Indigo Safaris Zimbabwe

Indigo Safaris 

Indigo Safaris offers a wide range of day trips and activities from Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe and Livingstone in Zambia, with helicopter rides, rafting, microlight flights, bungee jumping, canoeing, sedate river cruises, game drives in nearby reserves or in neighbouring Botswana, and transfers.

We can also book a range of hand-picked accommodation options.

About Zimbabwe

The majestic Victoria Falls on the Zimbabwean/Zambian border is within easy reach of Chobe National Park, Botswana, by road, has direct flights from Namibia and South Africa, and is a short drive from the excellent Hwange National Park, making it easy to combine destinations in one unforgettable safari itinerary.

The largest sheet of falling water in the world, twice as high as Niagara Falls, and 1,708 metres long, it is the biggest waterfall in the world, and considered one of the seven natural wonders of the world. The rumble of the falls can be heard from up to 40 kilometres away and the spray, up to about half a kilometre high when the Zambezi River is in full flood, can be seen from a distance of almost 50km. 

A guided or unguided tour of the falls on the Zimbabwe side, the longer of the two, takes around two hours. Victoria Falls is an extremely popular destination due to the amazing amount of activities on offer, making it suitable for every type of traveller. Take a helicopter flight or a microlight over the falls for a breath-taking bird's-eye view of Mosi-oa-Tunya - 'The Smoke That Thunders’ or go white-water rafting downstream of the falls for what is considered the best one-day white water rafting in the world. Adrenaline junkies can also gorge swing and bungee jump from Livingstone Bridge.

​For a more sedate experience, canoe the tranquil waters of the Zambezi upstream from the falls to see hippos, crocs, and, if you are lucky, a raft of elephants crossing to the islands in the middle, or take a sundowner cruise with a wildlife guide and observe the life on the river banks whilst enjoying nibbles and sipping a G&T. For more olfactive delights, High Tea at Victoria Falls Hotel, the oldest hotel in the country and a colonial classic, is a must, as is dinner at Jungle Junction. You can browse the outdoor craft market, have dinner on the rails on board the Bushtracks Express, or look for rhinos in a game reserve a few kilometres outside town.

​We work with a range of guest houses and hotels in Victoria Falls town, all well-located for those wishing to have an action-packed stay. 

The Zambezi National Park is a 45-minutes drive away and offers some great wildlife encounters with four of the "Big Five" (no rhinos), and a good variety of plains game. It is also home to a few sublime lodges and tented camps on the sandy river bank or an island. Thus, if you are not fussed about doing lots of activities from town, you can stay up in the national park, enjoy the wildlife, some canoeing, fishing, or river cruising, and then pop into town to see the falls for half a day.

Liquid Adventures

Liquid Adventures 

Unforgettable river rafting adventures on South African rivers for all ages and experience levels await at Liquid Adventures. Fact - You will get wet!

Our Rafting Trips 

Rafting in KwaZulu-Natal takes place on the Umzimkulu river, just outside Port Shepstone, 1.5 hours from Durban on the KZN south coast. The Umzimkulu river has mainly grade 1 and grade 2 rapids, but also boasts a couple of grade 3 challenges, which step up to grade 4 rapids if there has been sufficient rain. The section is regarded as one of the biggest traversable white water south of the Zambezi! 

A 45 minutes drive from Johannesburg, rafting in Gauteng takes place on the Crocodile river, with base at the Lion & Safari Park near Hartbeespoort Dam on R512 where you can also enjoy some game viewing.

This is the River Rafting trip that we do for individuals, families and groups (like birthday parties or bachelor parties) as well as corporates. This outdoor adventure is fine for complete novices who have NEVER even paddled before.

Rafting will be in an inflatable two-man canoe, so you will we in control of your own boat.  Be prepared for a bit of work-out as you will be paddling your own boat. At all times the trip and paddlers will adopt a safety first, safety always and NO compromise mindset, with a when in doubt, get out rule and NO alcohol on the river. 

We can basically take trips on any day - weekdays or weekends, as long as there is sufficient water in the river, and we have at least 4 people for that trip.
