The Victoria Falls Bridge spans the Zambezi River just below Victoria Falls, linking Zimbabwe and Zambia. Completed in 1905, it was part of Cecil Rhodes' unfulfilled Cape to Cairo railway plan. Designed by George Andrew Hobson, the steel bridge features a 156.5-meter central arch and stands 128 meters above the river. It remains a vital transportation link, carrying road, railway, and foot traffic. The bridge has been recognized as a historic civil engineering landmark, with a museum and guided tours highlighting its construction. It is also a popular spot for bungee jumping and zip-lining.

At the End of the Vic Fall trail you will get a wonderful view of the Bridge. To cross the Bridge towards Zambia you need a Visa, same back to Zimbabwe. Keep that in mind.

An amazing beautiful bridge, full of history and a special landscape. It's possible to cross by foot, train, car, bungee jumping or just enjoy the view.

Crossing the border from Zambia to Zimbabwe was a seamless experience. We have the option to walk across the bridge, and if it's too humid, taxis are available for under $10 to cover the entire crossing using two different taxis.
