Experience Overview
Experience the classic Zimbabwe, as you visit the famous Victoria Falls along with two famous National Parks. At Vic Falls, chance your luck and swim out to the Devil’s Pool or hop aboard a microlite, which would bestow unparalleled views of the Vic Falls themselves. During your time in the bush, spot Big 5 animals up-close. Zimbabwe is truly a hidden treasure in Africa; you will not spot many tourists and feel as though the bush is all yours to explore.
Sample Itinerary
Victoria Falls
Explore Victoria Falls. Resting on the southern banks of the Zambezi River at the western end of the eponymous falls, this popular tourist town is compact enough to walk around and makes an ideal base for travellers exploring the seventh wonder of the world, the unfathomably vast Victoria Falls. About two-thirds of the falls can be viewed from the Zimbabwean side and, while the falls are undoubtedly the star attraction, the area provides both adventure seekers and sightseers with plenty of opportunities to warrant a longer stay. Popular activities include scenic flights over the falls in helicopters or microlights, bungee jumping off the Victoria Falls Bridge, white-water rafting (seasonal), and day trips to Chobe National Park. The town itself offers some excellent accommodation and restaurant options as well as an eclectic variety of African curios and authentic art sold by friendly Zimbabwean locals who are wonderfully welcoming and eager to help you enjoy your stay.
