Journeying north, we’ll spot elephants in Hwange National Park, hippos wallowing in the Chobe River and feel nature’s full force at Victoria Falls.

Itinerary
Please note
- The Zambezi river levels are dependent upon rains further north and can fluctuate between seasons. From April to October the flow of water is generally lower than at other times, yet this in turn generates less spray, giving you a clearer view of Victoria Falls.
- On this tour in 2025, you’ll say goodbye to your local Saga tour manager for South Africa as you board Rovos Rail. You'll then have the train’s guide on hand before you meet your new local Saga tour manager on arrival in Victoria Falls.
