“It was an incredible experience and they guides made me feel safe and know how to navigate the waters. It would be dangerous to do on your own. They hold your feet so you look out over the edge and use your phone to get photos and videos. The breakfast after was delicious. This is a MUST do if you are in Victoria Falls!”
