The bridge at a glance
The Victoria Falls Bridge spans the Batoka Gorge below the falls and connects Victoria Falls Town in Zimbabwe with the Zambian side near Livingstone. The operator dates its construction to 1904 to 1905. It is not the same as the Knife-Edge Bridge, which is a footbridge to viewpoints on the Zambian side.
Four activities run from the bridge: a bungee jump, a swing, a slide and a tour of the gantries beneath it. This guide is independent. The prices below are one operator's listed 2026 figures, so confirm them before you book.

What each activity involves
Details that affect how you plan the day.
Bungee jump
The jump is 111 m. Jumps pause in rain and strong wind, so keep your plan flexible. The operator's pages give a transfer fee of $12 in one place and $17 in another, and a duration of 1 hour or 15 to 20 minutes. Ask which applies to your booking.
Bridge swing and slide
The swing and the slide are priced per person, with tandem rates. For the swing, one section of the operator's page lists age 10 and over and 40 to 180 kg solo. Another lists age 14 and over and 40 to 140 kg solo. Tandem is listed up to 180 kg. Confirm the limit that applies to you.
Historic bridge tour
The tour lasts about two hours on the walkways under the bridge. Check-in is 30 minutes before departure, and a harness and equipment are included. A local transfer costs $12 extra. The operator sets the minimum age at 10 years, while one reseller lists 6, so ask before you book with children.
Passport, border and access
The bridge is a border.
Bring your passport
Take your passport for identification and for the bridge pass procedure. A bridge pass is not proof of visa-free entry to the neighbouring country. If you cross completely, you need the right visa for the other side.
Visa rules and the KAZA Univisa →Border hours
Sources differ. A trip report from July 2026 lists the Victoria Falls border as open from 06:00 to 22:00, while another listing says 06:00 to 18:00. Confirm the hours on the day and do not plan a tight connection.
Closures
The bridge has been announced as closed to vehicles for events before. If you plan to cross by car, check the situation locally.
Planning your day on the bridge
Timing and weather decide more than price.
Book a flexible day
Bungee jumping pauses in rain and strong wind. If the jump is the main reason for your trip, keep a spare day. Do not schedule it just before a flight.
Registration
The operator describes registration near the bridge. Arrive early enough to register, show your passport and take the briefing. The bridge tour asks you to check in 30 minutes before the 10:00 or 14:30 departure.
Combining with the falls
The bridge sits close to the falls, so you can pair an activity with a visit to either side. Entry to the falls is paid separately on each side. See the guides to the Zimbabwe side and the Zambia side.
A calmer option
If you do not want to jump, the historic bridge tour is the calmer option. You walk on the gantries beneath the structure, with the gorge below you and the harness and equipment provided.
Plan the rest of your trip
Both sides of the falls.
Victoria Falls Bridge: frequently asked questions
How high is the Victoria Falls bungee jump?
The operator lists a 111 m jump. Do not treat that as the height of the whole bridge structure.
How much does the bungee jump cost?
$194 per person in 2026, with a minimum age of 14 and a weight range of 40 to 120 kg. Check whether a transfer fee applies to your booking.
Is the bungee jump safe?
Jumps pause in rain and strong wind, and you get a briefing and equipment from the operator. An accident is on record from New Year's Eve 2011, when a jumper survived a cord break. It was reported in January 2012 and says nothing about the current rate. Judge an operator by its current briefing and equipment checks.
Can I walk across the bridge?
The bridge connects the two border posts, so you pass immigration on both sides. Take your passport and check the visa rules for each country first.
Do I need a visa for the bridge activities?
Take your passport for identification and the bridge pass. The pass does not replace a visa if you cross fully into the other country. See travel tips for the KAZA Univisa and the entry rules.
