Of course this is an absolute MUST DO while you are here with us. The Falls will be at peak flow in June and being the largest curtain of falling water in the world, that is a spectacle you cannot miss. Walk through the unique rainforest surrounding the Falls and stop at lookout points along the way to marvel at one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.

Local Zimbo fees are currently US$ 5.

SADC passport holders pay a reduced rate of US$ 20

International passport holders pay US$ 30  Cards are accepted but cash on hand is recommended just in case.   Ideal times to see the Falls are either for sunrise at 6 am or in the afternoon from 3 pm. The rainbows are at their best over these times, for just a little extra magic.

Victoria Falls are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the largest curtain of falling water in the world.

On this tour you will be accompanied through the Rainforest by a qualified guide who will give a brief history of the Falls, as well as detailing the flora, fauna and other points of interest. Stop at lookout points along the way to marvel at one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.

Lunar Rainbow tours are available during full moon nights.

Possibly the most spectacular of activities to do while in the Falls. The beginning of this impressive experience will see you take off from the Masuwe Helipad in an easterly direction, over the the vast Masuwe river valley toward the plunging cliffs of the Batoka Gorge where you will climb to a height of 1500ft and approach the face of the magnificent Victoria Falls. Dr David Livingstone once mused such a perspective to be, “a sight so beautiful that it must have been gazed upon by angels in their flight”.

There are 3 different flight options available: 

Flight of the Angels - 15 minute flight - Mates Rates (Booking through Bushtracks only) = US$128 Normal Rate = US$150

Livingstone’s Experience - 20 minute flight - Mates Rates (Booking through Bushtracks only) = US$ 212 Normal rate = US$235  Game Flight - 30 minute flight - Mates Rates (Booking through Bushtracks only) = US$235 Normal Rate = $277  BOOKING: reservations@bushtracksafrica.com Reference for discount: JeansWedding

Don’t miss the opportunity to witness the spectacular sight of hundreds of vultures swooping down and feeding on meat scraps and bones from the on-site vulture restaurant in front of Victoria Falls Safari Lodge at 1 pm daily.

As well as providing the opportunity for visitors to spot white headed vultures, hooded vultures, lappet faced vultures and white backed vultures, this supplementary feeding program aids the survival of these remarkable, but endangered birds.

No bookings are necessary. Simply meet before 1 pm on the viewing deck of the Buffalo Bar at Victoria Falls Safari Lodge. A guide will invite and escort you to the vulture restaurant area.

The activity, which is free of charge and appeals to all age groups, begins with a briefing on a deck beneath Victoria Falls Safari Lodge, about the ecological importance of vultures and the plight they are facing, before guests take a short walk down a bush path to a hide where they are able to get an up close and personal view of the vultures feeding.

It is well worth enjoying a sundowner afterwards on the spectacular viewing deck. Big game may be seen at the waterhole from the Buffalo Bar, pool deck or while enjoying a sumptuous meal at the MaKuwa-Kuwa Restaurant upstairs.

The Boma dinner & drum show is also just a short walk away.

Steeped in history and one of the oldest Hotels in Africa, The Victoria Falls Hotel serves as a reminder of the distinguished and elegant era to which it was born. Built in 1904 by the British, its grounds are set on a beautiful vantage point, overlooking the Batoka gorge. A short stroll through its passage ways and courtyards transports you to the early days of Africa’s frontier. Nestled inside the hotel on the ground floor is the Larry Norton Gallery where a selection of the renowned wildlife artist’s latest original works is on display. The most striking attraction is the truly spectacular view it offers, with the gorge plummeting beneath you and the spray of the Falls drifting lazily over the span of Victoria Falls Bridge. It is a majestic setting to enjoy a drink, a meal or their highly recommended high tea.
