Chasing Thrills—5 Adrenaline Pumping Adventures at Victoria Falls You Shouldn't Miss

Mosi-oa-Tunya or 'Smoke that Thunders' is the local name for the mighty Victoria Falls, which, apart from being a Natural Wonder of the World, is popular for adventure sports. Here's a list of adrenaline-pumping adventures to enjoy at Victoria Falls, from gorge swinging to bungee jumping.

1

Savour the Thrills of White Water Rafting

Loads of wet and wild adventures are on offer with white water rafting on the Zambezi River, boasting level four and five grade rapids for you to enjoy. Also the river that flows through the Batoka Gorge is deemed one of the safest for white water rafting due to its deep water and lack of rocks jutting out. The feeling of being hurled along the churning rapids, deep in the belly of the 120 metre deep gorge is perfect if you are an adrenaline junky. Also, the chances of falling in the river and having to swim the rest of the way are a thrill most seek. You can ask your hotel in Zimbabwe about reputable tours conducted by experienced and well-trained guides to ensure maximum safety levels are met.

Enjoy the Thrills of Bungee Jumping at Victoria Falls

While bungee jumping is a hair-raising adventure on its own, indulging in the daredevil act against a backdrop of thundering water takes the sport to a whole new level for thrill seekers. Adding to the adventure is the fact that the 111-metre jump is off the iconic Victoria Falls Bridge. So, what you get to experience is an adventure of a lifetime as you jump into the swirling and gushing waters of the spectacular Zambezi River. After your adventure, you can relax with some good food at nearby luxury hotels in Zimbabwe, which include properties like Anantara Stanley & Livingstone Victoria Falls Hotel.

Fly Over Victoria Falls

This one is more docile than other adventures and gives you a birds-eye view of the amazing cascades. It's the ideal adventure for stunning views of the water crashing down to the Zambezi and enjoying the picturesque wilderness that covers both Zimbabwe and Zambia. Make sure to keep your eyes peeled for sights of big game like elephants.

Zip Line and Fly Across the Gorge

Here's a more adventurous take on flying over the falls, river, and gorge; take on a zip line adventure and zoom over the forest cover of the Batoka Gorge as the wind whistles in your ears and the mighty Victoria Falls thunder in the distance. It's a great way to set your mind and body free as you enjoy the adrenaline boost that comes with the feeling of flying.

Step Up the Adventure With a Gorge Swing

What's that, you wonder? Well, it's the next level of daredevil, if bungee jumping is not enough of an adventure for you. Gorge swinging differs because you will not be swinging from your feet, as in bungee jumping. Instead, you are harnessed from your upper body, after which you free fall 70 metres, towards the raging Zambezi before swinging pendulum style. Talk about an epic swing ride! Of course, your luxury suite at the best hotels Victoria Falls has to offer will be waiting for you to relax in style at the end of the day.
