Day 1: Victoria Falls Upon your arrival at Victoria Falls International Airport in Zimbabwe, you will be met and transferred to your overnight accommodation at the recently renovated A’Zambezi River Lodge, situated directly on the banks of the Zambezi River. At the A’Zambezi River Lodge, warthogs can be seen roaming the lawns and a local resident hippo comes up most nights from the river to graze.

Day 2: Victoria Falls Today you will enjoy a guided tour of Victoria Falls. This is the world's largest waterfall! The locals call it 'The Smoke That Thunders', referring to the mist cloud that can be seen from a long distance away. The sound is deafening; the spray is drenching; the scenery is awe-inspiring. Victoria Falls is located at the meeting point of four African countries and, as one of the seven wonders of the world, is truly a majestic sight to behold. While it is neither the highest nor the widest waterfall in the world, its height-to-width ratio makes it the largest sheet of falling water anywhere on Earth. This evening, enjoy a dinner at the Boma: an unforgettable African experience infused with Zimbabwe cuisine. The Boma- Place of Eating- is fast becoming a “Must Do” when in Victoria Falls. Partially open to the African skies, it offers a unique experience that bombards the senses with the tastes, sights, sounds and smells of Africa – together with the warmth and hospitality of Zimbabwe and its people. *** (B, D)

Day 3: Victoria Falls This second day to enjoy the falls area includes both a breakfast cruise on the Zambezi River as well as an afternoon scenic Helicopter Ride over the falls for a birdseye view at this world wonder. This flight is often the highlight of your stay at the Falls! Overnight again at A’Zambezi River Lodge. *** (B)

Day 4: Victoria Falls-Chobe National Park This morning, you will cross the border into Botswana and enter Chobe National Park on safari. On Botswana’s far northern border lies the Kwando, Linyati, and Chobe river system forming a series of lakes, islands, and floodplains. This area forms Chobe National Park, famous for its large buffalo and elephant herds. In addition to a variety of predators, there is an abundance of wild game and birdlife that decorate these beautiful waterways. Your home for three nights is at Elephant Valley Lodge, with meals and daily safari game drives included. Accommodation is in 20 luxury Safari tents, each with en-suite facilities.  *** (D)

Day 5-6: Chobe National Park For two days you are ‘on safari’ thoughout Chobe National Park, which hosts one of the largest concentrations of wildlife in Africa. The park is the best place in the world to see the majestic African elephant, as it is home to the world’s largest elephant population- upwards of 50,000! Other resident wildlife includes large numbers of Cape Buffalo, Rhinos, Hippos, Crocodiles, and a variety of antelope species. The Chobe River is a premier watering spot, especially in the dry season. There you will sight numerous Elephant groups, as well as families of Giraffe, Sable, and Cape Buffalo. *** (B, D daily)
