Vic Falls & Chobe Explorer

You will arrive at Victoria Falls Airport, where you will complete border formalities before meeting your driver in the arrivals hall. You will be met in time-honoured style with the ubiquitous welcome notice, and transferred to the lodge. On this first afternoon you will enjoy a cruise on the Zambezi River at sunset, sipping delicious drinks as the sun goes down.

Your room faces the waterhole, and if you wake up early enough you will be able to see animals quenching their thirst in the morning. You will then head out to see the magnificent Victoria Falls, with a guided tour that takes you through the rainforest and in to 'the smoke that thunders'. Wear a waterproof! You will have to pay park entrance fees in cash as you enter the national park - this is currently US$30pp. You will travel back to the lodge in time for a Vulture Culture lunch. This spectacle includes a delicious lunch at Makuwa-Kuwa Restaurant, during which meat is placed out for the local vulture population. With many rare-breeds in the area, this is an important source of food for the vultures, and you will get to see them feeding while learning a little bit more about one of the most important animals in the African ecosystem. You will have some free time this afternoon, returning to Makuwa-Kuwa for dinner from the table d'hout menu.

Your third day in Victoria Falls is left free for your choice of activities. Victoria Falls is the adventure capital of Africa, and along with your pick of adrenaline filled experiences, there is also a market in the town, a golf course, high tea at the Victoria Falls Hotel, and a myriad of other memories to be made. Your final dinner will be at the Boma, an African place of eating that as well as gourmet food, includes traditional dancing and other entertainment. Your transfers to and from the venue are included.

You will transfer by road to Chobe Safari Lodge in Botswana. The journey takes approximately 2 and a half hours through national park areas so have your binoculars and cameras ready just in case. You will stop enroute at Kazangula Border post to clear Botswana border formalities. From here it is about another 25 minutes to the Lodge. Check in and relax for the rest of the afternoon.

We have included a number of activities into the price of this trip, but the timing of these can be determined when booking formalities are discussed; you are free to do them whenever you wish to, time permitting.

These activities include a boat cruise on the Chobe River, as well as a private cruise on the same river, plus one game drive. You can then choose another two activities from the list of those available at the lodge, including a visit to a nearby Namibian village, fishing, or more cruises and game drives.

The accommodation option we are offering is Half Board - you arrange your own lunch. If you would like to add lunch on to every day, we can do this at a small extra cost.

At a prearranged time our driver will transfer you to Victoria Falls Airport. Continue under your own arrangements.
