Game Drive, Boat Cruise and Visit the Top of the Falls

Day 2Game Drive, Boat Cruise and Visit the Top of the Falls Game Drive, Boat Cruise and Visit the Top of the Falls Take an early cup of tea/coffee at the lodge and then set off for a game drive in the park. You have the chance of seeing big cats hunting, elephants, giraffes, buffalos, and more, as the checklist of mammals reaches 76. We will continue browsing the drive circuits to the Delta point for a cocktail of birds and mammals. Enjoy a relaxed lunch and then have a 3-hour boat ride to the base of the falls where you get to see the hippos. You have never seen more hippos yawning and grooming in their pods anywhere else like here. Believe me! You'll also see the Nile crocodiles, elephants and a variety of beautiful bird species along the banks. If you are a keen birder this might be your magnet to catch them. Continue with a hike to visit the top of the falls. This is a magnificent classic highlight on our 2nd day as an explosive dash of water at close range gushes through a narrow crevice. Retire from your busy day at the lodge as you sort the snaps taken during the day.
