Victoria Falls, the world’s most spectacular waterfall and one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, has something for everyone. From a walking safari to bungee jumping, there are many different activities that you can do at Victoria Falls.
Go on a Walking Safari
A walking safari is the best way to see the wildlife. You can get closer to animals than on a jeep safari, and you’ll also be able to walk on your own or with a guide. The best time of day is early morning or late afternoon when fewer people are around, and more animals are in their natural habitat.
The following are some of the most common animals you’ll see on this type of safari:
- Lion Cubs (5-7 months old)
- Buffaloes (5-6 months old)
- Zebras (4 years old)
Bungee Jump
Bungee jumping is a thrilling activity that allows you to see Victoria Falls from a different perspective. You’ll jump off the side of a bridge and into the Zambezi River below, allowing you to experience what it’s like to fall from such great heights!
This activity can be more than just fun—it’s an opportunity to educate about nature and human interaction with these rivers. In addition, there are often guides on site which will provide information about animals living near or around your platform before they allow you onto theirs (if they do).
Do Jetboat the mighty Zambezi River
Jetboating is a great way to see the Zambezi River. You can take a jetboat that uses a jet engine to propel it through the water and up to 80km/h, which is fast!
However, you must be careful not to go over 40km/h because they are not allowed above that speed limit. The main reason why people do this activity is that it’s fun; you get to see wildlife on land or in the water while traveling through some fantastic areas with lots of green vegetation that surrounds you as well as manufactured attractions like hotels and restaurants along each side of Victoria Falls’ perimeter roadways (the city itself).
Microlight flight over Victoria Falls
A microlight flight is a small aircraft that a single person can pilot. The flight takes you over Victoria Falls and upriver to Livingstone Island. It lasts around 15 minutes, so don’t forget your camera!
Canoeing with crocodiles and hippos in Zambezi National Park
If you’re looking for an activity that will give your trip a unique experience, canoeing with animals is the way to go. This can be done at Victoria Falls Safari Camp, where they offer an eco-friendly way of seeing wildlife up close. Your tour guide will take you out on the water in a small canoe as he guides you around hippos, crocodiles, and other animals like elephants and lions!
Sunset Cruise with Dinner in the Zambezi National Park
- Sunset Cruise with Dinner in the Zambezi National Park
- A unique experience, this cruise will take you along the river and into Victoria Falls. With dinner on board, a stunning view of the Falls as they come into view at sunset, and an optional helicopter flight over Victoria Falls afterward (it’s worth it), this is one unforgettable activity in Zimbabwe.
Tour of Livingstone Island Above the Falls
Livingstone Island is the second largest island in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. It can be reached by boat or bus from Victoria Falls town.
You can get to Livingstone Island in two ways: one is by taking a 45-minute boat ride across the Zambezi River. At the same time, the other option involves changing buses at Bulawayo and traveling for about an hour and a half on public transportation until you reach Livingstone Island (this route takes longer).
Once you arrive at Livingstone Island and have had your fill of sightseeing, it’s time for dinner! There are two restaurants on this island: restaurant #1 has both indoor seating options and outdoor tables; restaurant #2 offers only indoor seating but no dining facilities outside its walls (and thus cannot accommodate large groups).
Both restaurants serve similar food but differ slightly in price depending on what type of accommodation package you purchase. Elephants roam freely around feeding areas near riverside paths every morning before sunrise begins so they wouldn’t wander too far away from campgrounds where people live overnight camping trips before returning home after daybreak ends around noon time respectively depending upon which direction travelers choose when traveling towards Victoria Falls city center again tomorrow evening time tomorrow afternoon evening hours later tonight after dark.
Elephant Back Safaris, riding through Mosi Oa Tunya National Park to the Zambezi River
Elephants are trained by their owners to be gentle and safe. They are not harmed or mistreated in any way. The elephants are fed well and treated well by their owners, who are committed to keeping them healthy and happy for years to come.
The best way to see wildlife is on an elephant back safari! Elephants were initially domesticated thousands of years ago in India as working animals for transportation and pulling heavy loads (like plows). As with all animals that have been domesticated over time, they have learned how much they like food—and they love elephant rides too.
Visit a traditional African village, Mukuni Village.
Mukuni village is located on the banks of the Zambezi river, and it’s a great place to learn about Zambia’s traditional culture. Here you can watch traditional dances, listen to traditional music and even try traditional food. In addition, many vendors sell wares in this village market area.
- Traditional dance performances will take place every evening from 6 pm until 8 pm at the main square in town (near where you’ll find your hotel). There are two different types of performances: cultural dances from different tribes that have lived in this area for generations (such as the Lunda) or modern-day dances created by members of these tribes and outsiders who’ve come here for tourism purposes.You may also want
