Mana Pools
Paddle silently by on a canoe as an abundance of elephant, hippo, lions, antelope and giraffes and drink from this local watering hole. Go on a guided walking trail through the park or by vehicle, or fish for the plentiful tigerfish, vundu and bream found in these waters.

Matopos National Park

Zambezi River
The fourth longest river in Africa finds its source in Zambia, and is a safari experience not to be missed.

Activities

Water rafting
Zambezi water rafting is internationally acclaimed as being the wildest in the world with rafting conducted on both sides of the Zambezi River, in Zimbabwe and Zambia below the Victoria Falls. Options include one-and-a-half day rafting trips or rafting expeditions.

River Boarding
Armed with a wetsuit, life jacket, helmet and fins, you can surf some of the world’s biggest fresh water rapids on a river board on the Zambezi.

Bungi Jumping
The Vic Falls bungi makes a leap from the bridge that spans the Bakota gorge in the no-man's land between Zimbabwe and Zambia.

Scenic Flights
The best views of the Victoria Falls and the winding gorges of the Zambezi River are from the air – either by helicopter or micro light. The best time to fly over the 1.7 km falls is when the spray is at its highest. Between the months of April to June the massive volume of water makes its own spectacular rainbows.
