Bungee Jumping at Victoria Falls
Bungee Jumping at Victoria Falls: This Bungee jumping is arranged by the Shearwater company at the Victoria Falls bridge which is located between Zambia and Zimbabwe at a height of 111 meters. The scenic beauty of the Victoria Falls can also be seen from this bridge which is built over the Zambezi River. A well-known Indian traveller Mr. Ignatious Enas has done this “Greatest Thrilling Bungee Jump in the World” at one of the most spectacular spot.
If you are an adventure lover, you can try the Bungee jumping which costs 160 USD and 50 USD for photos and video. If you like this video, please share with others. And if you would like to watch travel videos, please press the subscribe button of Travel with Jyothis Youtube channel.
Water Rafting On The Mighty Zambezi River
When a river 1700 metres wide plunges 120 metres over the Victoria Falls and is trapped in a basalt gorge no more than 40 metres wide, the result is….TURBULENT!
Over 70 kilometres, the warm waters of the Zambezi River offers some of the finest Grade 5 high volume rapids on the planet as it surges through the scenic splendour of the Batoka Gorge.
In 1985, Shearwater was the first company to run commercial white-water rafting trips on the Zambezi River in Zimbabwe. Since those early intrepid paddle strokes Shearwater has become synonymous internationally with some of the biggest and best white water action in the world. Prepare to get wet and wild on the mighty Zambezi in one adrenaline-filled day of white-water action!

Victoria Falls | Hype Explore
Galardonada como una de las 7 Maravillas del Mundo y declaradas Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco, en el año 1989, las Cataratas Victoria, en el río Zambeze, son la frontera natural entre Zambia y Zimbabwe a lo largo de sus casi 1.700 metros, constituyendo las cataratas más largas del mundo. Se consideran un espectáculo extraordinario debido al estrecho y raro abismo en que el agua cae.
David Livingstone, el misionero y explorador escocés, visitó la cascada en 1855 y las bautizó con el nombre de la reina Victoria, aunque originalmente los locales la llamaron ‘Mosi-oa-tunya’, el famoso Humo que Truena.
La cascada forma parte de dos parques nacionales, el Parque Nacional de Mosi-oa-Tunya en Zambia y el Parque Nacional de las Cataratas Victoria en Zimbabwe. En cada país, cada parque nacional tiene su puerta de acceso, cobra su entrada, y necesita su visado.
Sus 1.700 metros de longitud se pueden agrupar en 5 cataratas: Devils Cataract, Main Falls, Horseshoe Falls, Rainbow Falls y Eastern Cataract. Sus saltos de agua tienen una altura que oscila entre los 70 y los 108 metros y, durante la temporada de lluvia, alcanzan un caudal de 550 millones de litros por minuto.
En medio del asombroso paisaje se encuentra la isla de Livingstone, llamada así porque fue el lugar donde el explorador vio las cataratas por primera vez. Aquí se encuentra la Piscina del Diablo (Devils Pool), posiblemente el lugar de baño más famoso del mundo y a quizás el más peligroso.
El cruce entre ambos países es el puente “Victoria Falls Bridge”, una atracción turística en sí misma. Desde este puente los más valientes podrán hacer Bumgee Jumping, puenting o tirolina, siendo este puente el lugar más famoso del planeta para tirarse al vacio.
Las aguas altas se producen entre febrero y julio y el nivel máximo es entre marzo y abril. El rocío desprendido es denso, produciendo un arcoíris y ofreciendo una fantástica vista cuando se ve desde el aire. En el periodo de aguas bajas, que se extiende de agosto a enero, periodo donde casi no se forma rocío, los visitantes pueden apreciar la formación geológica de las cataratas en todo su esplendor. El nivel del agua en la garganta desciende y el río Zambeze se convierte en un lugar impresionante para practicar rafting, merecedor de su reputación como una de las experiencia más salvajes del mundo. Como regla general, el nivel de las aguas en el río Zambeze es tan alto en abril que el rafting cierra durante este mes, aunque depende del clima y es mejor consultar.
De abril a octubre, durante la estación seca, el río Luangwa acoge la mayor población de hipopótamos de África. El invierno brinda un magnífico avistamiento de animales en la zona de las cataratas Victoria, con grandes manadas de elefantes y búfalos que se acercan al río Zambeze para beber. Los meses de verano, de octubre a abril, son en general más calurosos y lluviosos.
Para visitar las Cataratas Victoria sin duda la mejor opción es hacerlo a traves de Shearwater Victoria Falls, la mejor agencia turistica de la zona, que trabaja mano a mano con la mayoria de las compañias que realizan actividades en el area. Desde el antes comentado puenting o rafting, hasta safaris de todo tipo en el que ver incluso a los rinocerontes negros, paseos en barco por el río Zambeze para ver el atardecer, visitas al maravilloso Parque Nacional de Chobe en Botswana, o sumergirse dentro de una jaula con cocodrilos. Sea lo que sea lo que uno haga en las cataratas Victoria, no le dejara a uno indiferente...

36 Hours in Victoria
Falls, Zimbabwe Side.
By SARAH KHAN.
With adrenaline-pumping activities galore, there are countless ways to experience this enthralling natural wonder.
In 1855, after first glimpsing what the local Kololo tribe called Mosi-oa-Tunya, “the smoke that thunders”, the Scottish missionary and explorer David Livingstone promptly set about renaming it for his queen. Today, Victoria Falls straddles the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia, transforming the placid Zambezi River into what is perhaps the most majestic waterfall in the world. Since Livingstone’s day, the region has recast itself as the adventure capital of Africa, a hub for white-water rafting, bungee-jumping, zip-lining and more. While you can fly into either the newly redone airport in the town of Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe or its Zambian counterpart in Livingstone and cross back and forth fairly easily, usually in 30 to 45 minutes, Americans should keep in mind the visa fees associated with multiple crossings: $80 for Zambia, and $45 for Zimbabwe. Many say the views are better from the Zimbabwean side, and the country’s 2009 adoption of the United States dollar means you won’t have to worry about exchanging money, so it would be easiest to spend most of your time in the town of Victoria Falls. With adrenaline-pumping activities galore, there are countless ways to experience one of the seven natural wonders of the world.
Friday.
3 P.M. Flight of Angels.
It’s difficult to fully comprehend the magnitude of Victoria Falls from up close: Though it’s neither the tallest nor the longest waterfall in the world, at 355 feet high and a mile wide, and with an average flow of 33,000 cubic feet per second, it’s certainly impressive. The best way to get some perspective is an eagle-eye view during a late-afternoon helicopter flight, when the lush landscape glows in the descending sun and the precipice shimmers with rainbows. Book a 12-minute $150 ride with Flight of Angels that glides over the falls from both Zimbabwean and Zambian vantage points. a sight so stunning it was surely “gazed upon by angels in their flight,” Livingstone wrote. You have ample opportunity to admire what a structural feat the 1905 Victoria Falls Bridge, which linked the two countries sharing the falls, was. A 25-minute outing $284 allows you some aerial game viewing above Zambezi National Park; keep your eyes peeled for elephants, wildebeest and zebras.
4 P.M. Old World Ambience.
One of Africa’s most legendary retreats is the venerable Vilctoria Falls Hotel. It was constructed in 1904 as a key stop along an imagined Cape-to-Cairo railway that the British politician and diamond magnate Cecil Rhodes hoped to build someday, with the bridge part of his plan. The “grand old lady of the falls” retains much of her rarefied colonial-era charm, and the best way to experience it is with a proper afternoon tea on Stanley’s Terrace, where two can share a tiered stand brimming with sandwiches and pastries $25, all while gazing at the mist exploding around the Victoria Falls Bridge as a pianist plays nearby.

VICTORIA FALLS BUNGEE AND HELICOPTER RIDE
WOAHHH! One of the best days of this trip so far!I started off by getting the ol adrenaline pumping by jumping 111 meters off the Vic Falls bridge, then did it again on a swing, andddd then did the zipline. After all that I decided Why not take your 1st helicopter ride James?, so I did just that. Got pretty lucky and they upgraded me from a 12 minute flight to a 25 minute flight and I got to see giraffes, zebras, buffaloes and hippos all for the first time. A really amazing day of firsts in the book!

Shearwater bungee
The original and ultimate thrill! The location is unbeatable – in front of the largest curtain of falling water in the world, at a World Heritage Site, set against the backdrop of one of the Seven Natural Wonders in the World and above the raging torrents and misty gorges of the mighty Zambezi River. Then 5-4-3-2-1 Bungee into the spray and rainbows below! Four seconds of freefall and 111 metres of pure adrenalin! Victoria Falls Bungee is consistently voted as one of the top five adrenalin experiences on the planet. For Bungee Jump veterans, speak to your Jump Master and make it even wilder by doing an Ankle-Tied, Back Flip or a Star Elevator Jump.

Victoria Falls Bridge, Victoria Falls National Park, Zimbabwe, Africa
The Victoria Falls Bridge crosses the Zambezi River just below the Victoria Falls and is built over the Second Gorge of the falls. As the river is the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia, the bridge links the two countries and has border posts on the approaches to both ends, at the towns of Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe and Livingstone, Zambia. The bridge was the brainchild of Cecil Rhodes, part of his grand and unfulfilled Cape to Cairo railway scheme, even though he never visited the falls and died before construction of the bridge began. Rhodes is recorded as instructing the engineers to build the bridge across the Zambezi where the trains, as they pass, will catch the spray of the Falls. It was designed by George Anthony Hobson of consultants Sir Douglas Fox and Partners, not as is often stated, Sir Ralph Freeman, the same engineer who contributed to the design of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. At the time of the design of the Victoria Falls Bridge, Freeman was an assistant in the firm who, in those pre-computer days, was calculating stresses. The bridge was constructed in England by the Cleveland Bridge & Engineering Company, before being shipped to the Mozambique port of Beira and then transported on the newly constructed railway to the Victoria Falls. It took just 14 months to construct and was completed in 1905. The bridge was officially opened by Professor George Darwin, son of Charles Darwin and President of the British Association (now the Royal Society) on 12 September 1905. The American Society of Civil Engineers lists the bridge as a Historic Civil Engineering Landmark. Constructed from steel, the bridge is 198 metres (650 ft) long, with a main arch spanning 156.50 metres (513.5 ft), at a height of 128 metres (420 ft) above the lower water mark of the river in the gorge below. It carries a road, railway and footway. The bridge is the only rail link between Zambia and Zimbabwe and one of only three road links between the two countries. The Victoria Falls Bridge did not bring the first train or the first railway to Zambia. In order to push on with construction of the railway north as fast as possible, Cecil Rhodes insisted that the Livingstone to Kalomo line be laid before the bridge was finished. Then a locomotive was conveyed in pieces across the gorge by the temporary electronic cableway used for the transportation of the bridge materials and nicknamed the 'Blondin' by the construction engineers. The locomotive was re-assembled and entered service months before the bridge was complete. For more than 50 years the bridge was crossed regularly by passenger trains as part of the principal route between the then Northern Rhodesia, southern Africa and Europe. Freight trains carried mainly copper ore (later, copper ingots) and timber out of Zambia, and coal into the country. The age of the bridge and maintenance problems have led to traffic restrictions at times. Trains cross at less than walking pace and trucks were limited to 30 t, necessitating heavier trucks to make a long diversion via the Kazungula Ferry or Chirundu Bridge. The limit was raised after repairs in 2006, but more fundamental rehabilitation or construction of a new bridge has been aired. During the Rhodesian UDI crisis and Bush War the bridge was frequently closed (and regular passenger services have not resumed successfully). In 1975, the bridge was the site of unsuccessful peace talks when the parties met in a train carriage poised above the gorge for nine and a half hours. In 1980 freight and road services resumed and have continued without interruption except for maintenance. Today one of the Victoria Falls Bridge's main attraction are historical guided tours focusing on the construction of the bridge and which include a walking tour under the main deck. On the Zambian side there is a small museum about the bridge which is free to enter and contains cafe selling refreshments. Also located on the bridge is the Shearwater 111 metres (364 ft) bungee jump including a bungee swing and zip-line. Concerns about safety of the attraction were raised in late 2011 after the bungee's cord snapped and a young Australian woman fell 24 metres (79 ft) into the fast flowing river with many crocodiles. The bridge was originally referred to as the Great Zambesi or Zambezi bridge, later becoming known as the Victoria Falls Bridge.
