A Victoria Falls holiday package has so much to offer
A little play ground in the middle of Africa

The African name of the Victoria Falls varies from place to place, but the commonly used name of "Mosi oa Tunya" or the "Smoke that thunders" is an appropriate description of the power and enormity of the Falls.

An interesting point to note is that because the catchment area is so far upriver, it takes some months for the water to reach the brink of the Victoria Falls.  This therefore has a great influence on the volume of water at different times of the year when the Falls are low and when they are flowing at full capacity.

Helicopter flights:
No better way of viewing such an enormous waterfall feature than from the air. We do recommend the ‘Flight of Angels’ by helicopter for an unparalleled views of the Victoria Falls and Zambezi National Park. A Victoria Falls must do.  Herds of wild life and Hippos can also be spotted from the vantage of your aerial position. Approx US$100 for roughly 30 minutes

White water Rafting below Vic Falls:

Regarded as the world's greatest white water rafting adventures, rafting down the mighty Zambezi is an experience like none other.  Victoria Falls offers the best white water rafting on the planet. Don’t miss The Mother, Stairway to Heaven and Oblivion. Are you up for it?  Guaranteed to give you the ride of your life.

And for a real adrenalin rush Bungy Jump off the Victoria Bridge.  Test the boundaries of your fear and experience the true sense of safe recklessness as you plummet 111 metres towards the Zambezi River.

Sunset Game cruise above Vic Falls:

Zambezi sunset cruises offers you the chance to relax and see various wild game coming down to the rivers edge to drink.  Afternoon sun set cruises where spotting wildlife is the focus on the cruise - a safari from the comfort of a boat?

Elephant back safari:

Ride and interact with an African Elephant in their natural environment on an Elephant back safari. Lumber past wild game and crash through the African bush on the back of Africa's largest land mammal.
An Elephant Back Safari is an experience that you will never forget. Ride, learn about and interact with these majestic creatures. Meet Lundi, Tatu, Moka and others in their natural surroundings of the game-rich Nakavango Estate just 15 minutes drive from the Victoria Falls

Cultural Boma Dinner with cultural dancers:  (not to be missed!)

Partially open to the African skies and sheltered by the indigenous Gusu forest lies the award winning Boma restaurant. This offers a unique African experience that bombards the senses with the tastes, sights, sounds and smells of Africa - coupled with the warmth and hospitality of the local people. Styled in the traditional manner, the thatched Boma has an open fire to enhance the vibrant atmosphere which is clearly evident from the moment you step across the threshold.  Enjoy the entertainment of the African cultural dancers.
