Overview:
Built in 1905 and commissioned by Cecil John Rhodes (who, ironically, never saw it), the Victoria Falls Bridge is more than just a crossing — it’s an architectural marvel and a front-row seat to the power of the Zambezi River. This guided tour takes you across the border (literally and metaphorically), exploring colonial history, engineering brilliance, and present-day thrills.
You’ll walk the catwalk underneath the bridge — harnessed in, of course — with roaring water beneath and spray in the distance.
What’s Included:
Guided walk on the underdeck of the bridge (full safety gear provided)
Insight into the bridge’s construction and the Cape-to-Cairo railway dream
Stunning views of the gorge, the Zambezi River, and (sometimes) the spray of the Falls
Border bridge pass (no visa required if you return immediately)
