★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 12 reviews · 8 hours · from $150Our pick

Spend eight hours exploring Victoria Falls with an English-speaking guide, then pause for lunch at Lookout Café, visit the bridge and Big Tree, and enjoy high tea at Victoria Falls Hotel. Guides such as Simon, Locks, and Brighton have led this route, though your guide is not guaranteed.

“It was an incredible experience and they guides made me feel safe and know how to navigate the waters. It would be dangerous to do on your own. They hold your feet so you look out over the edge and use your phone to get photos and videos. The breakfast after was delicious. This is a MUST do if you are in Victoria Falls!”
