activities for youth
Fun Family Activities:
· Ride elephants- Elephants can be very hard to control, which is why trained professionals do the elephant rides. Usually after a ride on an elephant, people are allowed to pet the elephants and give them small treats. This is available for people of all ages.
· Zip lining- There are multiple zip lines in Zimbabwe, the longest of them all being 425 meters long, and 120 meters high over a river. On this particular zip line, people can reach a speed up to 106 kilometers. This activity is encouraged for both adults and children.
· White Water Rafting- Zimbabwe is considered to have the best stretches of white water rafting in the world. It is offered to everyone, but it is recommended to not bring young children.
· Walk with Lions- In the Walk with Lions tour, people take about an hour-long tour through the lions' habitat. The lions are not leashed; they freely walk around with the group. There is no age requirement for this activity, but there is a 1.5 meter height requirement. Also, guardians must accompany children who are 16 years old or younger.
· Canoeing- Even though Zimbabwe has many rapid stretches for white water rafting, it also has many areas with calm water, which is great for canoeing. This activity is available for all ages.
· Bungee Jumping- The Victoria Falls bridge jump is the third highest in the world. This jump goes down for 111 meters. Although it is not the highest bungee jump in the world, it is the most visited because of the beautiful scenery of Victoria Falls.
Sports
Soccer teams are available for all ages, and most teams are for both boys and girls. Soccer is really the only sport that public teams are offered for. Other sports are played for fun by kids, but leagues and teams are not available.
