...explore Victoria Falls
Victoria Falls is one of the most spectacular natural wonders of the world - hence its almost universal appeal to travellers. The mighty Zambezi flows broad and placid to the brink of a 1700m wide basalt lip before taking a headlong 100 metre plunge into the thunderous, frothy chasm of the gorge below. This is the world's largest sheet of falling water.
Once the river has taken its plunge, things change ...
For those with the courage, the rapids immediately downstream offer some of the most terrifying white water rafting and riverboarding for the novice or those with more experience, anywhere in the world - the Colorado pales by comparison.
Bungi jumpers scream down 111 metres off the Victoria Falls bridge - until recently, the world's highest commercial bungee jump.

Vic Falls is an excellent destination to combine with visiting Chobe National Park which can be done either on a one day visit or for a few days. A first class safari is to spend a few days in Hwange National Park followed by a few days at Victoria Falls. If you're a horse rider, there are excellent horse riding safaris available in Hwange, the Okavango Delta and the Kafue National Park in Zambia, all within easy access from Victoria Falls.
