Gorge Swing

 
 


The gorge swing is the newest adventure craze to hit Africa. Standing on the edge of the gorge, you are harnessed in and attached to a rope which is suspended in the middle of the gorge by a cable. Simply step off the edge and free fall 50 meters before being swung out into the middle of the gorge. The jump ends with several pendulum swings before clients are lowered to the ground.

 

Elephant Back Safari 


An elephant back safari is not just a ride on the largest animal in Africa, it’s an unforgettable experience where clients get to interact with the elephants as well as enjoy a ride through wilderness areas and beautiful riverine scenery. Rides also offer great opportunities to see other wildlife such as buffalo, giraffe, zebra and a host of other plains game.


Fishing Trips


Choose between fly fishing, spinning or bait fishing to catch what many sport angler’s rate as the finest freshwater fighting fish in the world – the Tiger fish. Found in both the Upper and Lower Zambezi, the Tiger fish is just one of 75 other species found in the region.


Jet boating


Feel the power of an 8.2 liter Chevy engine in these 6 meter jet boats as you power up the Zambezi River from rapid 25. With the wind in your hair, and the spray in your face the boats speed past the gorge walls with inches to spare before spinning the boat 360 degrees in flat water. At jet boat trip can be combined with a helicopter flight, rafting and riversurfing for the adrenaline junkies!


Bungi Jumping


111 meters of pure adrenaline rush! The bungi jump operates off the Victoria Falls Bridge and has a 100% safety record. Challenge the limits of your fears by jumping off this spectacular bridge, with a backdrop of the amazing Victoria Falls and the Zambezi River flowing below.


Horse Trails


One of the finest ways to experience the African bush is on horseback. A range of trips are available from half day novice rides, to multi day adventures for experience riders. All rides are led by experienced riders/guides and take you into the heart of the African bush to view wildlife and the dramatic scenery.


Microlight Flights


Flying over Victoria Falls and the Zambezi River in the completely open cockpit of a microlight has to be the best way to view the falls. Your pilot will take you low over the river giving you the chance to see wildlife, proceeding until it suddenly drops away into the gorge at Victoria Falls. The views are spectacular and the photo opportunities great!
