Cancellation and booking

Practical details

Guiding is offered in English. A mobile ticket is accepted, so there is nothing to print. Bookings are taken for up to 15 travellers at a time. The operator may cancel for bad weather, in which case you are offered another date or a refund. The departure can also be cancelled if too few people book.

Where this fits in your trip

The gorge below the falls is the centre of Zimbabwe’s adventure industry. Water levels dictate what runs: rafting is at its biggest in the low-water months and may not operate at all in full flood. Victoria Falls town sits on the Zimbabwean bank of the Zambezi, a short walk from the rainforest viewpoints and close enough to the gorge that the spray is visible from the main street in full flood. Most visitors base themselves here for two or three nights and fill the days with a mix of water, air and game viewing.
