Family Friendly Activities at Victoria Falls

Victoria Falls Tour: The main event, of course. This tour takes the family through the rainforest trail, offering different vantage points of Victoria Falls. Keep your eyes peeled for rainbows. You might get a bit wet, but that’s part of the fun!

Scenic Cable Car Ride over the Batoka Gorge: Offering some of the best views of the Gorge, this cable car is a hit with children and those less enthusiastic about hiking. It’s like a bird’s-eye view, but without the need for wings.

Zambezi River Boat Cruises: Enjoy a leisurely float down the river with plenty of opportunities to spot hippos, crocodiles, and various bird species. Most cruises offer snacks and drinks – we hear the sunsets are as good as the snacks.

Boma Dinners: This interactive dining experience features traditional African cuisine and entertainment. Drumming, dancing, and even some hair-raising (not really) local delicacies make it a dinner to remember. Plus, there’s a buffet, so picky eaters will survive.

Safari Game Drives: Hop into a 4×4 for a game drive in the nearby National Parks. Spot the Big Five and plenty of other creatures roaming free. It’s like a zoo, minus the cages, plus the thrill.
