Adventure Activities:Livingstone has now taken on a new identity as the adventure capital of southern Africa. The Zambezi River, Victoria Falls and the Batoka Gorge are in close proximity to the town and its an excellent base from which to explore all the action.
White water rafting: One of the most intense experiences that can be imagined! Its a wild rollercoaster journey rafting from the base of Victoria Falls through the Batoka Gorge.
There are 13 thundering rapids when the river is high, usually March to July. Once the water level drops then the full 23 rapids can be done. This adventure can be taken in a half day, full day or 2 day (with camping in the gorge) excursion.
Bungi Jumping: For a life changing rush, take a leap of faith from the highest bridge jump in the world! The bridge, between Zambia and Zimbabwe in no mans land is 111 metres high and spans the Batoka Gorge, with the mighty Zambezi River below.
Riverboarding, Abseiling and Gorge Swinging: Riverboarding is like surfing, but on the Zambezi River through rapids, safety gear is worn but it is a lot of fun and rewarding too. Abseiling down the gorge, high wiring, gorge swinging and rap jumping with a safety harness and as much courage as can be mustered visitors can spend the whole day doing them all for maximum fun!
Tandem Kayaking and Canoeing: Another great adventure negotiating rapids with a seasoned white water rafting guide! For a more sedate experience, guided canoeing is just the ticket. Visitors can glide along the Zambezi and take in the beautiful scenery, skirt islands and watch the wildlife. There are also overnight trips with camping on the islands.
Jet Boating: This is a thrill ride in hi speed jet-propelled boats over the rapids on the Zambezi River.
Horse Riding Trails and Elephant Back Safaris: The horse trails are a delight through wonderful scenery including river crossings and camping out if a 2 hour ride is not enough. The Elephant Back Safaris take place on the Zimbabwean side of Victoria Falls through a valley and along the Masuwe River.
