Bungee Jumping In Victoria Falls
Regularly voted as one of the top five adrenaline experiences worldwide, it is well worth a try for the adventurous in spirit!
Plummet towards the tumbling rapids within the gorges of the mighty Zambezi River off the center of the Victoria Falls Bridge.
Hosting the original adventure activity, the bridge has been a witness to hundreds of thousands of visitors who have taken the plunge over the edge into oblivion.
The bridge was constructed in 1905 by Cecil John Rhodes and joins the 2 countries of Zimbabwe and Zambia.
The Victoria Falls bridge is constructed of iron and was an engineering feat in its day. The remote location at the time of construction made transport very difficult and time-consuming as well as extremely dangerous to work on.
Today, a bungee jump at Victoria Falls is safe but exhilarating.
[Very important – don’t forget to take your passport on jump day! You will need it to get onto the bridge and through Zambian immigration to get to the jump station.]
