Victoria Falls High Wire Activities
High Wire Activities Have you ever looked up into the sky and thought that you would love to be able to fly like a bird! Glide through gorges or swoop down over the river. Well this no longer has to be a dream.... These like the bungee jump are for the total Adrenaline Junkie. The gorge swing especially is terrifying and why people pay to do it I am not quite sure, but they do...It will simply blow you away! Basically there are four main high wire activities.. Abseiling: the most gentle of the high-wire stunts, get clipped in and descend at you own pace down the side of of a sheer 120m cliff into the remarkable gorges below the Falls. Flying Fox: get clipped into a harness attached to a horizontal wire across the gorge, 125m above the valley floor, and then fly across the gorge. Foofie Slide: this is a variation of the above but the wire is at an angle so you head down hill at speeds of over 100km/h. It is also twice the distance as flying fox. Gorge Swing: leave your stomach behind and only for the totally insane, get clipped to a wire and jump off - free fall 70m and then swing in an arc of 100m as the wire becomes taught. There are two
separate companies doing this. Zambezi Adrenaline Company (also do the Bungee and are affiliated to
Shearwater
) operate off the Victoria Falls bridge (passport required) and
Wild Horizons
in the gorges a little further down river (no passport required).
* Minimum age 10 years
