This Victoria Falls Tour Package begins with pick-up from the international airport in Livingstone, Zambia. From the airport, you are transferred to the Protea Hotel on the outskirts of Livingstone town, near the Victoria Falls waterfall.
In the afternoon we head to the Royal Landing, to be greeted by a Marimba Band, from where we embark on a scenic sunset cruise on the Zambezi River. Departing at around 15:30, the cruise takes about two hours, traveling downstream towards Vic Falls as far as Siloka Island and back along the edge of Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park.

Hippos and crocodiles are commonly spotted from the boat, along with various other wild animals such as elephants, giraffes, buffalos, and even rhinos. An amazing array of birds can also be sighted on this mellow-paced cruise in nature.
After our mellow sunset cruise, we return to the hotel for an evening of relaxation.
On day two of our Victoria Falls Tour Package, we set out early for our full-day safari in Chobe National Park, one of the best game parks in Botswana.
We travel to the Zimbabwe border post (don't forget your passport) and once through there we head to the Botswana entry gate, stopping en route to step on a sanitized mat to prevent Foot and Mouth disease from entering the country. On arrival in Botswana, we transfer to an open safari vehicle for the trip to Chobe National Park and for game viewing in the park. We are headed for the northern section of the park, where the Chobe River forms the border in the north.
Our adventure begins with a river cruise into the park providing an opportunity to view the many waders and animals that frequent the river banks, as this is a major watering spot, particularly in the dry season. This area is known for its dense woodland, which has attracted herds of elephants resulting in a huge elephant population, estimated to be about 50 000.
We take a welcome lunch break at the recently renovated Chobe Game Lodge, where a buffet awaits us. A complimentary drink and tea or coffee are served with lunch.
Feeling revived we set out on our afternoon game drive. Apart from the many elephants we are sure to see, we can expect to see up to 15 different animal species, including buffalo, giraffe, kudu, roan and sable, impala, warthog, bushbuck, monkeys, and baboons, along with the accompanying predators (lion, leopard, hyena, and jackal). Be sure to have your cameras ready and binoculars if you have them. It's also advisable to have sunscreen and a hat for this 3-hour game drive in the hot, afternoon sun.
After our exciting Chobe Safari in Botswana, we head back to Victoria Falls in Zambia, through the border posts arriving at our hotel around 18:00.
Get ready for an adventure-packed day at Victoria Falls in Zambia! Day three of our Victoria Falls Tour Package includes canoeing on the Zambezi, visiting Victoria Falls waterfall, and a local cultural experience.
This morning we set off on our half-day canoeing trip on the Upper Zambezi River, above the spectacular Victoria Falls. Canoeing is the best way to explore the scenic Upper Zambezi River area. After a safety briefing by the professional river guide and a quick practice session on the water, the paddle begins. This is not a challenging paddle, navigating only small, easy rapids, and no canoeing experience is required. We take a lazy paddle down the Upper Zambezi, looking out for hippos, buffalos, crocodiles, elephants, kudus, impalas, and other untamed creatures along the banks.
Canoeing along the river is also a great way to spot birds, look out for the powerful Martial Eagle, among the over 50 bird species commonly sighted. Canoeing along the river we pass national parks on the Zimbabwean banks and pristine bush on the Zambian side. This gentle paddle is all about soaking up the beautiful scenery and enjoying the local fauna and flora up close. Afterward, there's time for a picnic lunch on the riverbank.
This afternoon the adventure continues with a guided tour of Vic Falls, led by an experienced and knowledgeable local guide. We walk through lush rainforests on the Zambian side of Vic Falls visiting vantage points for spectacular views of this natural wonder. The walk takes us across Knife Edge Bridge and through the forest, hosting plant species rarely found in other parts of Zambia or Zimbabwe. During peak season we can even feel the spray of the “Smoke that Thunders” as Vic Falls is called.
Victoria Falls, one of the seven natural wonders of the world, is an awe-inspiring sight to behold, especially when the Zambezi water levels are high. Considered the largest waterfall in the world, the falls plummet 100 m into the gorge below and span 1,5 km across. About 550 million liters of water flow over Vic Falls per minute.
The skilled guide explains the geology of Victoria Falls and tells you more about this epic waterfall as you walk.
A knowledgeable guide takes us on the village tour, which provides insight into the lives of local Zambians and their rich traditions. We visit Mukuni Village to see how the Leya people live and find out more about their unique history and customs.
Founded in the 13th century, Mukuni village was the largest village on the Zambian side of Vic Falls before Livingstone was established. Formerly known as Gundu, the village was renamed after Chief Mukuni from the Congo when he conquered it in the 18th century. Today this African village is home to about 7000 people and has its own clinic, school, two churches, shops, boreholes, and bars. See how locals build and decorate their huts, engage in small-scale farming, and create African curios. A fascinating glimpse into the mix of modern and traditional living in Zambia.
On the final day of our Victoria Falls Tour Package, you'll take to the skies for unforgettable aerial views of the mighty falls.
Today we lift off on our thrilling helicopter flight. This Flight of Angels takes us on a scenic chopper ride over the thundering Victoria Falls waterfall, providing fantastic views and a whole new perspective of this natural wonder.
The 15-minute helicopter flight provides an uninterrupted bird’s eye view of the magnificent Victoria Falls, the Zambezi River, and surrounding bush. We fly upstream over Mosi Oa Tunya National Park, looking out for game below, and downstream over the impressive Batoka Gorge. This scenic Flight of Angels is conducted in a helicopter designed to offer each passenger superb views.
From above the falls, it is easy to see why the helicopter flight over Victoria Falls is called the Flight of Angels!
After your Flight of Angels, we transfer you to the international airport in Livingstone for your onward flight, bringing this action-packed Victoria Falls Tour to a close.
