Voluntourism – Self-help
Community Schools
If you are a traveller who is interested in
immersing in the local Zambian culture,
while simultaneously making a positive
impact, you can get involved with
African Impact (AI), an organisation
which works with volunteers on
community funded projects, such as
schools, to provide the much needed
assistance such as teaching and health
staff, caregivers or simply a financial or
resource donation.
Batoka Sky Microlights
For a unique experience offering,
breath-taking aerial views of the
Victoria Falls and the spectacular
gorge that the Zambezi River has
carved into the surrounding landscape
over many thousands of years, a ride
on the microlight is sure to dazzle you.
You may even feel like you have been
kissed by an angel as you fly through
the “smoke” of the Victoria Falls.
Livingstone Island –
Swimming at the edge
Join one of the most exclusive clubs on
earth and view the Victoria Falls from
Livingstone Island. A spectacular sight
witnessed from an island miraculously
perched in the very centre of the
raging Zambezi River. Enjoy swimming
at the edge of the Victoria Falls, right
before it plunges steeply, over 100 m
into the gorge.
