On Safari in Victoria Falls

Follow in the footsteps of the explorer David Livingstone as you venture through veils of mist along the paths that fringe the mighty Victoria Falls.

From the base of a charming, thatched lodge, watch traditional performances by the flickering of a fire, set off on guided nature walks to bird hides and observe vultures flocking to a feeding. Journey into the Zambezi National Park and cruise along its river while the sun dapples the banks, teeming with wildlife, before dipping beyond the bushland. Ramble around the elephant-rich Chobe National Park in Botswana and rejig your itinerary with inspiring optional excursions.

Add optional morning and evening Zambezi National Park safaris to your itinerary

You’ll land at Victoria Falls Airport, meet your tour manager, and be transferred for about 30 minutes to the beautiful Lokuthala Lodge in the heart of the bush.

Unpack and tuck into a tapas-style lunch before exploring the grounds and perhaps musing over a refreshment by the pool.

In the evening, dinner will be served at the lodge’s award-winning restaurant MaKuwa-Kuwa, which looks out over a waterhole, teeming with wildlife.

After breakfast, you have an exciting excursion on your itinerary – a tour of Victoria Falls. This resort town is set on the southern bank of the Zambezi River at the western end of the Victoria Falls themselves.

Discovered in 1855 by the Scottish missionary and famous explorer David Livingstone, the falls were named after Queen Victoria, and are one of the largest in the world.

Your guide will highlight points of interest, and with luck, you’ll catch sight of a rainbow stretching across the steamy veils. Lining the side of the powerful falls are national parks, brimming with wildlife, including the ‘Big Five’.

Stroll along a forested path to soak up the views before enjoying lunch at the Lookout Café, with its unrivalled location on the banks.

Those who want to observe the falls from above can join a once-in-a-lifetime optional helicopter flight, ‘The flight of the angels’, where you’ll circuit the national parks, falls, and Zambezi River below.

You’ll return later in the day to unwind and have dinner at the on-site restaurant.

Fuel up on breakfast and then go on a safari in the Zambezi National Park, which is positioned upstream from Victoria Falls.

Fronted by the mighty Zambezi River, this sprawling spread of savanna and mopane forests is home to an astounding array of wildlife.

As you’re driven deep into the foliage, keep your eyes peeled for elephants, lions, buffalo, leopards, and Zimbabwe’s national animal, the sable.

The river will possibly provide sights of hippos, wading through the murky waters or crocodiles lurking below. The park is also a bird lovers’ haven given that it has seen the presence of 400 species.

After you’ve watched the sunset back at the lodge, with a sundowner in hand, you’ll be led to the boma for a dinner and drum show. While you feast on a four-course dinner of local dishes, some fresh off the barbeque, an energetic dance performance, with drumming and traditional storytelling will take place in front of a roaring fire.

Once you’ve had breakfast, you’ll switch up the dusty roads for the calm waters of the Chobe River on a morning cruise, which will provide a perfect opportunity to identify wildlife.

You’ll then travel in a 4X4 open-air vehicle into Chobe National Park, located in northern Botswana near the Okavango Delta. Here, you’ll be able to spot herds of elephants given it has the largest population in the whole of Africa. Buffalos and lions are also likely to be seen, as well as kudu, waterbuck, and impala, meandering across the banks of the river. The park is a top-notch birdwatching paradise too, with over 450 species

Return to the lodge later in the day and enjoy another dinner at the restaurant.

This morning, after breakfast, you can choose to take it easy or join an optional safari in the Zambezi National Park, hopefully ticking any remaining sightings off your list.

You’ll have the rest of the day at your leisure to enjoy the scenery from the privacy of your balcony, take advantage of the swimming pool or book a treatment at the spa.

A sunset cruise along the Zambezi River is an ideal way to conclude the day, and you’ll board a five-star vessel, with three viewing decks to choose from.

Sip on a refreshment while sailing and watch as the sky transforms into a patchwork of pretty colours. Experience excellent sightings of wildlife on the riverbanks, encompassing pods of hippos, elephants, crocodiles, giraffes, baboons, monkeys, and exotic birds.

In the evening, you’ll be driven back to the hotel for dinner.

Arise and have breakfast before deciding if you want to join another optional Zambezi National Park safari.

At 1pm, you can witness the sight of hundreds of vultures feeding on leftover scraps in front of the lodge.

This activity begins with a briefing on the deck below the lodge about the ecological importance of vultures and then you’ll be led down to a hide to see them feeding.

The rest of the day is free to further explore the quirky town of Victoria Falls at your own pace or you can partake in any of the lodge’s additional activities before dinner.

In the evening, it’s also possible to join a final, optional safari into the Zambezi National Park to see the nocturnal animals in their element.

It’s your last full day in the bush, and you can make the most of it by going on a guided nature walk to the lodge’s bird hide.

Sit and survey the area, looking out for shrikes, doves, kingfishers, and guinea fowl, along with bushbuck and warthog.

Embrace an afternoon of free time to enjoy the lodge and the bush setting, and in the evening, join your fellow travellers for a special farewell dinner.

A visa is not required for UK citizens travelling to South Africa, but your passport must be valid for six months beyond the date of entry to the country and have two adjacent blank pages. A Kaza Unvisa is required to obtain entry to Zambia and can be used for entry into Zimbabwe. This can be obtained upon arrival in Livingstone at a cost of 50 US dollars per person. This must be paid for in cash - ensure you have the correct amount handy in US$ when you arrive. The visa is valid for up to 30 days.

Occasionally, for operational reasons, we may have to change the order of the excursions on your holiday. The final day-by-day itinerary will be confirmed on your Final Travel Documents, which you will receive approximately three weeks prior to your departure.

The majority of our tours involve a certain amount of walking, including a short walk from the coach stop to the town, attraction or venue you're visiting. If you are bringing a wheelchair, please let us know at the time of booking so that appropriate arrangements can be made. In many developing countries access is sometimes not as easy as at home. Should you have walking difficulties, getting around monuments and attractions may be harder and, in some cases, impossible. Should you have any concerns whatsoever please do contact us prior to travel.

In developing countries, road networks are continually being improved and expanded, which can mean that, from time to time, roadworks and rough road surfaces can extend journey times. Some journeys are made on winding mountain roads and passes, which may also make for slow travelling, although the scenery usually makes up for it. Many roads do not have separate pavements or safety barriers, and great care should be taken when crossing or walking alongside roads.

All mandatory local taxes and charges are included in the price of your holiday as per the itinerary. Prices for any optional excursions are listed separately. Any suggested free-time activities, attractions, meals or entertainment are not included (unless otherwise stated), and may be subject to local charges. Please note that tipping is optional and as such, is typically not included in the price of your holiday (unless otherwise stated).
