Day by Day Itinerary
Day 1 – 2: Victoria Falls Discovery & Zambezi Sunset Experience
Upon arrival at Victoria Falls International Airport in Zimbabwe, you will be met and transferred by road to your lodge for a two-night stay.
During your time here, you will explore one of the world’s most spectacular natural wonders — Victoria Falls, locally known as Mosi-oa-Tunya (The Smoke that Thunders). The immense curtain of water stretching over 1.7 kilometres creates an unforgettable sight, with mist rising high above the rainforest and wildlife thriving in the surrounding environment.
You will have time to experience the falls from various viewpoints, explore the vibrant town, and enjoy optional activities. A scenic helicopter flight over the falls offers a breathtaking perspective, while a sunset cruise on the Zambezi River provides a relaxed wildlife viewing experience with drinks and golden African skies.
For an authentic cultural evening, dinner at the famous Boma Restaurant is highly recommended.
Your lodge’s prime location allows easy access to both the waterfall and the town’s attractions.

Day 3 – 4: Chobe National Park – Land & Water Safari
After breakfast, you will depart for Botswana, crossing the border into the wildlife-rich Chobe region and continuing to your lodge for a two-night stay.
Chobe National Park is renowned for having one of the highest concentrations of elephants in Africa, along with an incredible diversity of wildlife. Game drives across the park’s varied landscapes offer opportunities to see lions, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, hyenas, leopards, and numerous antelope species.
A highlight of your stay is the Chobe River safari, where animals gather along the banks to drink, bathe, and hunt. The floodplains are also the only place in Botswana where the rare puku antelope can be seen, and bird enthusiasts will enjoy the presence of more than 450 recorded species.
