Next, admire local artistry at the Victoria Falls Craft Markets, where local artists sculpt works that symbolize African wildlife. After passing the crafts market, cross the Zimbabwean border post and continue walking for about 10 minutes and listen to the impressive, thunder-like crashing of the falls. Then stroll across the Victoria Falls Bridge and experience the breathtaking view of the Falls and of the gorge and Zambezi River. Also included, a stop at a small museum site and admire a small-scale model of the bridge along with historic photos and documentation from the time it was built. Then head back , check out the wildlife on the bush walk once again, and finish where we started and get ready for your 4x4 vulture safari.
We start with a safari around historic landmarks in Victoria Falls, like the train station and the Victoria Falls Hotel. Our licensed safari guide will also point out restaurants, bars, local markets and places of interest you see along the way.
From there we continue our safari though the bush where you will learn of the areas flora and fauna as well as the rich and colorful history and culture of Zimbabwe. After nature and wildlife watching between the town and the Zambezi gorge our tour will include an exciting and brief stop of the view of the gorge and the mighty Zambezi river below. If you are fortunate you can witness high wire activities like the gorge swing or zip line and possible whitewater rafting or the jet boat activity thru the rapids of the Zambezi.
Back on the Safari Jeep we be continuing thru the bush and are looking for more wildlife, before stopping at the big baobab tree. You will have time to take pictures and shop for some local arts and crafts from a small local market next to the tree.
We continue searching for animals on the way to the vulture experience

For the past 19 visitors are welcome to watch the “Vulture Culture” feeding

After a short bush walk down a dirt pathway through dry bush, there’s a “hide” – a viewing deck with concrete benches on which to sit, covered by a canopy of branches for shade.
You first get a briefing on the plight of the endangered birds and their ecological importance
The ugly red-headed birds are hooded vultures, while the others are mainly white-backed vultures.
The feeding we watched attracted more than 200 vultures (typical). And it was all over quite quickly – within 20 minutes or so…

After the feeding is over and the vultures head back into the wild, we will bring you back to your hotel
