2 Nights

Victoria Falls

Angels in their flight! This is how David Livingstone described the breathtaking Victoria Falls, where five million cubic meters of water cascade over every minute during wet season. Hear the roar and see the spray upon approach. Experience the falls by helicopter or canoe amongst hippos and crocodiles. Located on the river’s banks, explore Zambezi National Park; Matetsi, home to elephant, buffalo, lion, leopard, giraffe and zebra, hippo, crocodile and iridescent birds such as bee-eaters, storks, herons, kingfisher and, fish eagles.

Included activities

Sundowner Cruise on Zambezi Royal

Discover the fascinating ecosystems along the upper Zambezi river during a sundowner cruise onboard Zambezi Royal. After a busy day admiring the beauty of Victoria Falls, embark on the twin hull luxury vessel at the Wild Horizons’ jetty. As the waterfall spray creates a gentle haze in the background, head into the beautiful sunset beyond. Find a comfortable spot, and enjoy your ride on the well-appointed boat, decked with modern amenities. Luxurious furnishing in soft earthy tones complement the tangerine sunset hues. Amid the stillness of the river and the boat whirs, the captain’s commentary on the life and people of Zambezi will keep you entertained. Spot a variety of game such as crocodiles, hippos, elephants and giraffes, and a profusion of beautiful birdlife. Sup on an impressive selection of wines and spirits on board. You’ll also be served a range of gourmet hot and cold hors d’oeuvres.

Scenic Helicopter Flight over Victoria Falls

It’s hard to resist the thrill that this 12-minute helicopter ride over the Victoria Falls offers. As you ride in a specially designed helicopter, complete with bubble-shaped windows to ensure seamless viewing and interesting photographic opportunities, witness the majestic falls set against the lush greenery of the surrounding Zambezi National Park. The pilot will bank and circle over the immense wall of water to give you the best possible views. The flight proceeds over the seemingly lazy Zambezi River, in direct contrast to the impatient falls, and thereafter above the Zambezi National Park for a glorious perspective of the environment.

The trip was planned perfectly from beginning to the end. We were notified of any changes to the schedule based on delayed flights etc. It is a real advantage to have Enchanting Travels make the arrangements that allowed us to speed through customs and visa checks. Our drivers were always there waiting for our arrival so no time wasted waiting. Just the ease of the logistics that comes with traveling with Enchanting Travels keeps up going back to them when we are planning a trip. The experiences were beyond words. Our game drive guides were exceptional in getting us to where the animals were so we could enjoy seeing cheetah cubs at play while mom watched, lion cubs playing while a group of lioness’s napped in the sun and two male lions did the same. The most incredible sight was watching a group of 6 lioness’s separate a female buffalo and her calf and going on to taking them both down. It was like watching a Nat Geo film but we were there within 30 yards to watch. Our accommodations were top notch, staff everywhere we were were exceptional, and the settings were all different but wonderful. Our trip coordinator was in constant contact just to check in and see if there was anything we needed her to do. The Trip Agent App, our first time using it, was a very nice feature and was so much easier to use rather than pulling out a hard copy of the trip to find the answer to our questions. I wasn’t sure if I would use it or not but became dependent on it. Traveling doesn’t get any better if you travel with Enchanting Travels. We will be back!

Enchanting exceeded our expectations by a wide margin. They built the itinerary that was perfect for us and were with us throughout the entire trip checking in on us and handling any issues that could possibly arise (like a delayed flight that had a trickle effect). The staff were all over and above attentive and caring. The app they have you use is surprisingly excellent and helpful. Can’t say enough about this travel company. It’s the way to go.

We have travelled to three different countries with the assistance of Enchanting Travels, most recently to Namibia. Each experience has been positive. Namibia was wonderful to visit and our trip was enhanced with the help and coordination of Danielle and Meghan (and undoubtedly so many others who are behind the scene). Our itinerary was individualized and catered to what we value and request. Our trip coordinator, Meghan, is so professional, prompt, and very invested in us having a wonderful experience. The in country guides and excursion companies Enchanting Travels has connected us with have been top notch. The new Trip Agent app which details the trip itinerary is fabulous! We highly recommend Enchanting Travels and are already working with Danielle to plan a trip to Egypt!

This was our first trip with Enchanting Travels and I could not make a higher recommendation. From the time of planning to execution of our trip to Southern Africa, the service was excellent. The attention to detail of every aspect of our trip was outstanding. The trip was seamless, from transportation to accommodations. It was comforting to have a connection in Africa who met with us online prior to the trip and was available throughout our journey. The app with all of our travel plans and documents made the trip stress free. We plan to use Enchanting Travels again in the future.
