Itinerary
Meeting Place
Victoria Falls Airport, Zimbabwe
Livingston Zambia,
Arrive at Victoria Falls Airport, Zimbabwe (or Livingston, Zambia). Soon after you land we will transfer to the Imbabala Safari Lodge and rendezvous with our trip leader for a welcome briefing. We’ll enjoy a toast after flying halfway around the world to converge on the incredible Victoria Falls
Day 1:
Arrive at Victoria Falls Airport, transfer to Imbabala Safari Lodge and meet with trip leader for welcome briefing. While at Imbabala, choose morning, afternoon or night drives or even a sunset river safari to get up close and personal with the wonderful game viewing of elephants & leopards!
Day 2:
Day trip into Botswana to Chobe National Park by boat and safari vehicle. Hippos, crocs, and elephants will dominate the landscape but zebra, cheetahs and lions are seen regularly. Tonight, we will return to the serenity and charm of our private camp. Overnight Imbabla.
Day 3:
Inflatable kayak safari to explore the Upper Zambezi & its network of coves& shoots. Tour of Victoria Falls, lunch at the lookout & fun opportunities to try zip lining, gorge swings or a canopy tour before we take a scenic ride in to the river camp with baboons. Riverside resort camp overnight.
Day 4:
2-person “kayaks” which are stable and easy to maneuver with fun rapids, but even better wildlife viewing. Overnighting on the banks of the Zambezi you should be ready for anything. Trips in the past have been woken up early by large herds of elephants crossing the river, more on noc.com
