How to discover and enjoy thrilling adventure activities in Zambia?

What comes to your mind when you hear the name of the country Zambia? Incredible National Parks? Beautiful scenery of nature? Well, yes! All these are true, but did you know Zambia is equally great for adventure? This is why adventure seekers from all around the world visit Zambia. 

So, if you are also an adventure seeker who would love to try out adventures that you won't get to do in any other part of the world, Zambia invites you with love. 

-Zambia and adventures 

Thanks to the Victoria Falls area and Zambezi River region, Zambia is blessed with the ideal spots for average and extreme adventures. Even if you plan to spend a luxurious holiday at a property such as Avani Victoria Falls Resort, you will be directed to various adventures (if you wish to) and these adventures are sure to make your holiday much more memorable. 

Zambia is a great destination that offers the perfect opportunities for adventures throughout the year. But if you wish to try out Helicopter rides, white-water rafting, bungee jumping, abseiling and under-spray tours, adverse weather conditions could be an issue. Most of these adventures may be closed to the public when raining. 

Note- Zambia enjoys the rainy season from November to April. 

-White Water Rafting 

One of the best things to do in Zambia is to experience a white water rafting moment in the Zambezi River (Batoka Gorge to be exact). During perfect weather conditions, white water rafters can enjoy 23 white-water rapids, but when the water levels are high, only around 13 can be attempted. 

What's more? The breathtaking scenery from around comes as a bonus. 

-Abseiling 

It's also called 'rappelling'. It's a fun experience that allows adventurers to see Batoka Gorge from a different perspective. Do not worry about your safety as all the safety equipment will be provided (this includes helmets, safety ropes, harnesses and jackets). 

While you reach the base of the gorge, don't also forget to enjoy the views you are passing. 

-Bungee Jumping 

Those who love extreme adventures love to try out bungee jumps in different locations. But, guess what... nothing will be similar to the one you do off the Victoria Falls Bridge. It's considered one of the highest bridge jumps in the world, and it's all about an inexpressible feeling! 

-Helicopter Flights 

How about exploring the beauty of Victoria Falls from above like a free bird? If you wish to enjoy this moment, you will have to leave your fear of heights and say yes to a helicopter flight over Victoria Falls. Get ready to be amazed by the beauty of nature! 

-A walking safari (getting closer to the wildlife) 

Zambia is blessed with marvellous wildlife, and there's no doubt about it. When you are in Zambia, you may plan for a walking safari in South Luangwa National Park. You will get the rare chance to experience up-close wildlife encounters, but you will be constantly led by expert guides. 

-Connecting with the local tribes 

Adventures come in different faces, and this one is unique. Even the ones with faint hearts can engage in this special adventure, and it's going to be a cultural + educational experience. Zambia has a lot of local tribes (eg- Ngoni, Tonga and Lozi) and when you are there, you can visit them for an amazing cultural experience. 

-Things to know 

Before trying out every activity listed above, make sure you do proper background research. Do proper research on the weather conditions that you may face when you are there (depending on which month of the year you are planning your tour), and book your activity operators much in advance.
