Come face to face with Victoria Falls
1 / 6
Visit the mighty Victoria Falls – one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World – and hear stories about the great explorer, Doctor Livingstone, who discovered them back in 1855. Our expert local guide will lead us to a series of viewpoints where we can appreciate this mile-wide wall of water in all its glory, capturing on camera the colossal clouds of mist that rise from the bottom.
Sundowner cruise on the Zambezi
1 / 6
At the top of thundering Victoria Falls is Zambezi River, Africa’s fourth-longest, which flows for 2,574km through six countries. We’ll enjoy a relaxing cruise on these calm waters as the sun goes down, keeping an eye out for wildlife along the way.
Meet the locals in Mpisi
1 / 6
To get a snapshot of traditional Zimbabwean life, we’ll head to Mpisi – a small, rural village close to Victoria Falls. The warm and friendly locals here live in thatched huts, and we’ll learn all about their customs and age-old farming techniques.
Animal encounters in Chobe National Park
1 / 6
Strap into a 4WD with expert rangers in tow and head out into the savannahs and woodland. With three game drives in total (two in the morning, one in the afternoon) forming part of your itinerary, you'll have a great chance of spotting the elusive Big Five.
Cruising Chobe River
1 / 6
Start the day with a relaxing river cruise as the sun rises above Chobe River. Keep an eye out for wildlife in and out of the water – including hippos, crocodiles, elephants and more than 450 species of birds.
Chobe River from the sky
1 / 6
We'll swap the savannahs for the skies on this exhilarating morning excursion, which sees us take flight in a light aircraft for a birds-eye view of Chobe River and the rest of the park. If we're lucky, we'll spot hippos lounging in the water and crocodiles sunbathing on the banks.
