Varied Adventures of Victoria Falls

What is this safari about?

If you’re looking for action, adrenalin and adventure all rolled into one then Victoria Falls is a destination you won’t want to miss.

Activities to get the heart racing range from the world famous bungee jump and gorge swing, to canoeing and some of the best white water rafting on earth. Or if you’d prefer to admire the majestic Falls from above you may like to treat yourself to a micro-light / helicopter flight. While in town ensure you make time to enjoy a meal at either the River Café, Three Monkey Café, the new Zambezi House restaurant on the river or be sure to watch the sun set on a dinner river cruise on the Boathouse.

If you’re keen to stay a few days to take in all the area has to offer, SAFARI FRANK recommends Victoria Falls Hotel for some colonial history and old-style grandeur. We rate their breakfasts as up there with the best in the world, their afternoon high tea is not to be missed and dinner is a very special dining experience. If you’re after a more affordable and owner operated stay we recommend Bayete Lodge.
