Victoria Falls and safari in Botswana

Day 1. Arrival in Livingstone or Victoria Falls.

Upon arrival at the airport in Livingstone or Victoria Falls, you will be transferred to one of the premium hotels, located just a few steps from breathtaking views of the falls. Each hotel offers easy access to famous sights, panoramic views, comfort, refined interiors, and high-quality service.

For those who prefer peace and privacy, we suggest staying in one of the luxurious lodges on the banks of the Zambezi River, where nature and cosy interiors will allow you to immerse yourself in the rhythm of an African safari.

On your first evening, an extraordinary adventure awaits you — dinner on board a vintage steam train or a luxurious sunset cruise on the Zambezi River.

The retro Victoria Falls Steam Train transports you into the elegance of the colonial era, immersing you in times past. The lead steam locomotive, built in 1952, pulls three carriages, each carefully and lovingly restored by master craftsman Rohan Vos of Rovos Rail. The carriages impress with sophisticated interiors in early 20th-century style, and attentive staff ensures the journey is flawless. In the dining car, you’ll be served gourmet food and drinks prepared by the chefs of the Victoria Falls Hotel.

The train travels through the Victoria Falls Nature Reserve wilderness, reaching the border and approaching the Victoria Falls Bridge. During the rainy season, you may step out and stand on the bridge, enjoy the view, and capture unforgettable photos of the powerful falls illuminated by the setting sun.

The journey ends late in the evening, with the train returning to the station.

For those who prefer to spend their first African evening immersed in the sounds of nature and the gentle splash of water, an evening cruise on the Zambezi River is the perfect choice.

From the pier, you’ll set off towards the setting sun. At this time, the Zambezi River takes on warm, saturated hues, creating a magical backdrop for your evening. 

A cruise on the Zambezi includes a gourmet dinner to share with loved ones, whether it’s a romantic occasion, a family gathering, or an evening with friends. African-inspired dishes and a glass of premium wine are all you need to savour the beauty of the moment.

Day 2. Victoria Falls

This day will be dedicated to experiencing one of the most stunning natural wonders of the world — Victoria Falls, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Locals call it "Mosi-oa-Tunya," meaning "The Smoke that Thunders," and once you see and hear this force of nature, you’ll understand why. With a thunderous roar, the waterfall drops millions of litres of water from a height of about 100 metres, creating a misty curtain. All of this takes place amidst the lush African savannah!

You will visit the waterfall and have the opportunity to see it from both sides — Zambia and Zimbabwe. From the Zimbabwean side, you’ll be able to view the main section of the waterfall from an observation deck that reveals the full power of this natural phenomenon. From the observation decks in Zambia, the power of the waterfall is truly felt only during the rainy season.

After the walk, you will have the chance to see Victoria Falls from above. A helicopter or microlight flight over the waterfall will lift you to the skies, offering a view of its vast expanse and all its facets, which cannot be fully appreciated from the ground.

After an exhilarating day, we invite you to spend the evening enjoying the flavours and rhythms of Africa. Choose from a cosy restaurant with panoramic views or an immersive experience in a traditional eatery, where a lively show awaits you: traditional dances, drums, African masks, and dishes cooked over an open flame.

Day 3. Victoria Falls

Today begins with an excursion to Livingstone Island, where the British explorer David Livingstone first glimpsed the magnificent Victoria Falls and decided to name it in honour of Queen Victoria.

Here, you can experience a swim in the "Devil's Pool," a natural rock pool perched right on the edge of the waterfall. You can dip in this thrilling spot during the low-water season — from August to the end of January — under the careful supervision of local guides. Imagine yourself in a pool over 100 metres high, feeling the immense power of the Zambezi River as hundreds of tons of water plunge nearby, creating mist and rainbows.

We have many exciting options if you’re craving adrenaline after the Devil’s Pool! Try bungee jumping from a height of 111 metres, soaring over the Zambezi Gorge. The zip line offers speed enthusiasts a rush over the gorge with a unique view of the waterfall.

Rafting on the Zambezi's turbulent rapids is another challenge for the adventurous. Some stretches of the river feature rapids of the highest difficulty categories, where, with experienced instructors, you’ll face the thrilling force of the river head-on.

For those dreaming of an encounter with Africa’s wildlife, a walking safari awaits. Accompanied by expert guides, you’ll have the chance to walk alongside rhinos and lions.
