Day 1
Arrive in Victoria Falls
Welcome to the Victoria Falls Airport. On Arrival at Victoria Falls, you will be transferred to your hotel. Check in and freshen up. Rest of afternoon at leisure. The Victoria Falls presents a spectacular sight of awe-inspiring beauty and grandeur on the Zambezi River, forming a natural border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. It was described by the Kololo tribe living in the area as ‘Mosi-oa-Tunya’ – ‘The Smoke that Thunders’ for the immense spray and incredible noise caused by the rushing water. Overnight stay at hotel in Victoria Falls.
Day 2
Victoria Falls Tour
Breakfast at the hotel. Proceed for a Guided tour of the Mighty Falls. We first go past one of the biggest baobab trees in the region. These gigantic and ancient trees are characteristic of the African bush. Later in the afternoon, you will be collected again and transferred to the jetty for a Sunset Boat Cruise on the Zambezi River above the falls, complete with drinks and snack. This excursion also affords the possibility to see not just a typically beautiful sunset, but also some wildlife including hippo, elephants, buffalo and bushbuck. Overnight stay at hotel in Victoria Falls.
Day 3
Victoria Falls – Chobe Safari – Victoria Falls
Breakfast at the hotel. Proceed for a Full Day Safari at Chobe National Park in Bostwana.

Things to Look Out For
The falls have two faces
Victoria Falls peaks just after the rains, March to May, when the Zambezi is in full flood. A curtain of water so vast the spray hides the gorge and soaks you through. By October the flow drops, the Zimbabwe side thins, but the rock face and the rainbows show clearly. Decide which you came for; you can't have both.
It runs on US dollars
Zimbabwe's own currency has collapsed more than once, and tourism here is priced and paid in US dollars. Bring clean, newer notes in small denominations, as torn or pre-2009 bills are often refused and change can be hard to get. Card acceptance is patchy; cash dollars are king.
Chobe is a day across the border
The Chobe day safari crosses into Botswana and back. Carry your passport, expect a border formality at Kazungula, and know the river drive at dusk is the highlight, when the elephant herds come down to drink. It's a long but rewarding day; an early start beats the heat and the crowds at the crossing.

Plan Your Timing
When to Go
Zimbabwe sits below the equator, so the seasons run opposite to the north. The dry winter, June to October, is the safari and game-viewing peak. Cool, thinning bush, animals at the water. The catch at Victoria Falls is timing: the falls run fullest March to May just after the rains and thinnest by October-November. The green season, November to March, is hot and wet with dramatic storms, lush bush and superb birding but harder big-game sightings.
