For those with the courage, the rapids immediately downstream offer some of the most terrifying white water rafting anywhere in the world. Several companies now offer one and two day trips on this stretch of the river, while the more adventurous can take a week long journey all the way to the mouth of Lake Kariba. Other activities in the Falls region are Bungee Jumping, Hot air baloon rides over the falls, safari Drive in national Game park, Casinos, Discotheque, Sundowner Cruise along the mighty Zambezi river and for the photo fanatic - Flight of Angles ( a small plane flies you for 15 minutes over the falls)
There is also a spectacular excursion to be made on foot. The Rainforest on the lip of the chasm opposite the Falls is a unique swathe of dense tropical vegetation which thrives on the spray thrown up throughout the year. A well-kept path takes tourists on a walk through the forest,with occasional diversions to viewing points for the Falls themselves.But the ultimate view of this natural wonder can only be seen from the air.The 'Flight of Angels' provides a fabulous vista of the upstream river and its many islands,the spray from the Falls as it is kicked a thousand feet into the sky, and the tortuous zig-zag of the gorge downstream.
