Join us as we explore the Victoria Falls from all angles - from a sunrise stroll to see the falls on foot to a breath-taking helicopter flight over the falls to facing its challenging rapids on a raft and finally bungee-jumping from the bridge.
Special thanks to Shearwater Victoria Falls who took us on all our adventures.

FLIGHT OF THE ANGELS
There’s no better way to see the scale, magnificence and beauty of the Victoria Falls than from the air. After take-off we head straight for the Falls. After doing a figure of eight over the Falls, we head upstream and fly over the Zambezi National Park.

THE SMOKE WHICH THUNDERS
Scottish explorer David Livingstone may have named the falls after his reigning queen in 1855, but the Kalolo-Lozi people had their own name for it - Mosi-oa-Tunya, “the smoke that thunders.” And you immediately know why after seeing the plumes of mist that hover around the largest waterfall in the world as it roars over the edge.
There is no better way to experience this mist than stepping into the Victoria Falls Park on foot. We visited the falls in November when they are actually at their lowest. If you end up visiting in February to April, you might want to take a raincoat along.

WHITE-WATER RAFTING ON GRADE 5 RAPIDS
No white water compares to the Zambezi. This is the most exciting, electrifying and adrenaline-fuelled rafting experience in the world. While visiting the Falls in November meant that the mist was at its lowest, it also meant the rapids were at their wildest.

BUNGEE JUMPING FROM THE VICTORIA FALLS BRIDGE
With Victoria Falls as the backdrop, the 115-year-old Victoria Falls Bridge as the starting point, and the Zambezi River rushing below, this is where adrenalin junkies come face-to-face with some of the most thrilling and picturesque experiences in the world. 111m of bungee that means Adam has a 4 second, adrenalin-fuelled, free-fall.
