Victoria Falls
Day 1: Arrival Victoria Falls
Arrive at Livingstone Airport. The Victoria Falls is a natural phenomenon and one of the seven natural Wonders of the World. Declared a World Heritage Site, the Falls are the inspiration of legends, romance and myth. Long before the Scottish missionary and explorer, Dr David Livingstone “discovered” the falls, the local Batonga people had named them Mosi-Oa-Tunya, “the smoke that thunders”.
The Victoria Falls is an immense curtain of water cascading over 100 meters. Around 550 million litres over the lip every minute, at peak flow this increases to 750 million litres. Around the Falls is rainforest sustained by the spray of the Falls with some plant species rarely found elsewhere in Zambia or Zimbabwe.
After you have checked into your hotel situated only moments away from the mighty Zambezi River with the dramatic torrent of the Victoria Falls as its natural milieu. Freshen up before you depart on a guided tour of the falls. Witness the mass of falling water as it plunges down a sheer rock face, spraying its mystical mist hundreds of metres in the air.
Overnight: Zambezi Sun, Zambia (BB)
DAY 2: Day Trip to Chobe National Park (Botswana)
Enjoy breakfast before departing on a full day excursion to Chobe National Park Botswana. The Safari starts with a cruise on the Chobe River while the boat takes you close up to the waterfowl and wildlife on the river. Large flocks of birds, big pods of hippos and very large crocodiles can be viewed from the safety of your boat. Lunch is included en-route.
After the cruise it’s into the Safari Vehicles waiting on the banks and off further into the park to view some of the 45,000 local elephants, buffalo herds, sable, wildebeest, giraffe, and with luck, some resident lions and hyenas. The game drive meanders its way back to the park gates for Customs and Immigration formalities before you are transferred back to your hotel.
