Begin your adventure in the beautiful Southern African country of Zimbabwe, home to the spectacular famous African waterfall known as Victoria Falls. Embark on adventurous activities that will allow you to explore the falls and be one with African nature. It lies roughly half way down the Zambezi River, and is the largest curtain of falling water in the world, at 1708m wide, and occurs at a point where the Zambezi River is more than 2km wide. The falls has the local name of ‘Mosi-oa-Tunya’, which means ‘smoke that thunders’ and the beauty of the thundering water makes it easy to understand why it is one of the seven wonders of the world.

Enjoy a guided tour of the Falls as you discover one of the seven natural wonders of the world, ending the tour with a view of the cascading Victoria Falls. End your trip with a sunset cruise along the Zambezi River and witness the sun tucking away beneath the Zimbabwean landscape. A true awe-inspiring experience.

Chobe National Park

Be captivated by the amazing wildlife and scenery set beyond the region of Chobe National Park. Chobe is one of Botswana’s most famous parks and a place to witness striking games. It stretches over 11700 square km of land and is home to one of the largest concentrations of elephants on the African continent. There are no fences within the park, meaning that wildlife and game are able to roam freely. Watch elephants drink and bathe in the river with their families, view hippos out of water in the middle of the day, and observe the Puku and Chobe Bushbuck antelopes – which cannot be encountered anywhere else in Botswana.

Explore the park on a morning game drive conducted in an open safari vehicle as you view the wildlife waking up after an eventful night. Spot herds of elephants, lions, zebras and other game getting ready to hunt for their morning breakfast. Cruise along Chobe river on a boat cruise with a chilled drink in hand and relax while admiring the view of Chobe National Park, a photographic moment to capture.; Victoria Falls Hotel

Night Game Drives

Night drives are a completely different experience from daytime game drives. The night safari vehicles are equipped with spotlights to scan the bush and pick out nocturnal creatures that you would not be able to find any other time of day. The darkness heightens your other senses, and adds thrill to the experience. Night safaris are mostly about the smaller species that would otherwise go unnoticed; discover bush babies, genets and small felines under the cover of starlight.
