Day 14: Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe

Today you cross the border into the town of Victoria Falls. 1700 metres wide and around 100 metres high, the Victoria Falls is one of the most memorable sights on your African safari. A couple of days are spent here to enable you to experience the sights and the many activities available.

All year round, flights can be taken which give you a panoramic view of the Falls, Batoka Gorge and the islands above the Falls. Flights can be taken in fixed wing planes, micro lights or helicopters during this Victoria Falls tour. Back on the ground, the Falls can be seen from the Victoria Falls Park. All offer fantastic photographic opportunities. Breakfast is included.

White water rafting in the Batoka Gorge is considered to be world class. Besides the excitement of the grade 5 rapids, there are the 'floats' where there is time to admire the scenic cliffs and occasional wildlife on the riverbanks. Bungi jumping enthusiasts can take the plunge from the Zambezi Bridge, which connects Zambia and Zimbabwe.

The leap into the Batoka Gorge is one of the latest activities at Victoria Falls and is certainly not for the faint-hearted. Other optional activities around Victoria Falls include day trips into the Zambezi National Park, horse riding safaris, a visit to the Crocodile Ranch, Snake Park, golf at the Elephant Hills Hotel, parachuting, the Falls Craft Village.

Days 15 & 16: Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe
