Victoria Falls Bridge - The Victoria Falls Bridge was constructed in 1905 using cutting-edge engineering techniques. The Historic Bridge Tour offers a voyage across a century of Victorian engineering to the core of Cecil John Rhodes’ dream of a railway stretching from Cape to Cairo.
The Tour features an engaging yet educational presentation on the bridge’s history, breathtaking views of the turbulent waters, rainbows, and the grandeur of the Victoria Falls and Batoka Gorges from the pathways beneath the bridge, and a chance to witness a bungee jump from a close vantage point.

Interesting History and Views - Innovative use of industrial theatre and role play to narrate the history of the bridge and the building thereof.
Very friendly and helpful staff members.

Fun, educational experience! - My wife and I had a fun experience on this tour. It begins with a humorous theatrical explanation of the bridge construction and then moves on to a harnessed trip on the maintenance gantry below the bridge surface. Once you reach the Zimbabwe side of the bridge, you travel back over the top of the bridge on the footpath (right by the bungee jump) and back to Zambia. We highly recommend this trip!

A real & delightful surprise - In all that there is to do around Vic Falls you might easily to miss this unique experience. Don't - unless you're seriously bothered by heights! In an amusing, highly informative and very engaging presentation we were given an unusual angle on the Falls. We learnt about the Victorian engineering pioneers who made this key link in the proposed Cape to Cairo Railway possible and we appreciated, at first hand, the skills and the bravery involved in delivering it. An absolutely unforgettable visit amongst all the excitement offered by one of the world's greatest natural wonders.

Victoria Falls Historical Bridge Tour. A fun experience. - This was a fun experience. The guide, George, was EXCELLENT. He narrated the history of how the bridge was built. He was funny and extremely knowledgeable. We went under the bridge where we were above the river, able to see the falls and experience the details of the bridge. A nice way to spend a few hours.
