Adventure in Zimbabwe

Victoria Falls is the adventure capital of Southern Africa. The 111-metre bungee jump from the Victoria Falls Bridge is one of the world's most famous jumps. White-water rafting on the Zambezi below the falls runs through Grade 5 rapids in the Batoka Gorge - widely considered among the best commercial rafting runs on the planet. Gorge swinging, abseiling down the gorge walls, zip-lining across the canyon, and microlight flights over the falls round out the options.

Beyond Victoria Falls, adventure activities include canoe safaris on the Zambezi through Mana Pools, tiger fishing on Lake Kariba, horseback safaris in Hwange, and rock climbing at Chimanimani. The adventure sector is well-established and safety standards are generally high, particularly for the Victoria Falls operators who have decades of experience.
