Zimbabwe and Botswana: From Victoria Falls to Okavango Delta

Discover the awe-inspiring beauty of Victoria Falls and its unique ecosystem on your own. Set off from your hotel for the Victoria Falls Rainforest and as you get closer to the Falls, see how the landscape changes! Arrive at the stunning spectacle of the largest sheet of falling water in the world. The Victoria Falls thunders from a height of more than one hundred meters over a width of nearly two kilometers – all the while pouring more than five hundred million cubic meters of water per minute down the gorge on Zambezi River. If you are lucky, you may be able to view the Falls enveloped in misty rainbows created by the effect of sunlight on the perpetual spray of water. After taking photos from the most dramatic vantage points, stroll around the site and enjoy its pristine beauty until it is time to head back to your hotel. (Full Day; No guide; No transfers; Entrance fees and meals are not included. Please wear appropriate footwear and clothing).

Immerse yourself in the spectacular landscape of the Victoria Falls on the mighty Zambezi River. Enjoy a range of activities to get to know the region better. Take an exciting helicopter ride over the magnificent waterfall and watch the river waters plunge down in all their mist and glory. Get to know Africa’s gentle giants better at the elephant sanctuary and orphanage by the Masuwe River, near Victoria Falls. Enjoy a breakfast or a sunset cruise down the river on luxury river boats that ply the Zambezi River. Watch islands go by, spot wildlife by the river banks and soak in the tranquil ambience. Relax with refreshing sundowners on the outdoor deck of Buffalo Bar, overlooking the region’s waterholes, as you wait for elephant herds to join you for a sunset drink across the waters. Savor delicious luncheons or alfresco dinners at the popular restaurant, Lookout Cafe, while enjoying the fantastic panoramic view. (Duration: Full Day or Half Day; Self-guided Activity; Fitness level: Easy; Please wear sunblock, sunhat, sunglasses and comfortable walking shoes).

Experience exciting game drives and feel awed by the beauty of Africa on wonderful boat safaris on the majestic Chobe River. Marvel at the beautiful afternoon light and the reflection of the sun as you peacefully glide over the river while enjoying your favorite drink and observing hundreds of elephants along the shores of the river – bathing, drinking, playing and cajoling. This is one of the most memorable safari experiences you will ever have!

Enjoy an incredibly diverse safari experience! Explore the Okavango Delta on exciting game drives in the early morning when the animals are particularly active and in the late afternoon when the sun paints incredible colors on the horizon. You can also enjoy exciting night drives and wonderful bush walks with an experienced guide to stretch your legs and discover the small wonders of nature. A mokoro excursion will take you along the channels and lagoons of the Delta to view game from another perspective.

Spend a day exploring Setari to truly understand and enjoy the expansive concession. Begin your day early with a light breakfast, and set out for your morning activities. Enjoy a relaxing boat ride, or opt for a mokoro, a type of a canoe used in the area. Or you could choose the full day walk, which includes a visit to Jao Village to get a first-hand glimpse of the rural life with its culture and traditions. Return to your camp where you can unwind with a hearty brunch. Spend the next few hours in a leisurely fashion – relax with a swim in the camp’s swimming pool, shop for local artifacts at the curio shop or indulge in a siesta! Following afternoon tea, head for a leisurely boat cruise or lounge in your mokoro. You could also embark on a bush walk and see the local flora. Once you return from your afternoon activity, enjoy a dinner under the stars – weather permitting of course! (Full Day; Fitness Level: Moderate; Please note that guests who opt for the full day walk will only return to the camp at sundowner time.)
