The Heart Stopping Victoria Falls Bridge Tour
This tour provides an entertaining and historical introduction on the history of this steel Bridge given by an actor playing the part of Georges Imbault, who was the chief construction engineer when it was built.
He provides a very informative and interesting narrative on the construction of the Victorian structure in 1904, why, and how Cecil John Rhodes planned and actioned this undertaking. He also gives an explanation on why a full locomotive was transported across the gorge before the bridge was completed!
This will keep even the kids interested and enthralled.
The Exciting Part of the Victoria Falls Bridge Tour
