Gorge swing
The Zimbabwe Gorge Swing takes that childhood memory of swinging on a swing set to a whole ne level! How does plummeting to the bottom of Batoka Gorge sound? Have no fear, a harness is included ;)! Leap off the platform into the open air and free fall for 70 metres before swinging out into the middle of the gorge. This is a must-do for anyone looking to conquer their fear of heights!

Flight of the angels
When David Livingstone first saw the Victoria Falls back in 1855, he was so astonished and in awe and said that it was a “scene so lovely, it must have been gazed upon by angels in their flight.” With the Flight of Angels, travellers can gaze upon the thundering Victoria Falls from the air as the Zambezi river gushes into a series of gorges down below that it perfect for White River Rafting!

White river rafting
The Zambezi River is known to offer the best white water rafting in the world as the river drops 100 metres over the Victoria Falls creating rapids of epic proportions. These raging rapids offer adventure and excitement like no other as they beacon with their coiling waves! If you’re worried that the Zambezi is one long frothing rapid, fear not. The rapids are distances from each other with smooth, calm waters in between, allowing travellers to observe and drink in this exquisite slice of earth.

Devil’s pool
Swim and lounge at the edge of the Victoria Falls in a little rock pool known as the Devil’s Pool. This pool is the ultimate infinity pool as travellers are able to get a close-up view with the sheer drop off the side of the Falls. All it takes to reach the Devil’s Pool is an adrenalin-pumping walk and swim in the Zambezi. A true test of bravery!
