Mighty Victoria Falls:
Locals calls it The Smoke That Thunders, a waterfall in southern Africa on the Zambezi River at the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe. It is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the world. Victoria Falls is classified as the largest, based on its combined width of 1,708 meters and height of 108 meters, resulting in the world's largest body of falling water. Victoria Falls is roughly twice the height of North America's Niagara Falls and well over twice the width of its Horseshoe Falls. The most notable aspect of the area's vegetation though is the rainforest nurtured by the spray from the falls.
Let's go!
Day 1 // Arrival to Zimbabwe + Dinner cruise
Meeting at Dubai Terminal 1 at 02:00 AM for flight at 04:25 AM via Addis, arrival and immigration formalities. Check in to our luxury lodge, bordering the Zambezi National Park.
An hour before the sun begins its descent, we step onboard a vessel for dinner cruise with an exceptional evening on the Zambezi River. On the boat we will be offered a glass of beverage to sip as we find our seats and relax before the journey along the Zambezi River begins; all the while looking out for the various birdlife and animals there are to be seen, and then watching as one of Africa’s famous sunsets erupts in the sky. After the sun has sunk below the river line, dinner is served. The rich aroma of locally sourced, fresh ingredients wafts around diners as the dishes are plated.
Day 2 // Angels Pools (Zambia) + Falls tour + Rhino search
A view of the Victoria Falls is something you will never forget! Today we will take a look at the falls from several angles and also discover how the Falls were formed.
We will be going across the border into Zambia to get into the Zambezi River and stare over the edge of the waterfall into the abyss. This activity takes up a few hours with a boat ride to Livingstone Island from where we will get into the water to the edge of the Falls. After the experience we will be having breakfast and travel back to Zimbabwe.
Lunch at the café with spectacular views of the Batoka Gorge, Vic Falls Bridge and Spray of the Falls.
In the afternoon we will take guided tour on Zimbabwe side to get the complete picture of the majestic formation, followed by a bush adventure where we go in search of the highly endangered rhino. We will board a specialized safari vehicle at the Stanley and Livingstone Game Reserve, 15 minutes away from the town of Victoria Falls. The afternoon ends with some snacks and drinks on the private game reserve.
Day 3 // Half day trip to Botswana
Today we set off to Botswana. All passports are eligible for border crossing. This trip to flooded savannah will give you yet another outlook on African landscapes.
Day 4 // Optional activities + High Tea + Boma dinner
Today you will have a chance for Helicopter Flight over the Falls, if you chose so (optional - recommended).
We can't skip a visit in legendary Victoria Falls Hotel, place soaked with colonial history. High Tea with the view on border bridge is an absolute must here!!
In the evening traditional dinner with local performances.
