Day 1
You will be met at Victoria Falls Airport and transferred to your hotel situated near the mighty Zambezi River.
 
Located in the Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area (KAZA), where the borders of five African countries converge, the sheer scale of this vast international conservation project is difficult to comprehend. It encompasses a bewildering range of experiences, ranging from the mighty Victoria Falls to the lifeforce of the region, the Zambezi and Chobe Rivers.
 
Check in, settle in and relax whilst you catch your first glimpses of the magnificent Smoke That Thunders first discovered by Dr. David Livingstone and still one of the greatest natural wonders of the world. The flow of water over the Victoria Falls is greatest from February to June following the summer rains, but they are a magnificent sight at any time of year.
 
Note: As there is no lifting equipment at the airport, you will be carried on and off the aircraft using an aisle chair. All Victoria Falls transfers are in a regular non-adapted vehicle.
Day 2
Today we visit the mighty Victoria Falls and its rainforest, which offers magnificent views.
 
Afterwards you may wish to visit Elephants Walk, a small crafts complex where you can see talented local artists and sculptors at work and support them by buying one of their items. Alternatively you can participate in various optional activities, such as a helicopter flight over the falls.
 
In the late afternoon enjoy a cruise on the Zambezi River where you may see hippos, crocodiles and abundant bird life.
 
Note: All Victoria Falls transfers are in a regular non-adapted vehicle. On the Zambezi cruise you will need to be lifted into the boat, so this excursion is only suitable for manual wheelchairs. There is no accessible toilet on board.
 
Take light rainwear for when the falls are full.

Adrenalin seekers come here to participate in adventure activities such as canoeing down the Zambezi River, white water rafting in the turbulent gorge below the falls, abseiling and bungee jumping from Victoria Falls Bridge.
 
You can also enjoy optional game drives in Zambezi National Park, or a traditional 'boma' dinner with African drumming.
