Zambezi Zone North

Known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya, "The Smoke That Thunders", Victoria Falls is located on the Zambezi River between Zambia and Zimbabwe. Riders can choose from a variety of activities, ranging from a basic tour of the falls with drenching, jaw-dropping viewpoints, to the world’s third highest bungee jump off the Zambezi River bridge, to ultra-light flights and white-water rafting.

With the falls behind them, cyclists will continue across the thinly populated countryside to Lake Kariba, the world’s largest artificial lake. A ferry will take them across the waters and into Zambia. After a rest day in Lusaka, the country’s capital, the route continues over rolling hills and past ageless baobab trees before taking the riders across the border into Malawi – known as the warm heart of Africa and the section’s end in Lilongwe.
