Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

You will ride on Segways through the main Victoria Falls town centre past the hustle and bustle of this vibrant cultural hub.

The tour will then take you to the famous " Big Tree" which at 22.4 meters girth towers over its surroundings. It is possibly the biggest and oldest (2000 years old) Baobab tree in the country. There will be ample time to take some photos and have a refreshment.

The tour continues on the road known as Zambezi drive which is almost 4km of river-side views of abundant nature. If lucky, we encounter impalas, bushbucks, buffaloes, elephants, and hippos.

Next stop is the parabolic Victoria Falls Bridge, which connects Zimbabwe and Zambia. It was the inspiration of Cecil Rhodes who envisaged trains "catching the spray of the Falls as they pass" . Apart from the natural wonder, you might see adrenalin junkies jumping off the bridge during the 111m bungee jump!

The Segway tour concludes as you scoot back towards the Victoria Falls Hotel where you learn the history of the oldest hotel in Zimbabwe. There will be time for you to sit back, relax and reflect on the experience you have had before we take you back to your hotel.
