Microlight Flight over Victoria Falls
For those seeking a different type of flying adventure, the spray of the Falls’ can be felt while soaring over its splendour in a microlight flight which flies above the Victoria Falls and continues upstream over Long Island, Palm Island, Kakunka and Kandahar Islands and finally onto the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park for a genuine bird’s eye view of the awesome spectacle.
Helicopter Flight Through the Batoka Gorge
Enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime helicopter ride and watch from above as the mighty Zambezi River carves its way through the steep cliffs of the Batoka Gorge and transforms from a gentle and serene river into the rampant Victoria Falls that descend 120 m to the floor of the valley.
White-water Rafting on the Zambezi River
You can get up close and personal with the might of the Zambezi with a thrilling white-water rafting experience on the Zambian side of the Falls, steering your way through the powerful rapids under the supervision of experienced river guides.
Swimming Below Victoria Falls
Once you’re done marvelling at the Falls from above, it’s time to go for a swim in the rock pools below the Victoria Falls. With the massive basaltic rock surrounding you, and the shower of water gushing down, this is a truly remarkable experience.
Swimming at Devil’s Pool
A daring highlight of visiting Victoria Falls is swimming in Devil’s Pool. This uniquely located plunge pool resides right on the edge of the Falls, where the thundering cascade plummets 350 ft, providing a pulse-racing dip for those brave enough to venture into the Zambezi River. The pool is also special it can only be visited between mid-August and mid-January, before the summer rains swell the river.
