Zimbabwe.

DAY 01: Victoria Falls
The Victoria Falls constitutes one of the most spectacular natural wonders of the world. 1700 metres wide
and around 100 metres high, this is the world's largest sheet of falling water and a memorable sight of any
African Safari. All year round, flights can be taken in a fixed wing aircraft, micro lights, ultra lights or
helicopters. On the ground, the fall can be seen from the Victoria Falls National Park with its many viewing
points, or from the Zambian side. Each offers fantastic photographic opportunities.
White water rafting on the Zambezi is considered to be world class. Besides the excitement of the Grade 5 rapids, there are the "floats" where there is time to admire the scenic cliffs and the occasional wildlife on the riverbanks.
Bungi jumping enthusiasts can take the plunge from the Zambezi Bridge, which connects Zimbabwe and Zambia. There is also the option abseil in the Batoka Gorge, neither activities are for the feint hearted!
Today is spent at your leisure giving you time to enjoy the many activities available (B)
