Things To Do
Victoria Falls
The Victoria Falls presents a spectacular sight of awe-inspiring beauty and grandeur on the Zambezi River, forming a natural border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. It was described by the Kololo tribe living in the area as ‘Mosi-oa-Tunya’ – ‘The Smoke that Thunders’ for the immense spray and incredible noise caused by the rushing water. Victoria Falls is now also known as the greatest curtain of falling water in the world when its width and height are combined. Columns of spray can be seen from miles away as, at the height of the rainy season, more than five hundred million cubic metres (over 17 billion cubic feet) of water per minute plummet over the edge, over a width of nearly two kilometres or over a mile, into a gorge over a hundred metres or 300 feet below. Cost: $25/person

The flight will continue in the bowls of the steep Batoka gorge, above the raging river to rapid 26. At rapid 26 the pilot will fly you out of the gorge, back to the Victoria Falls where the pilot will do one and half orbits right and left of the Vic Falls and then head back to Baobab Ridge.
