VICTORIA FALLS ZAMBIA AND ZIMBABWE - HOLIDAYS FOR CHILDREN

Best child-friendly activities

1. Guided tour of Victoria Falls Rainforest
   A must-do. Easy walking, lots of viewpoints, rainbows, spray, and monkeys. Take raincoats in high-water season.
2. Zambezi sunset cruise
   Good for most ages, with hippos, crocodiles, birds, and a relaxed boat experience. The lady Livingstone has an ice cream bar. 
3. Victoria Falls Bridge Slide
   A fun introduction to adventure for children from around 6 years, depending on operator and weight rules. Bungee and bridge swing are usually for older teenagers, often 14+.
4. Canopy tour / zipline
   Great for active children who enjoy heights, but check age and weight restrictions before booking.
5. Game drive near Victoria Falls
   A gentle safari option without travelling far. Good for children who want to see wildlife but may not manage long days.
6. Visit the Victoria Falls Theatre / Simunye show
   A lovely evening activity with music, dance, storytelling and culture. Tripadvisor currently lists Victoria Falls Theatre among popular things to do with kids in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe.
7. Boma Dinner & Drum Show
   Fun, lively and interactive, with drumming and local food. Good for families, though very young children may get tired if it runs late. (Zimbabwe and Zambia)
8. Traditional village or cultural tour
   A good educational activity for children, especially if the guide makes it interactive.
9. Helicopter flight over the Falls
   Expensive but unforgettable. Best for children who are comfortable with noise and small aircraft.

    Better for older children, as it is a full day crossing into Botswana. Excellent elephant viewing.
