Spend an amazing 3 nights in wonderful Victoria Falls town at the edge of the mighty Zambezi River which marks the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia.
On arrival at Victoria Falls International Airport you’ll be met and transferred to your accommodation in the heart of town, perfectly positioned to stroll to the markets, cafes, restaurants and shops. It will be a quick turnaround, so get ready quickly for your sunset cruise on the Upper Zambezi River – with an open bar and a party vibe, finger food is provided and you might even see elephants, hippos or crocs along the way. A more sedate dinner cruise option is available for + $60 if preferred.
Day 2
Next morning we’re up bright and early to take the vintage-style Bamba Tram through Zambezi National Park (eyes peeled for wildlife) for a spectacular sunrise on the iconic Victoria Falls Bridge which spans breathtaking Batoka Gorge. Here in no-mans land between Zimbabwe and Zambia, you’ll enjoy light refreshments on the bridge as you admire the raging Zambezi River below and watch the sky turn orange with the rising sun. After breakfast back at your accommodation it’s time for the main event ….. a guided visit to Victoria Falls National Park to gaze upon Mosi Oa Tunya “the smoke that thunders” …. that’s the local name for the mighty waterfalls, and it’s easy to see why. In the afternoon, fly through the treetops on the Wild Horizons Canopy Tour, a series of 9 ziplines traversing the gorge with spectacular views throughout ! Suspended high above the forest floor, and led by experienced guides, participants glide along the 40–85 metre zip lines and across suspension bridges, between towering trees and with panoramic views of the lush vegetation below, Batoka Gorge and the mighty Zambezi River. Day 3 Today is free to kick back and relax by the pool, visit the markets in town or pre-book any of the many exciting activities available in the area (listed below). We’ll pre-book any activities you might like to do, with pick up and drop off included – just take your pick from below. Choose a full day safari across the border to Botswana’s legendary Chobe National Park (a MUST for elephant lovers), an exciting white water rafting adventure on the Zambezi River, adrenaline activities such as bungee jumping or jetboating, helicopter sightseeing … there is so much to see and do. If you’re here between mid August and mid January, then don’t miss the Livingstone Island trip with an unforgettable swim in Devil’s Pool or Angel’s Pool at the very edge of the falls.

Day 4 On your final morning in Vic Falls, what better farewell to Africa than by experiencing the amazing “Through the Eyes of an Elephant” – an opportunity to get up close and personal with elephants in the most positive and natural way possible at a local sanctuary. Then after an amazing few days in this unique part of Africa we’ll whisk you to the airport in time for your departure flight in early afternoon. |
