There is always plenty to do at Victoria Falls and we have arranged many activities for visitors over the years. Take to the skies on a scenic flight you'll never forget; explore the African bush on an elephant-back safari; experience the thrill of throwing yourself off the bridge on the end of a bungee rope or take things easy with a sunset boat cruise on the Zambezi River complete with snorting hippos and gin and tonics…



Immerse yourself in the local culture with a village visit or an adventurous dinner at the world-famous Boma Restaurant. An evening at The Boma is guaranteed to be an all round sensory extravaganza, specialising in a selection of traditional Zimbabwean dishes and a feast of entertainment including Shangaan dances and songs, traditional stories told by a local Sangoma and the antics of a resident witchdoctor.

UNWTO GENERAL ASSEMBLY

Zimbabwe is proud host to the upcoming United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) General Assembly coming up in August; more specifically, delegates will gather in Victoria Falls, which has seen much development and work go into the improvement of public facilities and tourism venues.

(UNWTO is the United Nations agency responsible for the promotion of responsible, sustainable and universally accessible tourism - and Zimbabwe and other countries in Africa look forward to increasing its world tourism market share from the current 6 percent to double- digit figures.)

VICTORIA FALLS MARATHON

Every year, hundreds of runners take to the streets, bridge and wilderness trails of Victoria Falls and pound their way along one of the world’s most scenic marathon routes. The full or half marathon attracts local and foreign runners and is a qualifying event for the Two Oceans and Comrades Marathons in South Africa. www.vicfallsmarathon.com

The Victoria Falls is impressive and awesome and spectacular. It is a must-see highlight of your African Safari and provides action, adventure, history, romance, culture and scenic beauty in one. Contact Nicci or Laura to find out how we can build this brilliant destination into your 2014 Safari.
