ADVENTURE ACTIVITIES
The Victoria Falls area is rapidly becoming known
as the ‘Adventure Capital’ of Southern Africa, with
various adrenaline sports, unmatched scenery of
breathtaking proportions, and many other leisure op-
tions for outdoor lovers on offer, there are very few
places in the world that offer such an experience.
Abseiling
The properly equipped, helmeted client is attached
to a main rope and safety rope from their harness.
Then s/he is gently lowered over a platform, from
which the rope is slowly let out as the client scales
their way down the rock face of the gorge. Clients
improve with each attempt and they can go down as
often as time permits.
Upon reaching the base of the gorge the client has
the choice of walking out or being hauled back up
the rock face.
Bungee Jumping
The second highest jump and the highest
commercial bridge jump in the world (111 metres) in
one of the world’s most spectacular settings is quite
the experience.
This is the ultimate adrenaline rush, providing visitors
the opportunities to leap into the gorge free as a
bird, saved only from the swirling water below by the
rebound of the bungee chord, which hurls jumpers
back upwards again at great speeds. The 4 second
free fall, at over 140 km/hr is an indescribable feeling
that has been said to be a life-changing experience,
for all. Five....Four....Three...Two....One...Jump!
No booking is necessary, simply just take a walk
down to the bridge, through the border post between
Zambia and Zimbabwe, visitors actually make the
jump in a somewhat no mans land, between the two
countries, 111m above the Batoka Gorge.
Canoeing
A Canoeing Safari on the Upper Zambezi River, is a
wonderfully relaxing way to enjoy the astonishingly
beautiful scenery that lines the river before it takes
its plunge over the Falls.
