We love...
Feeling the full force of nature as rainbows form in the gathering mists above Victoria Falls. Drinking sundowners as bathing buffalo and skittish antelope visit the waterhole of your luxury safari lodge. Flying in a light aircraft above the pristine waterways of Chobe National Park, spotting herds of elephant and pods of hippo.
Following in Doctor Livingstone’s footsteps, we have some pretty big explorer shoes to fill. We manage it by combining two of the world’s greatest natural wonders - Victoria Falls and Chobe National Park. Exploring by air, boat and 4WD, we get closer to nature - cruising along the banks of the Zambezi past bathing elephants, viewing herds of giraffe from the skies, and criss-crossing savannahs in search of the Big Five. If you’re looking for wildlife, waterfalls and wonders, then this 13-day Botswana and Zimbabwe adventure is just what the doctor ordered.

Included excursions
These excursions are included in the price of your tour. See below for your day-to-day itinerary.
Come face to face with Victoria Falls
Visit the mighty Victoria Falls – one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World – and hear stories about the great explorer, Doctor Livingstone, who discovered them back in 1855. Our expert local guide will lead us to a series of viewpoints where we can appreciate this mile-wide wall of water in all its glory, capturing on camera the colossal clouds of mist that rise from the bottom.
Sundowner cruise on the Zambezi
At the top of thundering Victoria Falls is Zambezi River, Africa’s fourth-longest, which flows for 2,574km through six countries. We’ll enjoy a relaxing cruise on these calm waters as the sun goes down, keeping an eye out for wildlife along the way.
Meet the locals in Mpisi
To get a snapshot of traditional Zimbabwean life, we’ll head to Mpisi – a small, rural village close to Victoria Falls. The warm and friendly locals here live in thatched huts, and we’ll learn all about their customs and age-old farming techniques.
Animal encounters in Chobe National Park
Strap into a 4WD with expert rangers in tow and head out into the savannahs and woodland. With three game drives in total (two in the morning, one in the afternoon) forming part of your itinerary, you'll have a great chance of spotting the elusive Big Five.
Cruising Chobe River
Start the day with a relaxing river cruise as the sun rises above Chobe River. Keep an eye out for wildlife in and out of the water – including hippos, crocodiles, elephants and more than 450 species of birds.
Chobe River from the sky
We'll swap the savannahs for the skies on this exhilarating morning excursion, which sees us take flight in a light aircraft for a birds-eye view of Chobe River and the rest of the park. If we're lucky, we'll spot hippos lounging in the water and crocodiles sunbathing on the banks.

Day 3 - Victoria Falls
We start out on a high with a day at Victoria Falls - one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. Discovered by Livingstone in 1855, the pre-colonial name of ‘Mosi-oa-Tunya' (the smoke that thunders) perfectly describes this force of nature. A mile-wide curtain of water freefalls down the rockface for almost a quarter of a mile, causing mists that can be seen from up to 12 miles away. After a guided walk stopping at different viewpoints around the falls, we take to the water for a sundowner cruise along the Zambezi River. The calm before the cascade, the water at the top of the falls is slow and meandering - with hippo, crocodile, elephant and giraffe coming to the water’s edge to drink.
