Botswana & Vic Falls Tour - 7 Nights

Imagine the excitement of spotting a majestic lion silhouetted against the African sunset.

Embark on specially designed game drives tailored for all explorers regardless of age and preferences. For young families shorter drives, engaging narratives, frequent stops for viewing opportunities, and animal and bird encounters will captivate them while ensuring a comfortable, safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.

For the more adventurous venture near and far across the landscape combining both Moremi Game Reserve and the Khwai Concession. Game drives are twice daily comprising a tea & coffee break in the mornings and sundowners in the afternoon.

A drive in the dark back to camp after sunset or a drive out of camp after dinner offers the experience of finding nocturnal wildlife and watching their activities by spotlight. This opportunity to encounter lesser-seen wildlife is sure to be exciting.

Explore the magical waterways of The Okavango using a Mokoro and guided by a professional poling guide.

Traverse the hidden waterways of the Delta aboard a traditional mokoro (canoe), a unique and eco-friendly way to spot hippos basking in the sun and colourful birds flitting through the reeds. The gentle pace and proximity to nature provide ample opportunities for observation and learning.

Walk on the wild side of life and take a stretch. Get in at ground level and learn more about the birds, insects and fauna.

Embark on guided bush walks suitable for all ages, following safe and kid-friendly trails that wind through diverse landscapes. Learn about the fascinating flora and fauna of the Delta, discover animal tracks and hidden gems, and ignite a passion for conservation.

Take a journey to the local village of Khwai and interact and engage with our historic people.

Learn about the ancient traditions of the local community. Seek understanding about their way of life, listen to captivating tales, and participate in interactive activities that showcase their unique arts and crafts whilst appreciating their lives alongside wildlife.

Hop on board with our superlative partner, Helicopter Horizons, for a stunning perspective of the landscape. This bird reaches places where no vehicle (or pedestrian) would dare. Stop on land and enjoy a glass of bubbly to top things off.

All guests at the resort, as well as visitors to the Lodge are invited to enjoy this daily educational activity affectionately referred to as the ‘Vulture Culture’ experience.

This program is for guests at the resort, as well as visitors. It focuses on the ecological importance of raptors and scavengers in order to maintain and to build an overall awareness of conservations issues these birds face. By educating about the feeding habits and conservation of vultures, we are not only creating awareness of the conservations issues that faces these birds, but benefiting their living environment within the area.

The experience occurs daily at 1300hrs in front of the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge, and lasts approximately 30 minutes.

The activity is great for photography and bird identification, and to date is thoroughly enjoyed by guests and visitors.

At 1245hrs, our resident guide gathers the guests sitting at the Buffalo Bar to join him to head to down to the feeding area. Carcasses from The Boma dinner the previous night are thrown out to attract circling vultures. This is an amazing experience as there is activity in the sky at 1245hrs and by 1300hrs – it is heaving with over 100 vultures and other birds of prey.

Situated on the edge of the waterhole at the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge, the Siduli Hide offers guests a chance observe wildlife in a unique way.

A suitably trained and qualified Professional Guide escorts guests into the hide, which is designed to look like a termite mound. This involves a short walk (5 minutes) from the lodge to the hide. Once hidden within, guests wait for a variety of mammal, reptile and bird species to visit the waterhole to quench their thirsts or to sample minerals at the nearby salt-lick.

We recommend early morning and late afternoon trips to the hide. Times will vary slightly with the seasons, but we normally meet set off for the hide at 0615hrs and at 1615hrs in the afternoons.

Time spent in the hide will vary, but we sell it as a minimum of a two hour sit. We confirm on 2 guests and currently we can take a maximum of 6 guests. No children under 16 years allowed (unless special permission is granted).

In the morning, clients will be offered tea/coffee at Vic Falls Safari Lodge, before going into the hide. In the afternoon, we will include soft drinks, mineral water and a limited amount of beer (people need to be in a sober state due to close wildlife interactions). Ideally, the pickup times should be 15 minutes prior to the departure times above.

Please note that due to seasonal changes and the fact that this is an authentic wild experience, we cannot guarantee wildlife sightings. Saying this, the drier it gets, the more chance there is of having some very good close up encounters!

Further points to consider: Guests must be able to sit quietly for long periods of time and should not suffer from claustrophobia! Due to the possibility of close interactions with wildlife, this experience is not for the faint-hearted! This activity is ideal for photographers, small groups and wildlife enthusiasts, who are after a ‘non-touristy” experience.

Rack rate: US$50.00 per person.
