The most exciting activities Zimbabwe has to offer.
World-class Grade 5 white water rafting through the Batoka Gorge below Victoria Falls. The Zambezi offers some of the most powerful commercially rafted rapids on earth, with names like 'The Devil's Toilet Bowl' and 'Oblivion'.
Leap 111 meters from the historic Victoria Falls Bridge into the Batoka Gorge — Africa's highest bungee jump. The spray of the falls and the ancient gorge create the most dramatic bungee setting in Africa.
Multi-day canoe safari on the Zambezi River through Mana Pools National Park, paddling past hippos, crocodiles, elephants, and buffalo. One of Africa's most exhilarating and wildlife-rich paddling experiences.
Walk with a professional armed guide through prime African wilderness, tracking elephant, lion, wild dog, and rhino on foot. Zimbabwe's guides are among Africa's finest and the encounters are profoundly intimate.
Walk with a ranger through Matobo Hills to track white rhino in their natural habitat. Getting within 30 meters of white rhino on foot is one of Zimbabwe's most extraordinary wildlife experiences.
Swing like a pendulum across the Batoka Gorge on a 120-meter free fall or zip line across the gorge at 120km/h with the spray of Victoria Falls as your backdrop. Less extreme than bungee but equally thrilling.
Multi-day wilderness trekking through the remote Chimanimani Mountains on the Mozambique border. Pristine Afro-montane forest, crystal rivers, dramatic ridgelines, and zero tourist infrastructure for a true wilderness experience.
Fish for the ferocious tigerfish — one of the world's most prized freshwater sport fish — on the vast waters of Lake Kariba. The aerial leaps and savage strikes make this one of Africa's premier fishing adventures.
