Visitors can view the Falls from either the Zimbabwe or Zambia side, and day trips from one country to the other are possible so you don't have to feel you are missing out on anything.

Visitors can marvel at the sheer size of the Falls in safety from the opposite banks by following the many different paths along the gorge. In some places the gorge is so narrow you are litereally only 60m away from the cascading water.

For those not scared of heights, the Knife Edge Bridge leads out to an island left isolated in the abyss from where you look directly across to the eastern Cataract and Main Falls or gaze far below to the churning maelstrom of The Boiling Pot where the river turns and heads down dramatic series of gorges.

A 'Flight of Angels' describes any sightseeing trip over the Falls by small aircraft, microlight, helicopter or ultra-light aircraft. This is a fantastic way to fully appreciate the extent and sheer size of the Falls, and trips are normally between 15 and 45 minutes long. 

Because of the small size of the aircraft, guests have the opportunity to sit near a window, and it doesn't really matter which side of the aircraft you sit, because you normally fly along the Falls one way, then turn around and retrace your steps - so everyone gets to see the Falls from their side of the craft.

Not for the faint-hearted, true, but if you fancy swimming close to the edge of the Falls, then you need to make a trip to Devil's Pool, a naturally formed pool accessed via Livingstone Island in Zambia.

Only attempt this when the river flow is at a safe level, however - which is during the months of September and December ! 

There is a natural rock wall just below the water and at the very edge of the Falls that stops anyone from swimming right over the edge and tumbling down into the gorge ... although please...do still be careful!!!

For those who just want to relax and sit back, a river cruise along the Zambezi River is a wonderful way to pass a couple of hours. Take a day cruise, a sunset cruise or a dinner cruise, and as you drift along you may see hippos and elephants on the river banks.

The Zambezi River offers a totally thrilling white water rafting experience. Recognised as having some of the best rapids in the world, the rapids are classified as Grade 4 and 5 - so not for the faint-hearted!

Calm pools of water separate the rapids which are perfect for getting your breath back and admiring the spectacular scenery before you tackle the next one.

Depending on your fitness and adrenalin limit, there is the option of enjoying either a half-day or full day white water rafting trip.

The 111m bungee jump off the Victoria Falls Bridge is for pure adrenelin-seekers. The jump is the 2nd highest commercial jump in the world and is open 365 days a year. 

Choose to throw yourself from the bungee platform solo, or tandem; or do a bridge swing. Digital photographs and videos are taken of each jump and are available for viewing and purchase on site. 

The bungee jump platform is in 'no mans land' between the borders of Zimbabwe and Zambia. so you do need your passport to jump.  You can also do a bridge slide, which starts on the Zambian bank of the gorge and ends in a slow stop on the Victoria Falls bridge.

A jet boat experience is an exhilating experience. The boats can travel up to speeds of 80 km/h in water as shallow as 10 cm, and can turn 360 degrees on a hairpin.

Hold on and enjoy the power and sensation as your driver goes full-throttle and the boat speeds through rapids, rushes close past gorge walls and spins round on the flat water, giving you a sensation of speed and danger few other activities provide.

This is one of the most popular tours in Victoria Falls and definately requires pre-booking.  Sitting on top of your elephant as you travel through the bush of the game-rich Nakavango Estate (just 15 minutes drive from the Victoria Falls), you will see birds, giraffe and various species of antelope, as well as learning about and interacting with these majestic creatures. 

You can choose to do sunrise or sundown elephant back safaris. Refreshments and either breakfast, lunch or snacks are included in the rate, depending on the safari time.

Day trips to the Chobe National Park in Botswana can also be arranged - the Park is only 1¾ drive away from Livingstone. 

The Chobe National Park is the second largest National Park in Botswana and covers 10,566 km², and has one of the greatest concentrations of game found on the African continent.  Its uniqueness in the abundance of wildlife and the true African nature of the region, offers a safari experience of a lifetime. A major feature of the Park is its elephant population currently estimated at around 100,000.

The day safari begins with a cruise on the Chobe River with refreshments while the boat takes you close up to the waterfowl and wildlife along the river. Flocks of birds, large pods of hippos and crocodiles can be viewed from the safety of the boat. Lunch is served as you travel deeper into Chobe National Park.
