Victoria Falls bungee jumping
Jumping 111 meters from the Victoria Falls Bridge must undoubtedly be one of the most difficult, terrifying, and wildest things to do.
Some say that it is the best Bungee in the world. It is not the highest; this honor goes to the tower of Macau in China, which measures 233 meters. Perhaps it is because of the backdrop of Victoria Falls or maybe simply because you are free to fall towards the mighty Zambezi. Either way, it’s a massive adrenaline rush !!
Even famous people like Ewan McGregor and Will Smith have taken the plunge.
There is only one company that operates Bungee jumping on the Victoria Falls Bridge. They are affiliated with Shearwater in Zimbabwe.
Beginners usually do their first standard dive, but the more experienced try all kinds of flips, backflips and inward folds, some even with a bike.
Pre-booked and paid bungee jumpers are entitled to a full refund until they sign the compensation form on the deck and start tying, then you have passed the point of no return.
