One CrossingAdrenalineGorge-Edge

Victoria Falls Zip Line

Clip in, step off the platform and fly across the Batoka Gorge on a steel cable strung high above the Zambezi — a fast, straightforward crossing with one of the best views in the gorge and none of the freefall of the swing.

The Batoka Gorge at Victoria Falls, setting for the Zip Line

Overview

Trip Overview

The Victoria Falls Zip Line sends you across the Batoka Gorge on a single steel cable, clipped into a full-body harness with a guide controlling the crossing from the platform. It’s one of the most accessible of the gorge-edge activities — no freefall, no jumping, just a fast, exhilarating glide with an unmatched view straight down into the gorge and the Zambezi below.

Because it’s a self-contained, short activity, it’s easy to combine with other gorge activities in a single visit — or to book as a standalone add-on to a Victoria Falls itinerary.
