Victoria Falls Bridge

The Victoria Falls Bridge spans 198 meters across the Zambezi River, connecting Zambia and Zimbabwe through a steel arch structure at 128 meters height.

The bridge, designed by G.S. Hobson and completed in 1905, fulfilled Cecil Rhodes's vision of linking the regions, with George Darwin leading the inauguration ceremony.

The bridge stands near Mosi-oa-Tunya, meaning 'the smoke that thunders' in local language, where the Zambezi River creates the largest waterfall in Africa.

The structure serves both railway and vehicular traffic, requiring border controls at each end for travelers moving between Zambia and Zimbabwe.

The bridge provides a platform for bungee jumping activities, allowing participants to leap from the center span toward the rushing waters below.
