Things to do & see in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe

Most of you visit Victoria Falls or have it on your bucket list because it’s one of the seven wonders of the world, I did too. We really focused more on seeing the falls and don’t take into account what other activities to do while there. Most often than not, you booked yourself in a 4 to 7-day stay at a hotel but got no clue on what else to do while there.

During my stay in Victoria falls, I used the Shearwater Victoria Falls company for my activities. Their prices are at market price in the Victoria Falls area. Here are a few activities you can try with them. I’ve added the prices and direct links to each activity to make your planning easier.
