    More impressive viewed from Victoria Falls Zimbabwean side.
    We walked over this iconic bridge when we crossed from the Victorian Falls Township Zimbabwe to view the falls from the Zambian side and to visit to David Livingstone Museum and the impressive Royal Livingstone Hotel. There is a good view from Wild Horizons Lookout Café and definitely worth visiting for the delicious food. But, it makes for better viewing from inside the Vic Falls National Park, just make sure you take your trusty raincoats and protection for your camera….yes, we got “the smoke” on the way over but not on the way back! It was an easy walk and no queues to either depart Zimbabwe (make sure you purchase the multi visa on your way in @ the airport to cover you going into Zambia and returning to re-enter Zimbabwe 😊 Us Aussies no longer have to pay to enter Zambia just get the Visa stamp in our passports….bonus! The Zambian side of the falls were definitely worth seeing just not as impressive as from the Zimbabwean side. Again on our trip back over the bridge there was no need to queue @ either stop, not even interested if we had foodstuffs but the big challenge was getting back to Victoria Falls township without being harassed by the locals selling their souvenirs….it was relentless….although not quite as aggressive as the Egyptians!!! Some useless trivia, the engineer who was responsible for the design of this bridge also designed the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

    Take your camera
    After seeing Victoria Falls at via the national park viewpoints, I wasn't done. There are some awesome views to be photographed from the bridge. Don't forget to point your camera to both sides of the bridge. There isn't much else there besides bungi jumping and a vendor or two, however, the crossing is worth it.

    A STORIED PAST
    Completed in 1905, the bridge joins Zambia and Zimbabwe. You get good distant views of it from the national parks in both countries. It was part of Cecil Rhodes’ Cape to Cairo railway dream. There is only one lane of traffic at a time plus a railway line. You can walk the bridge, seeing rapids below. Train dinners from both countries spend some time on the bridge before pulling back for dinner. For those not faint of heart you can bungee jump from the bridge.

It's a metal bridge that's looks remarkable considering its age. There's a rope dangling from the middle. They may offer seasonal bungee jumping.

We walked into Zambia after a helicopter flight over the Falls. Worth having yellow fever certificates in case asked for them and will need passports too. Bridge was very busy with vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Lorries carrying massive loads. Ladies carrying large loads on their heads. Fascinating walk with decent views of the Falls. The bridge is about 2 k from town and is about 1 and half k over and back. Can be done easily in sandals but walking shoes probably preferable.

To really appreciate and understand the greatness of this site, you have to visit it. Pictures and e wereIt’s can’t describe it. It’s truly amazing.
A tip: visit the fdd as los from both countries, Zimbabwe and Zambia. Very different points of view from each site. Get ready to get drenched, not wet!

When you walk between Zambia and Zimbabwe, this bridge over the Zambezi with views to the Falls and second gorge is right after the Zambian border. A nice walk, but be prepared for hawkers selling water, souvenirs: a friendly "maybe later" has them leaving you in peace. Of course, don't forget your passport and make sure you get a Kaza visa when first arriving in Zambia which enables you to cross into Zimbabwe multiple times for 30 days.

Essential walk when moving between Zambia and Zimbabwe. Great longer distance view of the Falls. Go earlier in the day to avoid the heat. Have your resistance mode on because you're going to get accosted by many hawkers selling copper bangles, wooden products, etc. Check out the bungee swing!

The fun part is watching the bungie jumpers on the bridge, it's kinda cool to watch them get hooked up then free fall off the bridge. Half way across there is a sign saying your entering Zambia, at the end of the bridge you can see a section of the falls.

Stunning location and the Bungee jumping is amazing. With the views of the falls and the gorge, couldn’t think of a better location to bungee.

Historical structure across a deep gorge next to Victoria Falls. Worth a visit. It can also be viewed from the historic Victoria Falls Hotel, a reminder of past years.

A landmark and a fast connection between Zim and Zam. Easy to cross. The views are an additional bonus.
