Activity Adventures
Book Zambezi white water rafting and other Zambezi River activities now.
As the Zambezi River is our home turf, naturally we have a great number of activities to offer along the course of the river.
Tiger fishing is on a catch and release system and is a great experience for all to enjoy but only the brave will attemp the bunji jump off the Victoria Falls bridge or the gorge swing across the river; 1000's of guests raft the gorge beneath the Falls.
Devil's Pool on the very edge of the Falls is possible only during dry season - click here to see a video on You Tube.
Africa is outdoor land, rivalled only by New Zealand and the USA in variety of activities. Ballooning across the Serengeti or at dawn above the Sossusvlei dunes is a lifetime experience. Dune boarding and quad biking in Nambia can be experienced by any age group while a 7 day cycling trip from the Nyika Plateau to Lake Malawi is possibly better left to the more adventurous type!
