High Wire Gorge Activities

About the Adventure

Experience the ultimate adrenaline rush with Wild Horizons' High Wire Gorge Activities, set 120 meters (394 feet) above the Zambezi River in the dramatic Batoka Gorge, Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. Unlike bridge activities, these are entirely on the Zimbabwean side, meaning no passport or border crossing is needed for guests already in Zimbabwe. Choose from three exhilarating options: - **Flying Fox** — Glide across the gorge in a 'superman' pose, suspended by a cable 120-125 meters (394-410 feet) above the Zambezi River. This almost-horizontal cable ride offers a thrilling sensation of flight over approximately 200 meters (656 feet) of the gorge. It's the gentlest option, perfect as a warm-up or for those seeking a less extreme aerial adventure. Ideal for all ages (minimum 6 years old) and a great introduction to gorge activities. - **Zip Line (Foofie Slide)** — Accelerate downhill at speeds over 100 km/h (66 mph) on an angled cable spanning 425 meters (1,394 feet) across the gorge, 120 meters (394 feet) above the Zambezi River. This genuinely exhilarating experience can be enjoyed solo or in tandem, offering breathtaking panoramic views as you soar through the air. Often cited as one of the longest zip lines in the world, it's a must-do for thrill-seekers. - **Gorge Swing** — The most intense activity on site. Take a heart-pounding leap from a 120-meter (394-foot) cliff platform, free-falling around 70 meters (230 feet) before swinging out away from the rock in a vast, 95-meter (312-foot) pendulum arc, 120 meters (394 feet) above the Zambezi River. This extreme adventure can be experienced solo or in tandem, providing an unforgettable adrenaline surge and unparalleled views of the Batoka Gorge.
