From something sedate like canoeing on the upper river to exhilarating and unique delights such as seeing the waterfall from the air on a helicopter or micro-light ‘flight of the angels’, to visiting Livingstone Island where the famous seasonal Devils and Angels Pools are, the amazing Ele-Café in the nearby Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park and world-class grade-five White Water Rafting, going on a game walk with tracking the white rhino as the end goal to name but a few (the list is almost endless!) there really is something for everyone to enjoy here.

Canoeing Safaris

Professionally guided canoe safaris take you through the narrow channels on the incredible Zambezi River where you will experience breathtaking scenery and incredible game viewing. With a choice of a half day or full day canoeing excursion, the experience can be as active as you wish.

Built on an elevated wooden deck on the Zambezi River, interact with the resident family of hand-reared elephants and enjoy a leisurely meal gazing over the breathtaking river listening to the sounds of the bush. 

A vintage steam train and dining experience

Dining on the Royal Livingstone Express

Dine in the luxurious comfort of an air-conditioned vintage, dinner steam train as you travel along this section of the famed “Cape to Cairo” route. Your journey takes you to the bridge at Victoria Falls to gaze upon the Falls in the evening before your five-course dinner is served. 

Walking Safaris

For a more active, authentic experience, walking safaris in the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park can be arranged with a knowledgeable guide. If possible, gaze upon the rhino from a distance or discover the abundance of wild animals in the area including a magnificent array of birdlife. 

 

 

Horse Trails

Riding through the teak forests and wilderness areas, crossing over rivers and exploring along the banks of the river... The elevated position of a horseback safari is one of the better ways to enjoy the inspiring natural beauty of the local bush and river-side. 

Chobe National Park (Botswana)

Looking to venture a bit further afield? Chobe National Park is an ideal day trip into neighbouring Botswana  for a pristine bush experience. The park overlooks the Chobe river and offers spectacular views over the floodplains and is home to a large concentration of browsing and grazing animals.

Devil's Pool

Devil's Pool is situated adjacent to Livingstone Island at the top of the Victoria Falls. Enjoy a breakfast or lunch on the island and a dip in Devil's Pool, right on the edge of the Falls. This activity is usually open between mid-August and mid-January, depending on water levels. 

Microlight Flights

Experience the exhilaration of flying in an open cockpit in a microlight. Best during high water season, experience Victoria Falls from the sky and truly appreciate the magnificent spray! 

Whitewater Rafting

Considered the best one day rafting experience in the world, the Zambezi River flowing down the Batoka Gorge provides one of the most intense sensory thrills imaginable. Its white-water rapids and striking scenery, deep within the sheer black cliffs of the Batoka Gorge afford the adrenaline junkie a wild roller-coaster ride along a route carved over millennia by the middle Zambezi River.

Helicopter Flip

Enjoy the beauty of Mosi-oa-Tunya, the 'Smoke That Thunders' from the sky! The best way to appreciate the true splendour of the Victoria Falls is to view them from the air.
