ZIPLINES · ZIMBABWE ZIPLINE TOURS
Good zimbabwe zipline tours fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 7 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Fly across nine zip lines above the Zambezi River and Victoria Falls Bridge, then cross a rope bridge and follow nature trails. Wild Horizons provides gear, guides, transfers from Victoria Falls hotels, and park fees. Expect safety training, a brisk pace, and a steep walk back uphill.
“Very safety conscious. First timer loved it. Staff great. Would recommend it. 9 ziplines made for an enjoyable experience.”
From the Victoria Falls Bridge, you’ll cross 425 meters of the Batoka Gorge at up to 106 km/h, 120 meters above the Zambezi. English-speaking guides handle the safety gear and launch, while you enjoy views toward Victoria Falls. The ride is suitable from age six, but check the tandem arrangement before booking.
At Victoria Falls Bridge, Wild Horizons sends you across the Batoka Gorge on a high-speed zipline above the Zambezi. Allow about 30 minutes to an hour. Pickup is available from hotels, guest houses, and B&Bs in Victoria Falls Town, though careful confirmation of pickup time is wise.
“La tyrolienne, top.... mais par contre le service de prise en charge à l'hôtel, désastreux!! malgré une confirmation par mail de l'heure, ils nous avaient... oublié! bref, nous avons perdu la matinée”
Glide through Zimbabwe’s Zambezi gorge forest on nine slides, a cable bridge, and canopy walkways. Two English-speaking guides lead the 2 to 2.5-hour outing, with safety gear and hotel transfers from Victoria Falls Town included. Watch for turacos and Peregrine Falcons, and bring warm layers, sunscreen, comfortable shoes, and a hair tie.
“Very well organised and great fun. Guides very personable and made the activity”
You’ll cross Batoka Gorge on Victoria Falls’ Foofie Slide, traveling 425 meters at up to 106 km/h and 120 meters above the Zambezi. The one-hour outing includes scheduled hotel return transfers, takes up to 15 people, and starts at 8:00 am. Expect a harness, pulley launch, striking gorge views, and a separate USD 3 park fee.
“It was a lot of fun, even for my wife of 60 years. The harness was a bit uncomfortable. Very beautiful scenery”
You’ll spend about two hours with Wild Horizons on three high-wire rides above Batoka Gorge: the Flying Fox, Zip Line, and a 70-meter Gorge Swing. English-speaking guides handle the safety briefing and scheduled hotel transfers. The package suits thrill seekers who want several big activities in one outing, though videos cost extra and phones are not allowed on the rides.
“Was great experience doing all 3 but gorgeous swing was by far the most thrilling...”
Fly 425 meters across Batoka Gorge on a zipline with an English-speaking instructor. You will be harnessed to a pulley, reach up to 106 km/h, and travel 120 meters above the Zambezi River. Scheduled transfers from Victoria Falls Town hotels and the $3 park fee are included.
“Professional and fun guides. Really well run. We did the gorge swing and the zip line. Both amazing !!”
By what it crosses, what it is bolted onto, or how far it drops.
