Bungee Jumping at Victoria Falls
Defy gravity with a bungee jump off the iconic Victoria Falls Bridge, suspended above the roaring Zambezi River. Nose diving towards the swirling waters below pumps adrenaline through your veins as you experience the ultimate leap of faith surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty.
White Water Rafting on the Zambezi River
You can go down the mighty Zambezi River navigating through exhilarating rapids and breathtaking gorges. The roaring water will have you hanging on as the rapids range from exhilarating to heart-stopping.
Zip Lining Across the Batoka Gorge
Fly like a bird as you zip line across the Batoka Gorge, soaring over the Zambezi River with panoramic views of the surrounding wilderness. Feel the wind rush past you as you glide effortlessly along the zip line, taking in the beauty and adrenaline-inducing heights of the gorge below.
Walking safaris
Zambia offers exceptional walking safaris, with opportunities both inside and outside national parks, particularly in South Luangwa, North Luangwa, and Lower Zambezi. Most safari lodges provide nature walks alongside game drives, while select camps specialize in walking experiences. For dedicated walkers, Zambia has thrilling trails for you to explore.
Bird watching
Zambia offers a rich birding experience with 750 species, particularly along the Zambezi River and in South Luangwa and Kafue National Parks. Look out for Pel’s fishing owl in Luangwa, Lower Zambezi, and Kafue, as well as white-fronted and carmine bee-eaters along the riverbanks. Venture off the beaten path to Bangweulu Swamps for shoebills or Liuwa Plains for remote birding.Â
Game drives
In Zambia, the best way to view wildlife particularly the big 5 is via game drives in open 4×4 vehicles. The top destinations renowned for big-game viewing include South Luangwa National Park, Kafue National Park, and Lower Zambezi National Park. Find more information on Zambia National Parks here.
