Two days to explore Victoria Falls and the surrounding area. Marvel as the mighty Zambezi River drops 100 metres into a narrow gorge. Water cascades over the falls with a roar in a cloud of mist. View the falls from the air, train or on foot. Thrill seekers may choose to bungee-jump, zip-wire or white water raft on the Zambezi.
