Scenic flights, guided tours, Zambezi cruises, safaris and high-adrenalin experiences — booked and coordinated by a local operator.
The four most-booked activities to do in Victoria Falls are a guided tour of the falls from US$32, a Zambezi sunset cruise from US$52, a scenic helicopter flight from US$173 and a full-day Chobe river safari from US$167. Adrenalin activities — bungee from US$194, bridge slide from US$58 and rafting from US$173 — all run from the Victoria Falls Bridge and the gorges beneath it. Park and government fees are paid separately at check-in.
The falls are 1,708 m wide. From the ground you see sections of it; from the air you see the whole basalt gorge system at once.
12–25 minutes · hotel pickup · Zimbabwe side. The Flight of Angels over the falls, gorges and Zambezi. Government fees and fuel surcharge from US$29 payable at check-in.
12–15 minutes · Livingstone, Zambia. Open-cockpit flight — the most unobstructed view of the falls available. No cameras carried on board. 25–30 minute flights from US$380.
22–25 minutes · adds the Batoka Gorge and the Zambezi National Park game areas to the standard route. A 22 minute option runs from US$271.
A game drive near Victoria Falls runs in the Zambezi National Park, minutes from town. For big herds, the full-day Chobe and Hwange trips are worth the early start.
Full day · Botswana. Morning river cruise and afternoon game drive, with border assistance and lunch. The strongest single day of game viewing in the region. National Parks fees of about US$20 payable at check-in.
3 hours · morning, afternoon or night drive in the Zambezi National Park with a licensed guide. Park fees of US$18 extra. Private reserve drives from US$159, night drive with bush dinner from US$159.
3 hours · on foot with an armed professional guide. Tracking, plants and the small detail you miss from a vehicle. Park fees of US$18 extra.
2 hours · a guided, observation-led encounter with a resident herd. Breakfast with Elephants from US$100, the full encounter from US$148, and an encounter with safari and lunch from US$212.
Full day · Zimbabwe’s largest park, roughly two hours from Victoria Falls. Best done as an overnight if you can spare it.
2–12 nights · combine Victoria Falls with Chobe, Hwange, Mana Pools, Kafue, the Luangwa or the Okavango as one arranged itinerary.
The Zambezi sunset cruise is the single most popular activity in Victoria Falls, and the easiest to combine with anything else — it sails late afternoon and is back for dinner.
2 hours · upstream of the falls. Drinks and snacks included, hippo and elephant on the banks most evenings. Premium and luxury boats from US$100. National Parks fees of US$12 payable at check-in.
3 hours · a full plated dinner on the river, later departure than the sunset cruise. National Parks fees of US$12 payable at check-in.
Full day · Botswana. Game viewing from the water, at eye level with drinking elephant herds. Booked as the Chobe day trip, which pairs the cruise with a game drive.
2–3 hours · all 16 viewpoints on the Zimbabwe side with a guide who knows the geology and the history. Raincoat provided in high water. The US$58 rainforest entry fee is extra.
1.5 hours · a restored tram onto the Victoria Falls Bridge, with drinks and commentary. The sunrise run includes transfers.
1 hour · under the deck of the 1905 bridge with a guide, plus the museum. Passport not required for the tour itself. Bridge toll US$3 each way; transfer US$12 if not walking.
All bridge activities operate from the Victoria Falls Bridge in the neutral zone between the two border posts — you do not need a Zambian visa to reach them.
111 m from the Victoria Falls Bridge. Photo and video packages available on the day. Bridge toll US$3 each way.
A free-fall arc into the gorge, or the high-wire slide across it. Bridge slide from US$58, bridge swing from US$131, gorge swing from US$134. Tandem on all three. Combo tickets with the bungee are the usual choice.
A 425 m foefie slide across the Batoka Gorge — the gentlest of the adrenalin group and the best for photos. Tandem from US$82, the flying fox from US$69, the canopy tour from US$81.
Full or half day · grade V water below the falls. The high-water section usually closes around February–July depending on flow. National Parks fees of US$12 payable at check-in.
30 minutes on the water · high-speed spins in the gorge, with a cable car ride back up. Currently discounted from US$141. National Parks fees of US$12 payable at check-in.
Bungee, swing and slide as one ticket for US$250, or jetboat and rafting together from US$204. Always cheaper than booking each separately — see the full combo list.
Booking activities together is materially cheaper than buying them individually, and lets us sequence them so nothing clashes with a flight or a border crossing. These are the 2026 combination rates.

Yes, and by a worthwhile margin. A sunset cruise and a guided falls tour together are US$75 rather than US$84. Bridge swing, bridge slide and bungee together are US$250 rather than US$280. Rafting with bungee saves US$10; bungee with the jetboat saves US$34. The full package — sunset cruise, early morning helicopter, guided falls tour and the historic bridge tour — is US$326. See every combination priced.
Three full days covers the essentials comfortably: one for the falls tour and a sunset cruise, one for a scenic flight plus an adrenalin or cultural activity, and one for a full-day Chobe trip. Two days is possible but leaves no margin for weather or a rescheduled flight.
Most Victoria Falls activities include transfers from hotels inside the town. Anything on the Zambian side, and the Chobe day trip, includes cross-border road transfers — we confirm pickup times the evening before.
Microlight flights and Devil’s Pool are on the Zambian side and need a Zambian entry. Bungee, bridge swing, bridge slide and the bridge tour all sit in the neutral zone on the bridge itself and do not. The KAZA UniVisa covers both Zimbabwe and Zambia if you are eligible — see the travel guide.
Cruises, game drives, the falls tour and the bridge tour all take children. Adrenalin activities carry minimum age and weight limits set by each operator — tell us ages when you enquire and we will only quote what your group can actually do.
Flights are rescheduled to the next available slot at no charge, or refunded if you are leaving. This is the reason we suggest booking scenic flights early in your stay rather than on your last morning.
Yes for several of them. We run wheelchair-accessible vehicles for transfers and can arrange accessible options for the falls tour, cruises and game drives. Tell us the requirement at enquiry stage so we book the right operators — see accessible transport.
Send your dates and how long you have. We will build a day-by-day activity plan around them, with current prices.
