The Smoke that Thunders
Victoria Falls is an exquisite natural wonder- a bucket list must-do when travelling through Southern Africa. This 3-day Victoria Falls Package on Zimbabwe side will get you up close to Mosi-Oa Tunya (the “smoke that thunders”) and is the perfect add-on to the start or end of an African safari. The area surrounding the falls forms a hub of activities, so there is plenty to keep you occupied.
As this package is fully customisable, you are also free to extend your stay to really make the most of your time there. Besides a guided tour of the area, this package also includes a river cruise over the mighty Zambezi River at sunset. You can also use this time to simply relax and soak up the atmosphere at Victoria Falls Safari Lodge, which overlooks the Zambezi National Park. Watch a herd of elephants coming down to drink at the water's edge with your own drink in hand.
