A story that's entertaining, theatrical and transfixing
Victoria Falls is one of the most compelling sites in the world. This cascading column of sheer energy powers its way down a 100m chasm, taking your breath away as you gaze in awe, mesmerized by its strength and incredible beauty. As you are captivated by this famous wonder, you will be completely enthralled to see and feel “The Smoke that Thunders.” Our expert tour guides will ensure you have the best photographic opportunities while entertaining you with historical and current information.
Learn about the flora, fauna, birds & wildlife, and other fascinating details of this World Heritage Site. Raincoats are provided when needed.
Departure Times: Generally 08h00 / 09h00 / 11h00 / 14h00 / 15h00. However, we are very flexible and will suit client’s itineraries where they cannot meet the scheduled departure times. It is very necessary to pre-book a Guided Tour for planning purposes.
Duration: 2 – 2.5 hours depending on how much time clients want to spend taking photos and admiring the spectacular views. Also note that there is a Café in the Rainforest and clients can take time out to have something to drink/eat before walking out of the Rainforest.
Additional information on the Rainforest:
A 40-minute drive through the countryside of Zimbabwe on off-road terrain will offer picturesque scenery on the way to the top of the Gorge at rapid number 23. After the safety and procedural briefing, you will enjoy an hour-long walk at the top of the gorge, along the river to Rapid 25. The hiking experience continues into an authentic, beautiful Ndebele homestead where you will get a chance to interact with the local headman and his family while having brunch under the thatched shade of their decorated mud huts. These graceful hosts are keen to show off their home and share their cultural way of life in relation to family, education, livestock, diet, and anything you may find interesting. This is a non-seasonal activity that can be enjoyed throughout the year.
This active and interactive way to view game allows you to interact with nature in a way that game drives don’t. Examine and follow animal tracks, see creatures up close, and appreciate the amazing flora that covers the land. Being on foot lets you into a world so few get to see, hear, touch, and smell. Your guide will help you meet Africa’s flora and fauna up close and personal.
Prepare to be amazed as you enter a different world, where a way of life continues as it has done for centuries, enabling you to go back in time.

Recommendations: Bring any old clothes, sweets, stationery, etc which can be useful to these people. Departure Times: Generally 10h00 and 14h00. Once again, we are flexible on our departure times. Duration: 2 hours
Journey through over 100 years of history in this engaging, theatrical, and educational tour. Built between 1904 and 1905, the bridge is one of Victoria Falls’ most prominent landmarks.
The Shearwater Bridge Tour, led by our enthusiastic team of guides, takes you through the history of this remarkable structure, from its design and initial prefabrication in England to its construction in Africa.
The bridge, an engineering masterpiece and revolutionary for its time, was central to Cecil John Rhodes’ vision of a Cape to Cairo railway. Its history is entertaining, tragic, and transfixing in equal measure.
