VICTORIA FALLS
Apart from the natural wonder, Vic Falls is like a Disneyworld of 'packed adventure' in the south of Africa. Here you can find any adventure activity under the sun. There are quite a lot of activities to do in the Falls. You can find a lot of agencies, both in Vic Falls or in Livingstone (in the Zambian side). It is said that the Livingstone companies are the same price as Victoria Falls but you get a bit more value for your money with the Livingstone companies . But people have their own opinions about which company to go as well. I will list below the companies that do different activities for Vic Falls and Zambia.
Whitewater Rafting
This activity takes place below the Falls and the white water section of the Zambezi extends for just over 20km, hurtling the rubber boats through 19 gorges bordered by sheer cliffs of up to 700ft high.
Companies: Shearwater, Safari Par, Frontiers, in VicFalls; Raft Extreme in Livingstone (Zambia).
Bungi-Jumping. A visit to the Victoria Falls is packed with adventure, and those wishing to experience the thrill of bungi-jumping have one of the most scenic spots in the world at their disposal.
Companies: With this one, there are so many people doing it, I suggest the best thing to do is to go to a place called Backpackers Bazaar at Victoria Falls and they will recommend the best company to go to.
Abseiling: Abseil Zambia. There is only one Company as far as I know that is offering this and it is in Livingstone. I would recommend this activity to anyone. It is a full day activity and it includes, Abseiling, High Wire and the Gorge Swing (real adrenalin rush). You are given a light breakfast and full lunch.
