5 Day Chobe Mobile Safari & Victoria Falls (Accommodated Overland Safari)
Days 1 & 2: Victoria Falls (B on day 2)
Victoria Falls or Mosi-oa-Tunya (the Smoke that Thunders) is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World and it's not difficult to see why. At 1700 m wide and around 100 m high, this is the world's largest sheet of falling water and a memorable sight on any African Safari! The Falls can be viewed from the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, Zambia and the Victoria Falls National Park, Zimbabwe. Each offer fantastic photo opportunities. The day is spent participating in a myriad of Optional Excursions.
Optional excursions include elephant back safaris, horse back safaris and a rhino walk. Adrenalin junkies can bungee from the Victoria Falls Bridge connecting Zimbabwe and Zambia or abseil down the Batoka Gorge - neither activity is for the faint hearted! All year round, flights in fixed wing, micro light and ultra light aircraft or helicopters provide an aerial perspective over this magnificent World Heritage Site. White water rafting on the Zambezi is world class. Beside the excitement of the Grade 5 rapids, there are the 'floats', where there is time to admire the scenic cliffs and the occasional wildlife on the riverbanks.
Accommodation: Lodge
Day 3: Chobe National Park (B / L / D)
After breakfast we cross the border into Botswana and head to Kasane where we transfer to the Chobe Mobile team for our overnight excursion in the Chobe National Park. The Chobe River forms a border between Botswana and Namibia and Zambia and is the life-line to wildlife within the park. The late afternoon sees us take a boat cruise along the Chobe River. Elephant, hippo and many bird species including the regal African Fish Eagle and Pied Kingfisher can be viewed from the boat while we watch another glorious African sunset. Our mobile camp tonight affords the rare opportunity to spend the night within the wilderness - enjoy the night sounds of the true African wilds.
Accommodation: Tented Camp
