Johannesburg-Victoria Falls Airport-Victoria Falls Town-Victoria Falls

Day 1Johannesburg-Victoria Falls Airport-Victoria Falls Town-Victoria Falls Johannesburg-Victoria Falls Airport-Victoria Falls Town-Victoria Falls We pick you up at your home or hotel and drive you to Johannesburg Airport for your flight to Victoria Falls, beginning your journey to one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. In Victoria Falls, after customs and immigration, your driver greets you with a sign and your name and takes you in a small minivan—never a bus—to the N1, your base in town. Once settled, you may relax or choose an optional helicopter flight, sunset cruise, or guided walking tour toward the historic Victoria Falls Bridge, where baboons, warthogs, antelopes, and sometimes elephants appear, moving freely through the unfenced parks. These first steps give you a quiet thrill and a deep sense of wilderness. After returning to the hotel and enjoying dinner (own expense), you prepare for our unique moonlight stargazing safari from 7 to 9 pm—pick-up and drop-off included—before getting ready for the next morning of safari adventures.

Day 2Zambezi National Park-Chamabondo National Park-Zambezi River Zambezi National Park-Chamabondo National Park-Zambezi River You'll start the day with a 4x4 sunrise safari in Zambezi National Park, following the old tracks as the bush awakens around you. Elephants drift through the riverine forest, giraffes feed in soft morning light, zebras and buffalo gather on the plains, and with luck, a lion’s call carries over the grass. A light breakfast is served on the drive, letting you settle into the steady rhythm of the day. Back in Victoria Falls, the experience unfolds the way you choose. You'll select an optional helicopter flight with guaranteed window seats, a guided 4x4 town tour, or a baobab and vulture experience around Victoria Falls. You'll enjoy a peaceful sunset cruise, or a mid-morning or sunset game drive in Chamabondo’s wide savannah. You may also visit the mighty Victoria Falls, guided or unguided, walking the same footpaths generations of travellers have followed. Every moment remains customizable, shaped entirely to your wishes.
