Victoria Falls Explorer

Visit Africa

Day 1

Excited much? Make your way to your accommodation in Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders and the largest waterfall in the world.

You might want to pack your raincoat, as during certain times of the year you can get drenched from the rising spray, giving the falls its local name: 'The smoke that thunders'. You'll have the chance to jump, zipline or swing off the famous bridge connecting Zimbabwe and Zambia over the Zambezi River. Please note: From January to June this trip puts you in the Victoria Falls Waterfront Hotel, Zambia, with a riverside deck and bar that overlooks the spray of the thunderous falls. Travelling from July to December? Don't worry, you're not missing out: we'll put you up in the Shearwater Explorers Village, Zimbabwe, just 400m from the falls - with bohemian cafes, curio markets and swimming pools to explore. It's win win, basically.

Day 2

After an included breakfast, you've got a full day of activities to explore.

Choose to raft down the Zambezi, one of the world's best white water rapids. There's also a locally guided village tour, where you'll get to know the locals and experience their way of life. This evening we'll finish with a magnificent sunset cruise on the Zambezi.

Day 3

We start today on foot, to literally ‘walk on the wild side’ with a guided walking safari along the Zambezi’s National Park.

This is a unique way to track wildlife on foot while learning about some of the smaller animals – plus plants and just generally anything we come across. Afterwards, we go from foot mode to flight mode with a helicopter ride above the thunderous waters below - the best way to see the falls in all their glory.

Day 4

Your trip ends after breakfast this morning where you need to make your own way to the airport or catch the early morning transfer to Kasane, Botswana for the start of the Okavango Delta and Deserts trip.

As you flick through your photos and videos, you'll realise that nothing will compare to seeing this natural miracle up close and personal.
