About Victoria Falls Bungee Jumping

Surely jumping 111 meters off the Victoria Falls Bridge has to be one of the most challenging, terrifying, crazy things to do. I have not built up the courage yet but from all accounts.... It's a must do.

Some say it's the best Bungee in the world...it's not the highest, that honour goes to Macau Tower in China which is an incredible 233m. Maybe it is because of the backdrop of the Victoria Falls or maybe just the fact that you are free falling down towards the mighty Zambezi. Whatever it is, it is a massive adrenaline rush!!

Even famous people such as Ewan McGregor and Will Smith have taken the plunge.

There is only one company that operates the Bungee Jump on the Victoria Falls Bridge. They are affiliated to Shearwater in Zimbabwe.

First timers normally do a standard head first dive, but the more experienced try all sorts of flips, backflips and inward tucks, some even with a bicycle or kayak.

Pre-booked and paid bungee jumpers are entitled to a full refund up until they sign the indemnity form on the bridge and start to strap up, you are then past the point of no return.


Where to Eat

You might well be wondering if there is anywhere to get a nice cold drink and something to eat once you are on the bridge. With all that adrenaline and energy you will have worked up quite an appetite.

The Bridge Cafe is ideal, it's thatched and open air platform, overlooking the bridge, offers cool respite from the intense heat on the bridge plus it serves a fantastic burger.

Customer Feedback

Brilliant service and so helpful
by Sally (Blisworth, U.K.)
I stumbled across Victoria Fall Guide by accident, but I am so glad I did. Tony and Boo were so helpful, advising us on the best activities for us as I have mobility issues, and arranging our itinerary and booking everything. I had no worries about using them, or sending a very large payment to someone I didn’t know. Everything they booked for us was so well organised, pick ups on time, knowledgeable and friendly guides, clean transport. We did the walking tour of the falls, the sunset dinner cruise, full day at Chobe, the team, lion encounter and the helicopter and every single one was faultless. We were also due to do the lunar rainbow but unfortunately it was cancelled, however boo arranged the refund immediately. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone. We are so grateful to them for making our special holiday even more so.
