Discover some of the most interesting landmarks and local experiences around Victoria Falls on a relaxed guided tour combining nature, history, and Zimbabwean craftsmanship.
Begin your experience at the famous Big Tree, a magnificent baobab that has stood in the Victoria Falls area for generations. Take time to appreciate its enormous trunk and distinctive shape while your guide shares stories about the importance of baobabs in the region, their remarkable ability to survive harsh conditions, and their place in local traditions and landscapes. The Big Tree also provides a wonderful opportunity for photographs.
Continue to the historic Victoria Falls Bridge, one of the most recognisable landmarks in the area. Built across the Zambezi River gorge, the bridge connects Zimbabwe and Zambia and has played an important role in the region’s history and development. As you walk across the bridge, your guide will explain how it was constructed and share interesting stories about its history. Stop along the way to admire the dramatic gorge and river below.
The bridge is also well known for its adventure activities, including bungee jumping and other experiences. You can watch the action from a safe viewpoint or simply enjoy the scenery and atmosphere of this remarkable landmark.
Your final stop takes you into the local market, where you can experience a more everyday side of Victoria Falls. Browse stalls filled with handcrafted wooden carvings, stone sculptures, beadwork, paintings, fabrics, souvenirs, and other locally made products. Many of these crafts reflect Zimbabwean wildlife, culture, traditions, and artistic heritage.
Take the opportunity to interact respectfully with local vendors, learn more about the crafts on display, and perhaps choose a special souvenir to take home. Your guide can also help you understand local customs when shopping and communicating with sellers.
This experience brings together three different sides of Victoria Falls: the ancient natural beauty represented by the Big Tree, the history and engineering of the Victoria Falls Bridge, and the creativity of local artisans at the market.
With a local guide leading the way, you’ll hear stories and details that help bring each stop to life while enjoying a comfortable and unhurried experience. It’s an ideal choice for travellers who want to explore beyond the usual Falls viewpoints and discover some of the landmarks, stories, and local craftsmanship that make Victoria Falls special.
