Helicopter Flights Over The Falls

Particularly for those who wish to take photographs to keep forever, the helicopter ‘Flights of Angels’ is a must for those who want to see The Falls from the best position possible – right over the gorge that it plunges into!

Microlight Flight Over The Falls

For the same awe-inspiring perspective of the Falls with more of a thrill, try microlighting. A camera fixed to the wing will take photographs for you for just the cost of a film.

White Water Rafting

This affords possibly the most adrenalin, fun-filled day you will ever have! No persons under 15 are allowed to raft and although no particular level of fitness is required, you are warned about the 750 foot climb out of the gorge. Persons with any medical or physical problems must make these known to us before we make the booking.

River Boarding

Who needs a boat? Get into the water for a thrilling day of riding the rapids from a boogie board!

Jet Boating

45 minutes on an extreme boat ride around rapids 23 to 26. Why not combine if with a rafting trip and a helicopter flight?

Livingstone Island excursions

David Livingstone first viewed the Falls from this island on the lip of the worlds widest waterfall and later remarked that scenes so lovely must have been gazed upon in their flight. He wasn’t kidding either but can you imagine what he would have said if he had swum in the Devil’s Pool right on the edge of the Falls themselves!

Canoeing Safaris

Canoeing the Upper Zambezi above The Falls is a lovely way to spend a day. It will give you a bit of exercise and the chance to paddle quietly past some game. Take a hat and plenty of sunscreen.

Bungi Jumping

Not for the faint hearted, this experience involves diving off the 111 metre high Victoria Falls Bridge. Although seemingly horrifying, Victoria Falls Bungi has an excellent safety record and although we have had some guest say they will never do it again – no-one has ever regretted it. (Please note that passports are required for Bungi Jumping.)

Abseil/Gorge Swing/High Wire

A full day at the gorge gives the unique opportunity to participate in any of these three activities as often as you like. (Please note that passports are required for this activity.)

Historical Tour of the Victoria Falls Bridge

When it was built in 1905 the Victoria Falls Bridge was the highest in the world. A breath taking tour under the structure with one of Zambia’s most enthusiastic guides will have you amazed as to how the feat of engineering was achieved.

Horse Trails

Ride through farmlands in Zambia about 12km from here. The trails are not on the water’s edge so the chance of seeing game is limited, but it is nevertheless a lovely form of transport.

Elephant Back Safari

Meet up with the largest land mammal at a nearby lodge and let him walk you through the African bush. An amazing 2.5 hour experience for anyone who ever wanted to be up close with one of these magnificent gentle giants.

The Railway Museum

This will give you an excellent understanding of both the development of the railways and the importance of the railways to the growth of present day Zambia. The Livingstone Museum – The Spanish/American inspired building was erected in 1951 and is the National Museum of Zambia.

Tour of Crocodile Farm

On the way to the Falls is the Gwembi Castle (a folly) Crocodile farm. The 45 minute tour includes an interesting talk on the habits of these reptiles that have not changed much of the past million years.

Tour of Livingstone Town and the Jewish Tour

The town of Livingstone has many buildings of architectural significance and some time ago the town was called the prettiest in Africa.

Chobe Day Trip

See four countries in one day (there is only one other place in the world that you can do this) on a trip to the beautiful Chobe Game Park in Botswana, Cross the Zambezi at the point where Zimbabwe, Zambia, Namibia and Botswana meet. The transfer to Chobe straight into a safari cruise boat down the Chobe River, which is renowned for its elephants. An al fresco lunch is provided after which you will take a 4x4 game drive to see more of the park. (Please note that passports are required for this activity.)
