SLF013-9 Day Livingstone, Hwange & Chobe

Upon your arrival at the Livingstone Airport you will be met by your transfer driver and taken to your hotel for the next three nights.

Bask in graceful safari style only steps from one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. Sweeping Zambezi River and savannah views stretch from every veranda as you relax in elegance.

Wake up to the sight of zebras wandering the hotel grounds. Raise a glass at sunset to the marvellous waterfall thundering to its depths as you recline in style. Surrender to relaxation with spa therapies under the shade of monkey trees on the banks of the river. 

The Royal Livingstone is located on the Zambian side of the Zambezi River in Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, overlooking and with direct access to the Victoria Falls. 

This afternoon you will enjoy a sunset cruise on the Zambezi river, before relaxing at the hotel on the banks of the river for the evening.

We will kick this morning of with a tour of the Victoria Falls on both Zambia and Zimbabwe's side.  After the tour you will have some time for leisure to relax around the pool or partake in any additional optional activities, before venturing out on an old fashioned Steam Safari on the Royal Livingstone Express.

This morning you will have time to sleep in a bit, before being collected for a lunch Livingstone Island experience.  You will be collected at 11:50 and return from the activity by 15:00.  Just in time to freshen up before your next activity, the Elephant Cafe Dinner experience.  Your transfer will be ready to collect you at 15:15 for this activity and you will return approximately 21:00.

Devil's Pool is the ultimate infinity pool, adjacent to the famous Livingstone Island situated on the edge of the Victoria Falls. Guests can choose to enjoy an exhilarating swim to the edge of the falls during their Livingstone Island visit. The Devil's Pool is usually open between mid August and mid January - depending on the Zambezi water levels.

About 10km upriver from Victoria Falls, The Elephant Café veers off the beaten track not only in location, but with its unique blend of wild eatables, foraged locally. The guests are greeted by the resident elephants, gentle giants of all ages, whose peaceful demeanour washes over their guests. Seated upon a beautifully-appointed deck suspended over the Zambezi River, the diner’s taste buds are taken on an African adventure.

After breakfast you will be collected by your driver that will take you by road all the way to Hwange Main Camp, from where you will be met by your guide who will drive to the rest of the way to your lodge in Hwange National Park.  The drive is approximately 2 and a half hours, depending on road conditions on the day, border formalities and how often we stop.

Linkwasha Camp is undoubtedly the most exclusive and luxurious safari camp in the Hwange National Park, owing to its superb location, outstanding service, dramatic scenery and incredible wildlife viewing, all combined with some of the best guiding in Africa.
