    Why we love it

    • Get to know your fellow travellers over a sumptuous African feast and a live performance. Dine on an array of exotic meats, which may include warthog, buffalo, crocodile as you are entertained by local song and dance.
    • Take your pick of some fantastic optional activities in Victoria Falls, including canoeing, inflatable kayaking along the upper Zambezi , white water rafting and game drives or walks in Zambezi National Park

    Itinerary

    Day 1 - Victoria Falls

    • After arrival in Victoria Falls and transfer to your lodge, the afternoon’s free to spend at your leisure. Take a stroll around town and book any optional activities that you’d like to do while you’re here with local tour operators.
    • What better way to kick off your African adventure than with a superb feast? Tonight we'll share an incredible dinner at the Boma Restaurant. The mouth-watering main course is a buffet of local meats, which may include warthog, buffalo, crocodile, impala and more. Throughout the meal we'll be entertained with local song and dance, where everyone is given an African drum and encouraged to join the party. A fun way for you to get to know your fellow travelers!
    • Please note, if you don’t wish to join in with the drumming you can choose an earlier session for dinner. Another suggestion for the evening is to be transferred earlier to the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge to enjoy a pre-dinner ‘sundowner’ drink at their unique outdoor bar overlooking a waterhole. From here it’s just a short transfer to the Boma for dinner.

    Day 2 - Victoria Falls

Please try to ensure you have the correct money and that the notes are not issued prior to the year 2000.)
    • Once inside the park, your guide will take you through the falls area, stopping at vantage points along the way to tell you about the history of the falls and its surroundings.
    • In the evening we enjoy a sunset cruise on the Upper Zambezi River. Our cruise begins in the late afternoon with some game viewing – we’ll be keeping our eye out for elephant, hippopotamus and the elusive white rhinoceros, while cruising along the banks of the Zambezi enjoying a light snack as the sun sets over the river.
