Victoria Falls - Zimbabwe and Chobe National Park - Botswana
Tour Code: RTI-ZIM03
Trip Length: 6 Days
This itinerary is for the person who just can not get enough of game viewing and animals! We have combined a visit to the Falls with the great game viewing found in nearby Chobe National Park in Botswana. Animals, animals, animals! You can use this itinerary as an add-on to other safaris or we can add extra days to make it your main trip. Chobe National Park has huge herds of elephant, many hippos, buffalo and large numbers of plains game. Game drives here are always exciting. Bird life is prolific as well.
The Smoke that Thunders!!! Victoria Falls is truly one of the great spectacles
of the world. The Falls spans two countries: Zambia and Zimbabwe. Both sides offer spectacular
views. The Zambian side can disappoint from Aug through Feb as the flow on that side tends to
decrease in this time frame depending on the rains. The Zimbabwe side always puts on a show!
Combine this with superior hotels as well as activities and you will find the perfect place to
end your safari to Africa. There is no doubt that Zimbabwe has been having political issues in
recent years but the Falls have been left relatively unaffected by them. The hotels are well
stocked and the tours are all professionally run. Clients from all over the world come to enjoy
them as they have for generations.
Included in this package are some prime activities. We will
do a walking tour of the Falls which is a National Park and has many overlooks for your enjoyment.
Also we will walk with lions and ride elephants into the bush! These animal encounters will
allow you to get up-close and personal with these magnificent animals. Finally we will go on
a sunset cruise on the Zambezi River were hippos abound as well as many other animals and
birds.
