Three, two, one — bungee! Be a risk taker and jump for an unforgettable adrenaline rush at the Victoria Falls Bridge on the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia.

Earning a spot on the Seven Natural Wonders of the world, the picturesque Victoria Falls stands 335 feet high and approximately a mile long. The beautiful blue water cascading down flows, on average, 33,000 cubic feet per second. This impressive waterfall makes the perfect backdrop to videos of jumpers risking it all when diving head first.

This 708-foot jump over the stunning rapids of the Zambezi River from the Victoria Falls Bridge is the highest commercial bungee jump in all of Africa, making this adventure any thrill seeker’s dream and is most certainly not for those who fear heights. The actual fall only lasts about four seconds and may end with a nice dip in the cool flowing water depending on the tides.

Before taking the trip to this location, make sure you have your passport with you. Since the bridge is on the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia, border patrol officers are required to check your credentials.

To jump, you must be at least 14 years old and weigh a minimum 88 pounds. Depending on the tides, the maximum weight is 308 pounds when the water is low and 286 pounds when waters are high. This pumped-up experience costs $160 with ShearWater.
