Victoria Falls is one of the most magnificent places on the planet. Everyone should visit there at least once in their lifetime, so make sure you book into a world famous Victoria Falls Hotel in the area. With that said, if you plan on going to the Falls, make sure you do these top five Victoria Falls activities.
Bungee Jumping
Are you the type who loves adventure and you like getting your adrenaline going? If so, then you’ll want to go bungee jumping at Victoria Falls. This is something you will not soon forget and it might be the highlight of your entire trip to Victoria Falls.
This jump is over 360-feet high, so be prepared to conquer your fear of heights, if you have one. As you plunge to the bottom, you will be treated to the surrounding scenery, including the Zambezi River. It’s worth pointing out this bungee jump is one of the highest jumps in the world, but don’t worry because it is very safe and over 40,000 people have completed the jump.
White River Rafting
There a number of places to do white river rafting in Victoria Falls, but one of the best is the Zambezi River, which is quite difficult. In fact, it’s very difficult and it is long, and the rapids can be violent at times. There’s also a number of huge drops, as well as pressure areas.
You can do a full day of white river rafting, but make sure to pack a lunch if you do. If you don’t want to do it the entire day, then book a half-day white rafting trip. However, water levels are quite low between the months of July and February, so consider going there. Depending on how the rainfall is, you won’t be able to do white river rafting between April and May.
Lion Encounter
If you don’t really want to head out onto the river or jump off a bridge, then maybe encountering a lion is more your cup of tea. This is where you’ll be able to see lions walk around and you will have the chance to spot several lions at once. Not only that, but you’ll learn a lot about the different lions within the area.
Helicopter Flights
It’s one thing to be able to view Victoria Falls from the bottom or the surrounding area, but it’s a whole other thing when you can see it from above. There’s a number of companies that offer helicopter rides above the Falls, which means you’ll be able to see the area in a unique way. Make sure you bring your camera because you will want to snap as many photos from above as possible.
Devil’s Pool
Devil’s Pool is unique and it is a great way to cool off on a hot day, as well as look over the edge to take in the surrounding scenery. You literally can look over the edge of the Falls. You’ll want to book a guided tour to the pool, and when you get up to the pool, you can jump right into it. Don’t worry about falling off the edge, because it’s nearly impossible, unless you were to jump over it, but you’ll be just fine if you go to the edge and look over the edge.
The next time you go to Victoria Falls, make sure you do a bit of bungee jumping and white river rafting. Alternatively, you can check out lions or take a helicopter ride above Victoria Falls. Don’t forget about taking a dip in Devil’s Pool to look over the edge of the Falls. After you do those activities, go on and do the many other activities in the area.
