Zimbabwe - Victoria Falls Day Tours & Adventure Activities
Print | Email

Spectacular Victoria Falls... and we are not just talking about The Falls themselves. The town of Victoria Falls grew because of tourism to The Falls... and they have perfected their offering. Victoria Falls has got to be 'the' adventure capital of Africa - white water rafting on some of the most thrilling rapids (grade 4 and 5), will certainly deliver its dose of adrenaline, you can also try micro light flips over The Falls, elephant back safaris. bungi jumping (270 metres) and river boarding... as well as the more gentler pursuits from river safaris to view Africa's wildlife, to sunset cruises or lunch on Livingstone's Island, as well as a cultural feast and extravaganza at 'The Boma', and of course... a tour of the mighty Victoria Falls themselves.

Victoria Falls is all about exhilaration, not just the white-knuckle kind, but also the exhilaration of unique experiences and the beauty of a true African wilderness.

See our 'Dine Around Victoria Falls' concept, it's simple, affordable & flexible:
Due to increasing costs of meals in Victoria Falls and the complexity of the currency situation, Thompsons Africa has put together a unique dining concept. After negotiations with various restaurants in Victoria Falls, you can now purchase a pre-paid dining voucher for use whilst on holiday at The Falls.
