Victoria Falls Activities

Victoria falls is the adventure capital of Africa if not the world.

Adrenaline junkies will love it - bungee jumping, white water rafting, abseil, tiger fishing, game viewing, horse safaris and even elephant rides the list is almost endless

Most activities can be done from either side of the Zambezi river, Livingstone in Zambia or Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe.

The prices do differ, border crossings and visas can be a problem and expensive, so it is wiser to land and stay on the same side as your preferred activities
