Gorge activities in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe

​

Offers  thrilling and adventurous experiences set against the backdrop of the spectacular Zambezi River gorge. Here are some of the most popular gorge activities you can enjoy:

​

1. Gorge Swing: One of the most exhilarating activities, the gorge swing involves jumping off a platform and free-falling 70 meters before swinging across the gorge in a massive arc. It's a heart-pounding experience that provides stunning views of the canyon below.

2. Zip Lining: Participants can zip across the gorge on a high-speed line, enjoying a bird's-eye view of the dramatic scenery. This activity is less intense than the gorge swing but still provides an adrenaline rush and fantastic views.

3. Flying Fox: The flying fox is a hands-free zip line where you lie flat and "fly" over the gorge like a superhero. This activity allows you to appreciate the views in a more relaxed position while still getting an adrenaline kick.

4. Abseiling/Rappelling: This involves descending the gorge cliff face using a rope and harness. Abseiling down the steep cliffs of the Batoka Gorge provides an exciting challenge and unique perspectives of the surrounding landscape.

5. White-Water Rafting: Though not strictly a gorge activity, white-water rafting on the Zambezi River often includes navigating through the gorge's turbulent rapids. It's a thrilling adventure suitable for adrenaline junkies and offers a close-up experience with the powerful river currents.

6. Bridge Swing: Similar to the gorge swing but starting from the iconic Victoria Falls Bridge, this activity involves leaping off the bridge and swinging out over the gorge. It's an intense and unforgettable experience with the added thrill of being on a historic structure.

7. Bridge Slide: A more leisurely activity, the bridge slide lets you zip from the Zambia side of the Victoria Falls Bridge to the Zimbabwe side, offering fantastic views of the falls and the gorge. It's a great way to enjoy the scenery without the intensity of the other activities.

8. Canopy Tours: This activity involves navigating a series of rope bridges, walkways, and zip lines through the trees and across the gorge. It's a fun way to explore the area from above and enjoy the lush surroundings.
