Top 10 Things to Do in Victoria Falls

Introduction

Victoria Falls offers an exciting range of experiences for visitors, whether you are planning a short getaway or a longer Southern African holiday. The destination combines spectacular scenery, adventure activities, wildlife and cultural experiences.

Here are ten experiences to consider when planning your trip.

2. Enjoy a Helicopter Flight

Relax on the river while enjoying the changing evening light. Depending on the operator, refreshments and snacks may be included.

4. Visit Chobe National Park

Travel to Botswana for a wildlife excursion featuring a game drive and, on suitable packages, a Chobe River cruise.

5. Explore Hwange National Park

Extend your trip with a safari in one of Zimbabwe’s best-known wildlife destinations.

6. Experience an African Cultural Dinner

Enjoy traditional-inspired cuisine and cultural entertainment at a local restaurant offering an African dining experience.

8. Explore the Zambian Side of Victoria Falls

Cross into Zambia for a different perspective of the Falls. Bring the required travel documents and check the applicable entry requirements.

9. Try an Adventure Activity

Depending on your interests, available activities may include white-water rafting, ziplining and other guided adventure experiences. Check age restrictions, seasonal operating conditions and safety requirements before booking.

How Many Activities Can You Fit into One Trip?

For a short stay, prioritise the experiences that matter most to you. A three-day itinerary could combine a guided Falls tour, a sunset cruise and a Chobe day trip. A longer visit allows more time for adventure activities, relaxation and an overnight safari.

Some activities depend on river levels, weather and operator schedules, so it is best to confirm availability in advance.
