Zimbabwe, Botswana and Zambia

This is the very heart of Africa; Zimbabwe, Botswana and Zambia, where Zambezi becomes “The Smoke that thunders,” Victoria Falls. The stay here includes safari in the Chobe Game Reserve in Botswana. Close encounter with elephants including a ride, if you wish, the Ultimate “Flight of Angels” over the thundering Falls, energetic song and dance, African beat and nice eating.

Your visit her can easily be planned as a part of a South Africa stay. The easiest way to get to Victoria Falls is by plane via Johannesburg.

Day 1

SunsetArrival Johannesburg from Europe in the morning and on to Victoria Falls, a little more than one hour’s flight. Transfer from Livingstone Airport in Zambia to Victoria Falls Safari Lodge in Zimbabwe, only 5 minutes drive from Victoria Falls town. The lodge is set high on a plateau, which forms a natural boundary to the adjacent Zambezi National Park. The lodge is west-facing with an onsite waterhole which attracts elephants, many kinds of antelope and herds of buffalos. Treasured residents include warthogs, banded mongoose, baboons and vervet monkeys. Enjoy the stunning sunset and the distant roar of the thundering falls 4 Km away.
Victoria Falls Safari Lodge, two nights. The lodge has 72 air-conditioned bedrooms, all with bathroom en-suite and private balcony. Wireless access is available throughout the hotel.
We recommend the Boma Restaurant situated in the grounds of the hotel. The Boma is a unique cultural experience. A gastronomic journey filled with sights and sounds accentuated by cultural entertainment by Ndebele performers with vibrant song and dance.

Day 2

There is a lot you can do around the Victoria Falls. You can cruise the Zambezi, go rafting or canoeing, or
try a jet boat. If you want an aerial view of the falls, book a helicopter or a micro light. If you would like an adrenaline kick, try a bungee jump from Victoria Falls Bridge. Or “enjoy” the Flying Fox Slide with a free drop of 70 meters before you start to swing.

The spacious tents have single beds and bathroom en-suite.

Enjoy a quick, early breakfast before the hunt for the Big Five (rhino, elephant, leopard, lion and buffalo) starts in an open land rover. the area is known for its big herds of elephants and antelopes. You will definitely feel the adrenalin pumping when a herd of elephants block the dirt road. Return to the lodge for a late breakfast or brunch. You can spend some time by the pool before the afternoon and night safaris up the Chobe River.
