The usual method of animal watching is from an open-topped Land Rover, but walking and canoeing tours are also available. As a precaution, no more than six may make up a walking party and the guide will be armed.
Nocturnal safaris are also possible.
Native wildlife includes buffalo, elephant, antelope, lion, zebra, rhino, hippopotamus and crocodile. Birdwatching enthusiasts may head to Lochinvar , where 400 different species have been recorded. Scenic flights in micro-light aircraft offering aerial views of the falls are also available. Whitewater rafting trips on the Zambezi are considered particularly wild. Longer and quieter river trips lasting from one to seven days usually follow the Victoria Falls-Lake Kariba itinerary, with Lake Kariba also offering the possibility to relax for a week on a luxurious houseboat .
