Ziplining Victoria Falls: Flying Fox, Zip Line & Gorge Swing

Fly over the Zambezi gorge and feel the rush of the free-fall swing below

The Adrenaline Highwire Package combines three aerial activities at Victoria Falls National Park: the Flying Fox carries you out over the gorge, the zip line races you across it, and the gorge swing drops you into free fall above the Zambezi River. A guide leads the whole sequence, which takes two hours, and transfers from your Victoria Falls accommodation are included.

The experience

The Flying Fox launches you vertically out over the gorge (the sensation of flying straight out rather than down a slope), and gives you an unobstructed view of the Zambezi River and the ancient rock walls below. The zip line follows, running across the gorge itself and built to raise your heart rate. Both are setup and equipment you operate under the guide's instruction, not a passive ride.

The gorge swing is the free-fall moment: you step off a platform and drop into the air above the river before the rope catches and swings you out across the void. The whole package runs two hours from start to finish. Transfers pick you up from your hotel, guest house or bed-and-breakfast in Victoria Falls Town, so you don't arrange transport separately. A guide in English leads the activities and handles the safety briefing before you clip in.

The site sits within Victoria Falls National Park, so the backdrop is the falls and the gorge itself. Children from age six can participate if they meet the moderate fitness requirement. The operator asks that you notify them of any medical conditions (allergies, asthma, or anything that could affect your safety at height) before you arrive. Bring water. The climate here is hot and dry from September through April, and dehydration happens fast.

Top questions

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Child (6 to 11 years). Children under 6 can't be included in the booking.

What exactly is the Flying Fox and how does it differ from the zip line?

The Flying Fox carries you vertically out over the gorge on a cable, so you fly straight out rather than down a slope, giving you a direct view of the Zambezi River and the rock formations below. The zip line runs horizontally across the gorge itself and is the speed element of the package.

How does the gorge swing work and what does the free fall feel like?

The gorge swing is a pendulum jump: you step off a platform and drop into open air above the river before the rope arrests your fall and swings you out across the void. It's the pure adrenaline moment of the three activities.

Is the two-hour duration the total time including setup, or just the time in the air?

Two hours is the total duration of the package from arrival to finish, which includes the guide's safety briefing, equipment setup, and all three activities back-to-back.

What's the minimum age and fitness level required?

Children can join from age six. The operator requires at least a moderate level of physical fitness. The activities involve climbing, stepping off platforms and managing your weight on cables, so you need to be comfortable with those movements.

Are there any medical conditions that would prevent me from doing this?

Pregnancy is not recommended for this package. The operator also asks you to disclose any medical conditions (allergies, heart conditions, asthma, or anything affecting your safety at height) before you arrive so they can assess your suitability.
