    Victoria Falls

    *Meet your driver and get transferred to Dzimbahwe Guest Lodge, a comfortable lodge located in the peaceful area of Victoria Falls closer to the game corridor, approximately 3km from the central falls, where you will sleep for two nights. *Head to enjoy a spectacular Sunset Dinner Cruise on the magnificent Zambezi River, followed by a four-course meal, freshly prepared on board by chefs, and served. *See hippos, crocs, elephants, and many birds that cross the river to feed on the islands.

    Victoria Falls Rainforest

    *After Breakfast, go through the Victoria Falls Rain-Forest known to the native as Mosi-Oa-Tunya. This journey not only affords a view of one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World but provides a lot of interesting facts about the geology, wildlife and history of Africa’s most famous landmark. *Then later, after the Falls tour, enter the world of the traditional people of rural Zimbabwe for a village tour. This experience gives you a greater understanding of how the local community lives. *A visit to a local Zimbabwean village is an eye-opening experience and interactive outing, providing insight into the old ways of the Zimbabwean people, essentially taking you back in time. Most rural Zimbabwean folk are subsistence farmers, so they have little interaction with urban centres apart from selling surplus produce. *Polish the day in the evening by enjoying the Boma-Dinner & Drum Show, a “must-do” Victoria Falls dining and entertainment experience specializing in traditional African food, drumming and dancing. The food is cooked and served in the style and quantity of a lavish feast, including irresistible desserts. You are dressed in a chitenge (traditional sarong) and welcomed into a vibrant atmosphere on arrival. The tantalizing aromas of local dishes and game meat on the braai (barbecue) fill the restaurant partially open to the star-filled African sky.

Getting There

There are very few airlines that fly directly to Zimbabwe. Many of the international flights to Harare, Victoria Falls or Bulawayo require a change in South Africa, and then it’s only a short flight to the final destination. Most tourists fly to Victoria Falls Airport (VFA), found 18km/11mi south of the town of Victoria Falls, and continue from there by vehicle or charter plane. Hwange, Zimbabwe's most well-known park, is situated within driving distance of Victoria Falls. In most cases, your local tour administrator will orchestrate pick-up from the airport and arrange further transportation as a feature of your safari package.

Yes, a transfer from and back to the airport is included

Yes, additional accommodation can be arranged for an extra cost
