a pilgrimage to the island, much as David did, and then enjoy a sumptuous brunch or high tea afterward. Daredevils can even swim into Devil’s Pool, a rock pool for the swim of a life time!
Please be aware that this activity is only available from the Zambian side of Victoria Falls and is only offered during the low-water months (August to January).
Imagine for a moment the geographical obstacles that Cecil John Rhodes foresaw on his journey from the Cape to Cairo in his plans for a railway. Step down onto the catwalks beneath the Victoria Falls Bridge and think about the engineering marvels that went into its construction at the turn of the century. Lighthearted yet informative, the guides’ tongue-in-cheek style will take you through the fascinating history of this extraordinary building.
Located in the middle of the lively Chinotimba township, not far from the center of Victoria Falls town, Dusty Road provides an exciting eating experience that is unmatched. Dine on a delectable array of flavors created with products acquired from the area while you bask in the warm glow of lanterns and quaint tables.
There is nothing more humbling than navigating Grade V rapids below the falls with nothing more than a plastic oar and a lifejacket, as you face the immense might of the river. At times, the rapids will be exhilarating as the river winds its way through hairpin bends and jaw-dropping drops; other times, there will be peaceful sections where you can relax and take in the scenery, which includes majestic gorges and lush vegetation. Although water levels determine the season, white water rafting is assured only in August and September.
Victoria Falls is a veritable treasure trove of exhilarating activities for thrill seekers, earning it the title of Africa’s adventure capital. One of the highest bungee jumps in the world is off the famous Victoria Falls Bridge. For a thrilling zero-gravity adventure, try the gorge swing, which will pendulum you out over Batoka Gorge. The foefie slide, or zipline, takes daring riders at speeds of over 100 km/h over the canyon, while the flying fox offers a more leisurely (but still dizzying) alternative.
With the help of a knowledgeable guide, pedal through the Batoka Gorge, pausing sometimes to admire the breathtaking scenery, until you reach the Big Tree, a gigantic baobab tree that is thought to be 3,500 years old, and pedal over the Victoria Falls Bridge.
If you’re looking for a great place to see the Big 5, among other animals, consider visiting one of Zimbabwe’s national parks: Zambezi, Mosi-oa-Tunya, or Victoria Falls Private Game Reserve. Get in an open four-wheel drive vehicle and try to find one of the rare black rhinos that live in the area.
