Incredible Botswana

On arrival in Victoria Falls you will be met and transferred to the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge for overnight the next two nights in a waterhole facing room, on a bed and breakfast basis.  

After breakfast, you will have a guided tour of the Falls and a village visit.

We’re exploring Victoria Falls inside, outside, and right from the top - it’s a full tour, and you’ll thrill to every aspect of the fascinating stroll through the permanent gentle rain and mist occurring alongside the Falls, stopping off at the key view sites for a photocall! Here, you’ll be bombarded by the mighty roar of tons of water crashing over the series of ledges – it’s literally breathtaking. The Victoria Falls forms the largest single curtain of falling water on earth measuring 1708 metres wide and with an average depth of 92 metres. When the conditions are right, the spray plum is 500 metres high and can be seen from as far as 70 kilometres away. In full flood, over 550 million litres of water per minute are cascading over the brink.

Experience an interactive visit to the local village, where we meet and learn more about the active roles played by both men and women in this society. Visit an actual homestead in the village, talk to those who live and work there, and watch their lifestyle and cultural norms. Make sure you’ve room in your bag because we’re visiting a small curio shop, filled with homemade items for sale, all crafted by the extended family members of this homestead.

Later this afternoon you will enjoy a sundowner cruise. Put your feet up, sip a sundowner as the light gently fades, and let our tranquil wildlife cruise float you along the Zambezi River above the Falls. You’ll have the finest vantage point from which to watch hippos, crocodiles and other animals which come down to the river’s edge in the early evening, to slake their thirst. You’re in the first-class seats, that’s for sure, and while you’re sipping your cocktail and enjoying snacks - no further movement required on your part - you’ll be captivated by the sun’s dying rays as they cast a burnt-orange glow that shimmers on the river. Take another sip in this golden setting – cheers!  Return to your hotel overnight.

After breakfast, you will be transferred across the border into Botswana. Overnight the next three nights at Chobe Game Lodge on a fully inclusive basis in a standard room. Afternoon game activity.

Situated in the world-renowned Moremi Game Reserve, Camp Moremi enjoys breath-taking vistas over the Xakanaxa Lagoon.

Hidden in lush green trees and branches, it feels like you are walking in an African fairytale forest. Enjoy outside dinners under an amazing starry sky, let a professional staff pamper you with their humour and warmth, dive in the large pool, start your day with homemade pancakes and enjoy excellent elephant, lion and leopard sightings (among many other species). With no Wi-Fi connection, you are truly away from your fast-paced life.

The suites feature glass sliding doors opening out to private decks where you can enjoy manicured bush views and an attractive woodlands setting. All tents are beautifully decorated, with a soft, king-size bed, luxurious en suite bathroom, comfy chairs and a desk to write down all your safari memories.

After an exhilarating safari day, order yourself a cocktail at the bar and reminisce about today’s wildlife sightings, while a homemade dinner is prepared.

Activities at Camp Moremi: Camp Moremi is located in a diverse area: you will explore African bush, large open savannahs, lush green forests, water holes (attracting an abundance of thirsty wildlife) and papyrus-filled, Delta waterways. You will enjoy tracking big games during morning and evening games drives, and boat excursions to discover bustling river life. Although night drives and off-roading are not permitted through the Moremi, the camp’s premier setting ensures you are always part of the natural wilderness. A boat excursion is a particularly unique, Delta experience. Glide through tall grasses, blooming water lilies and bump into an elephant herd seeking a refreshing splash. Besides many elephants, lion herds, leopards and hippos, this area is known for a vast number of antelope, including Impala, Kudu and Waterbuck. And do not forget the birding in the area; if it is spring season, you might encounter roosting areas with countless flocks. Also, the imposing Fish Eagle and vivid Malachite Kingfisher are often seen, and even the rare, Pel’s Fishing Owl occasionally makes a visit. Great birding, excellent guides, outstanding wildlife viewing, delicious dinners in the bush, warm, African hospitality – all this makes for an intense safari under the dense green trees of Camp Moremi.
