Day 1 & 2: Victoria Falls (Zim) ( 2 nights )

Welcome to Zimbabwe. Welcome to Victoria Falls. You have two nights here to explore the falls and enjoy activities. Your holiday has just begun. Transfer to your lodge on arrival.

When you're there: Go see the falls of course, either on your own or with a guide. Explore the rain forest and the many viewpoints. The Zimbabwean side certainly doesn't disappoint. You have one full day here so use it wisely. Do the activities you most wish to do. There are loads of them so you'll have to be picky. Our recommendations: a guided tour of the falls, a helicopter flight over the falls and a Zambezi River cruise at sunset along with whatever else you most wish to do and as you can fit in.

Extend the Zambezi River Cruise to enjoy dinner on board for one night and for the other, dine at the lodge restaurant or head into town or book an authentic Zimbabwean dinner experience at The Boma Restaurant.

You can ask the lodge reception to assist with booking your activities and making any necessary reservations for you.
