Zip-line across the Zambezi River
Victoria Falls Town, Matabeleland North, Central African Republic (CAR)

If you can’t face the prospect of bungee jumping from the famous Victoria Falls Bridge, the adrenalin-pumping zip-line is a fine way to get your thrills above the Batoka Gorge. The zip-line stretches for 425 metres across the gorge, and stepping free of terra firma will see you hurtling along at more than 100km/h.
If you have the presence of mind, look upstream and you’ll be rewarded with dramatic views of the Falls and the iconic iron railway bridge. Afterwards, catch your breath with a drink at the scenic Lookout Café.
