Day 3 - Victoria Falls
After breakfast enjoy a guided walking tour of Victoria Falls, one of seven natural wonders of the world.
Join your passionate and knowledgeable guide on an unforgettable tour. En route, make a stop at the Big Tree for spectacular views and to take photos. A visit to the iconic Victoria Falls is a truly awe-inspiring experience. Nothing can quite prepare one for the sheer splendour of the breathtaking spectacle which is one of Africa’s most famous landmarks.
There is not much that can compare to the heady fragrance of drenched earth and sun-kissed Rainforest foliage; the intense power of the wall of water – its deafening rumble coursing through your veins – or letting the cooling and constant spray of “the Smoke that Thunders” saturate the senses.
Tour of the Falls
With intimate knowledge of the local fauna and flora and other points of historical interest, coupled with advice on the best viewing spots, your guide will happily assist wherever possible to help ensure that the memories created at this World Heritage Site will last a lifetime.
If staying at Victoria Falls River Lodge, you have the option of a sunrise or sunset river cruise, which you can watch from the comfort of Victoria Falls River Lodge’s private river cruiser. In the early morning as the world awakes and the sun’s first rays skip and dance across the shimmering surface of the might Zambezi.
Or in the evening sit back and let the gentle ebb and flow of the Zambezi lull and relax you. Join in on Mother Nature’s Happiest Hour by sipping on a sun-downer while watching her creatures big and small coming to the water’s edge to lap at its liquid life under the molten skies. If staying at Stanley and Livingstone, you'll also enjoy a superb Zambezi River cruise, soaking in the rays of the sun and enjoying the fantastic views, with perhaps a few elephants making an apeparance.
This evening, after returning to your hotel, enjoy an inspiring and unique Southern African meal served in the distinctive thatched riverside dining area.
Accommodation: Victoria Falls River Lodge (B, L, D) OR Stanley and Livingstone Hotel (B, D)

TRAVELER TESTIMONIAL
The Victoria Falls River Lodge was beyond our expectations. The cabin was large and luxurious with a huge bed and room big enough for almost all the grandchildren (if they had come). We had great food and service, and a spectacular river cruise. The game drive guide was very good and knowledgeable about the birds. This was a thing with me, so I did not mind not seeing as many elephants, lions, etc.
Thank you very much,
Aryeh and Sheila
