Zambia stands out as Africa’s premier destination for adventure and extreme sports. The Victoria Falls region offers a variety of activities that attract visitors from around the world, including bungee jumping off Victoria Falls Bridge, white-water rafting along the Zambezi River and more. Keep reading to find out the best adventure activities offered in Zambia.
Experience Victoria Falls from a one-of-a-kind point of view with a microlight flight, often referred to as the “Flight of Angels.” The 15- or 30-minute adventure is not for the faint-hearted, showcasing the best views of the Falls and surrounding landscapes. Passengers fly high above Victoria Falls with a skillful pilot, getting close enough to the falls to feel the spray of the cascading water below. Guests also will fly over Batoka Gorge and nearby islands where there is a beautiful view of the Zambezi River. Those who take the longer flight will fly over the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park to spot hippos sunbathing or elephants playing.
Looking for an adventure with wildlife sightings? Embark on a canoeing safari along the Zambezi River. Paddle through calm waters surrounded by diverse wildlife and plant life. Guests can encounter exciting creatures like hippos and crocodiles.
Go for a thrilling swim at the edge of Victoria Falls with a visit to Livingstone Island, also known as Devil’s Pool. After a short boat ride from shore, be greeted by the stunning island where David Livingstone first discovered the falls. From this vantage point, look for colorful rainbows on sunny days. After marveling at the falls, take a jump into Devil’s Pool, a natural rock pool. With the help of guides and safety ropes, you can swim to the pool’s edge and peer over the cascading waters.
Navigate the raging rapids of the Zambezi River on a white-water rafting experience, considered by experts one of the best rafting trips on the planet. Zambezi River features large waves, with Class IV and V rapids, guaranteeing a thrilling adrenaline rush.

Test your fears as you embark on the ultimate adrenaline-fueled adventure: bungee jumping at one of the world’s greatest bungee sites, Victoria Falls Bridge. With the backdrop of Victoria Falls, leapers launch themselves into a heart-pumping, 365-foot freefall.
