Sundowner Cruise on the Zambezi River
Very few people travel to Victoria Falls without taking at least the famous sundowner cruise down the Zambezi River. What better way to view wildlife, including numerous bird species, than drifting slowly down a side channel, the silence broken only by bird calls. From the boat, it is possible to see herds of mighty elephant, giraffe, hippo and other wild animals returning to the Chobe River to quench their thirst.

Day tips to Victoria Falls:
White Water Rafting - Victoria Falls
This is the wildest white water on the planet and the actual experience surpasses this analogy. White Water Rafting on the Zambezi River below the Victoria Falls has been classified by the British Canoe Union as Grade 5 - "extremely difficult, long and violent rapids, steep gradients, big drops and pressure areas". The Zambezi River is classified as a high volume; pool-drop river as there is little exposed rock either in the rapid or the pools below the rapids.

Bungee Jumping at Victoria Falls
Experience a pure adrenaline rush as you face one of Africa’s top tourist attractions. Scream your lungs out as you plummet 111 metes down into the Batoka gorge. The bungee jump operates off the Victoria Falls Bridge. With over 50,000 people having committed themselves to the thrill of jumping off of this bridge, there is still a 100% safety record. Challenge the limits of the mind by leaping off of this impressive bridge.
