Day 4: Saturday, March 7, 2026

Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe 

The magnificent Victoria Falls, situated between Zambia and Zimbabwe, is larger than Niagara Falls in both height and width.

Our adventure starts with a flight from Johannesburg to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. Upon arrival, we'll check into the luxurious Victoria Falls Hotel, a historic landmark and the premier accommodation for visitors. The hotel, nestled in lush tropical gardens, exudes Edwardian elegance and provides stunning views of the Batoka Gorge, the Victoria Falls bridge, and the majestic falls – all within walking distance of the Victoria Falls rainforest.

During our two-night stay in Victoria Falls, we'll enjoy a behind-the-scenes bridge tour, a helicopter ride for a unique aerial view of the falls, and a captivating sunset cruise on the upper Zambezi River. The cruise will offer an unparalleled view of the area's beauty. As we gently cruise through the network of islands and channels above Victoria Falls, we'll see native birds and diverse wildlife, all set against the backdrop of the African sunset and the misty spray rising from the Falls.

The high-water season at this time of year allows our expert captain to skillfully navigate the boat, which is powered by unique aqua-jet engines that enable navigation in areas of the river other cruise boats cannot reach. This provides a truly awe-inspiring view, potentially similar to what Dr. David Livingstone saw when he first discovered the Falls in 1855. The vibrant wildlife, the stunning scenery, and the location's historical significance will make this sunset cruise a highlight of our Victoria Falls adventure.

For those seeking an even more extraordinary experience, we have included the thrill of a helicopter flight. This exhilarating aerial adventure will provide a breathtaking bird's-eye view of Victoria Falls in all its glory, showcasing the sheer scale of the falls, the mist-filled gorges, and the surrounding natural beauty.

Day 6: Monday, March 9, 2026    

Chobe National Park

We travel from Victoria Falls to Chobe National Park and our home for the next two nights, the elegant, five-star Chobe Game Lodge.

Botswana is renowned as the "land of the water safari." With a unique and abundant network of waterways providing diverse wildlife habitat. The Chobe River, which forms the northern border of Chobe National Park, is home to the world's largest concentration of elephants and large populations of hippos, crocodiles, and other aquatic animals. The park is also home to various wildlife, including lions, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, and many other species. We will enjoy game drives, boat cruises, and walking safaris.

Botswana's commitment to low-impact tourism and environmental protection has helped preserve its pristine wilderness and abundant wildlife. The government has implemented strict regulations to limit the number of visitors to sensitive areas and ensure sustainable tourism development. As a result, Botswana offers a more exclusive safari experience than many other African countries.

Chobe Game Lodge, our home for two nights, is full of history. It has hosted the British royal family and the second marriage (and honeymoon) of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Nestled in the heart of Botswana's Chobe National Park, the Chobe Game Lodge offers a luxurious and immersive safari experience. As the only permanent lodge within the park, it provides exclusive access to the abundant wildlife and breathtaking landscapes of the Chobe Riverfront.

Chobe National Park

Today, we continue our extraordinary journey into the heart of Chobe National Park, where exceptional wildlife viewing awaits both on land and water. The river, a lifeblood for the park's diverse ecosystem, attracts an abundance of animals, including majestic elephants, powerful buffalo, and massive hippos. This creates a unique and immersive safari experience that stands apart from any other location within Chobe.

The Chobe Game Lodge, our exclusive sanctuary within this wilderness, offers an unparalleled advantage. With the privilege of conducting game drives before the park officially opens its gates and after it closes for the day, we have the extraordinary opportunity to witness spectacular game viewing in the most tranquil and undisturbed settings. This allows for intimate encounters with the park's remarkable inhabitants, capturing the essence of the African wilderness in its purest form.

Steeped in history and one of the oldest hotels in Africa, The Victoria Falls Hotel serves as a reminder of the distinguished and elegant era to which it was born and has earned its status as the epitome of grand luxury travel.With dramatic views of the gorges of Zimbabwe's spectacular Victoria Falls, The Victoria Falls Hotel, built by the British in 1904, was originally conceived as accommodation for workers on the Cape-to-Cairo railway and today it is a famous luxury brand. Serene Lily ponds, arched loggias, and broad verandas – offering magnificent vistas - seem custom-built for a spot of high tea or a relaxed gin and tonic - one of the truly special places in the world.


 

Chobe Game Lodge | Botswana

Established in 1973, Chobe Game Lodge is one of the most famous lodges in Botswana and the only permanent lodge located within the renowned Chobe National Park. This privileged location allows guests to be the first to enter the park every morning and the last to leave, providing photographers with a significant advantage.
