Victoria Falls Bridge — Attraction in Southern Province

The Victoria Falls Bridge walk provided a great insight into the design and construction of the largest bridge construction in the world, circa 1905. The bridge crosses the Zambezi river, near the Victoria Falls and was part of our tour to Victoria Falls. The river forms the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia. We undertook a walking tour both under and over the bridge. The bridge also provides a platform for bungee jumping, a bungee swing and zip-line. We started the tour with George Andrew Hobson, aka Prince, the bridge designer who re-enacted his time in the 1900’s, describing the design, construction and logistics of delivering this 198m long and 128m high structure. Prior to undertaking the tour, we were kitted out with safety equipment that allowed us to remain safely in constant connection with the bridge. We were treated to a running dialogue, response to questions and an unusual visit by some friendly baboons that kept their distance. The photographic opportunity from this vantage point was amazing as evidenced by the accompanying photograph. Prince, now our 2024 guide kept us safe, informed, and entertained with his banter. ...

A product of the brilliance of the late Victorian era,this engineering marvel of the Great British Empire helped to connect nations and people.

Walking from Zimbabwe to Zambia is a tiny adventure in itself as you follow in the footsteps of great men such as Dr James Livingston.

This will allow you to walk from Victoria falls town into Zambia,to Livingston...

One of the 7 natural wonders of the world, the Mosi-oa-Tunya/Victoria Falls is the world's greatest sheet of falling water and significant worldwide for its features and active land formation processes with outstanding beauty attributed to the falls i.e. the spray, mist and rainbows. The flow was highest in the month of July and it is nearly impossible to view the falls at some view points due to the spray created by the gushing falls. I have never seen such a magical site in my life. There are 16 different view points to view the falls and still it feels that there is more to see because of the massive width of the falls. Zimbabwe is the best country to view the falls but Zambia is also the best country to view the top of the falls. One needs to visit Victoria falls town in Zimbabwe or Livingstone town in Zambia to witness this...
