Where you jump from

The middle of the bridge, on the border

The jump platform sits at the centre of the Victoria Falls Bridge, on the border itself, with Zimbabwe behind you and Zambia ahead. The gorge drops away on both sides and the Zambezi runs 111 metres below, with the spray of the Falls on one side.

It is widely rated one of the most scenic commercial bungee jumps anywhere, and it is the setting, as much as the height, that makes it.

Before the jump

Weigh-in, harness and the one rule

You are weighed and your weight is marked on your hand, which is how the crew choose the right cord. The jump master walks you through the harness, the ankle rig and the two independent attachment points, then explains the one thing that matters: you walk to the edge and you go on their count.

Most people find the walk out to the platform harder than the jump itself.

The jump

Four seconds, then the rebound

It is a head-first dive, roughly four seconds of freefall, before the cord takes the load and you rebound back up the gorge. The rebounds get smaller until you are hanging quietly over the river, which is the part nobody expects to enjoy and almost everybody does.

After the jump

Back to the bridge, and the footage

A crew member is lowered to clip you on, and you are winched back up to the bridge deck. Photographs and video are filmed from fixed positions on the bridge and from the jump itself, and are available to buy afterwards. Allow time to steady your legs before the walk back.

Price and booking

What is included and what to bring

The Victoria Falls bungee jump starts from $203 per person. Bring a valid passport: the bridge sits between the two border posts. Park fees and gratuities are extra. Bookings are made by enquiry, so you can talk to a real person about dates and timing before you pay.

Other ways into the gorge

If bungee is not quite your thing

The Batoka Gorge has other ways to get the same rush. The gorge swing is a freefall into the gorge that ends in a long swing, and the zip line and flying fox carry you across and out over the gorge.
