Your days are at leisure to enjoy the many activities offered in Victoria Falls, we highly recommend a guided tour of the falls, a sunset cruise on the Zambezi, and no visit to Victoria Falls would be complete without dinner at the Boma Restaurant.
If you are visiting when there is a full moon, we highly recommend the Lunar Rainbow Tour.
Spend two nights at Bayete Guest Lodge including breakfast.
Victoria Falls on the Zambezi River is one of Africa’s most iconic destinations and deservedly on many bucket lists. That awe-inspiring vertical drop of 108m into the chasm below, as well as the mist spray curtain during full flood that can be seen and heard from afar (its local name is ‘Mosi-oa- Tunya’, which means ‘the smoke that thunders’), make for a truly unforgettable experience. Just wandering the streets of this quaint town is a special experience as you negotiate for souvenirs, dodge warthogs (and elephants!), hang out with locals and sample a range of restaurants and bars.
Victoria Falls is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the Seven Wonders of the World. It’s also an adventure centre of note. You could stay for ages and enjoy a different activity every day, from bungee jumping, gorge swinging and white water rafting, to helicopter and microlight flights (a.k.a the flight of angels), sunset boat and steam train cruises, horse riding, game drives, canoe trips, and so much more.
During your stay on the Zimbabwe side of Victoria Falls, walk across the bridge and also visit the Zambian side, which offers an exhilarating walk across the ‘Knife-edge Bridge’, a close-up view of the ‘Boiling Pot’ (a scary whirlpool at the base of the falls) and, for the really adventurous, a dip in the famous ‘Devil’s Pool‘.
**October and November can be an ideal time to plan a visit Devil's Pool Victoria Falls, as those months provide the best odds for water levels being lower, which is necessary. Visitors must plan a trip to Devil's Pool based upon lower water levels in the Zambezi River.
This morning, after breakfast it is time to check out. Please meet your driver in the main area at the agreed time for your road transfer to Chobe Bush Lodge. Please note that you will be transferring into Botswana and this transfer includes a border crossing. Please have your passports and the required documents ready.
With its intimate, modern and contemporary design, Chobe Bush Lodge is found in Kasane along the Chobe River.
As well as many big game species, Chobe National Park boasts the largest concentration of elephant in Africa and the game drives and boat cruises offer the best way to witness this amazing spectacle. The location affords you the chance to partake in all manner of activities: game drives, sunset boat cruises, private boat hire, Victoria Falls day trip, fishing, scenic flights and a Namibian village walk.
Enjoy game drives in this deliciously photogenic landscape. The animals are awe-inspiring, and the staff and vehicles are on-hand to make sure you have an unforgettable experience.
Another way to enjoy the game is on the gentle waters of the Chobe River, ideal for a river safari. There’s nothing more magical than watching all the animals come down to the river to drink, play, and bathe. Expect to see immense herds of elephant, buffalo, impala, wildebeest and zebra. Also be on the lookout for hippo, crocodile and vast amounts of birds.
Chobe Bush Lodge has its own cocktail bar with spectacular views overlooking the Chobe National Park and boasts an a’la carte restaurant for dinner. Sedudu Bar, famous for the most beautiful sunsets is also just a short walk away. With both Chobe Safari Lodge and Chobe Bush Lodge being so close to one another, guests can freely traverse between the two to enjoy the facilities and restaurants of both lodges.
Spend 2 nights at Chobe Bush Lodge
The Chobe River waterfront near the town of Kasane attracts massive herds of elephant and buffalo in the dry season, offering fantastic photographic opportunities as they bathe and drink in the late afternoon sunlight.
Perhaps the most relaxing way to spend the afternoon, after hours in the game drive vehicle exploring the river banks and deeper into Chobe National Park, is to take a sunset cruise down the river in pursuit of that perfect photograph and to look for Chobe bushbuck, a localised race of the more common bushbuck. And of course birdwatching adds another level of enjoyment as you drift downstream, with a cold G&T in one hand and binoculars in the other. For those in the know, there is a Pel’s fishing owl to be seen in the area …
Wildlife includes four of the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant and buffalo – only rhinos are absent), many antelope species (including the only population of puku in Botswana), zebras, giraffes and good populations of cheetahs, hyenas and wild dogs, as well as a plethora of smaller species such as serval, aardwolf, pangolin, aardvark and bat-eared fox.
Birding in northern Chobe can be rewarding, with over 450 species including slaty egret, Bradfield’s hornbill, wattled cranes, pennant-winged nightjar, broad-tailed paradise whydah, collared palm-thrush, miombo rock-thrush, Allen’s gallinule, lesser jacana, rock pratincole, Schalow’s turaco, racket-tailed roller and rosy-breasted longclaw.
Today your adventure comes to an end. After breakfast please check out and meet at the agreed time for your shared transfer to Kasane Airport. Check in for your onward flights.
The Africa Geographic team trusts you have enjoyed your experience, wish you a safe onward journey and hope to welcome you back in future to make more African inspired memories with us!
