Activity Description

Journey through over 100 years of history in this engaging, theatrical, and educational tour. Built between 1904 and 1905 the Bridge is one of Victoria Falls most prominent landmarks.

The Shearwater Bridge Tour, led by our enthusiastic team of guides, takes you through the history of this remarkable structure, from its design and initial prefabrication in England, to its construction in Africa.

The bridge, an engineering masterpiece and revolutionary for its time, was central to Cecil John Rhodes’ vision of a Cape to Cairo railway and its history is entertaining, tragic, and transfixing in equal measure.
