1. Visiting two countries during your vacation

One of the great things about a trip to Victoria Falls is that you get to visit two countries in Africa during your vacation, not just one. You can step foot in Zimbabwe, and you can step foot in Zambia. You are going to find a gorgeous scene when you arrive in Victoria Falls, and you are of course going to want to check out the waterfall itself. There are points of interest in that immediate area, and there are many great things to do as you make your way around Victoria Falls.

2. Victoria Falls Bridge

At Livingstone Way is the Victoria Falls Bridge. You certainly want to check out this structure located on the Zimbabwe side. If you are up for bungee jumping there, you can do that, or you can watch other brave souls do it. Bungee jumping sounds fun to me, but I would be wondering out there in nature if all the mechanics of the operation were up to par. What you can make sure you do though is check out the Victoria Falls Bridge.

3.Victoria Falls Snake Park, rafting and zip-lining

If you don’t go bungee jumping, there are still plenty of exhilarating experiences that you can enjoy. You can go river rafting, zip lining, take a helicopter tour and much more. Then there is Victoria Falls Snake Park. It is such an interesting attraction that you don’t want to miss it. The snake park is certainly one of the top 5 attractions in Victoria Falls. You are going to see so many different snakes there that you’ve never seen in person before. Stare down a black mamba and much more.

4.Elephant’s Walk Shopping and Artist’s Village

Elephant’s Walk Shopping and Artist’s Village deserves a spot on the top 5 list, too. Its location is 273 Adam Stander Drive in Zimbabwe, and this is where you go shopping, check out artisan studios featuring local art and of course grab a nice bite to eat. It’s a wonderful cultural experience, and perhaps you will pick up some artwork while you are there. You are going to find all kinds of unique items while there.

5. Skydiving

Did you know that you can also go skydiving while you’re vacationing in Victoria Falls? You can also enjoy scuba diving, horseback riding and kayaking or canoeing, among other things.

Crocodile Ranch Victoria Falls

Crocodile Ranch is another top attraction, and like the snake park, it should be quite fun and a unique adventure. You can also get some fishing experiences in while you’re in Victoria Falls, too.

Explore Victoria Falls

Have you ever been on an African Safari Tour? There are plenty to choose from in Victoria Falls. According to reviews, one of the best is the Wild Horizons Elephant Sanctuary. It is a great way to get up close and personal with the elephants. You are certainly going to see all kinds of wildlife while you are in Victoria Falls, as you can tell. Ride an elephant when you enjoy this safari adventure, and you get to feed them, too.

Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe

As a general rule of thumb, you might want to plan on checking out all that Victoria Falls National Park has to offer, too. It certainly needs to be listed individually as one of the top 5 attractions in Victoria Falls. Make your way to Livingstone Island and much more.

These 5 top things to do and bonus suggestions make for a great vacation in Victoria Falls. Reviewers aren’t shy about calling this a bucket list type vacation. You are going to be amazed, and I hope that you get to check out all of the listed attractions. Be sure to stop by the Artist’s Village so that you can pick up some great souvenirs to take home with you.
