Victoria Falls this adventure season

DARE TO ENTER THE DEVIL'S POOL?
Only accessible when waters are low (closed April-July) and based just a short boat ride away on Livingstone Island sits the somewhat over-looked Devils Pool. Guests can swim in the natural rock pool and have their photo taken sitting amongst the running water that plunges to a 103m drop, the ultimate infinity pool and an extremely unique experience. Guests can choose to visit the island for breakfast, lunch and high tea with good quality food, refreshments and a guided walk included. Only 16 people at a time are allowed per time slot so guests can enjoy a less crowded experience. All ages welcome.

THE VIEW FROM ABOVE IS SPECTACULAR WHATEVER THE WEATHER

An activity to tick off the bucket list any time of the year is to view the Falls from a completely unique perspective, above, via helicopter or microlight. It offers a fascinating opportunity to see how the Falls are formed from both the Zambia and Zimbabwe side without having to cross the border. The ‘short’ 15 minute flight circuits over The Falls for a classic birds-eye view whereas the ‘long’ 30 minute flight travels to the gorge below The Falls, skimming above the rapids of the Zambezi River and finishes flying over the Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park with the possibility of spotting some of Zambia’s big game. All ages welcome.

Microlight flights are definitely for the more adventurous but also offer guests a more private experience soaring over the Falls, with just themselves and their trusted pilot. Guests can embark on both short and long flights as per helicopter flights but long flights skip swooping into the gorge and instead fly overhead to uncover utterly breathtaking views. It’s open to guests as young as 7 years old so is also an option for brave families!

YEAR ROUND ADRENALINE
Being the adventure capital of Zambia, there’s plenty of activities to get your blood pumping whilst admiring the spectacular surrounding landscape. Starting at the Batoka gorges, just 3km from the Falls, guests can abseil, swing and zipline their way through to the iconic Victoria Falls Bridge - where the real adrenaline kicks in. The bridge offers 111 metres of pure adrenaline and marks the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, making it one of the most unique bungee jumps in the world, literally diving from one country to the other. The bridge adventure base also offers ziplining and a tandem gorge swing. Batoka gorge activities are available for those as young as 7 years old whereas bridge activities suit 14 years+ with the exception of ziplining where the minimum age is 6.
