The Smoke That Thunders, in five-star comfort
Victoria Falls, known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya, "the smoke that thunders", is the world's largest sheet of falling water, plunging into the Zambezi gorges on the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia. This relaxed three-day escape pairs the Falls' two signature experiences with two nights at the elegant Palm River Hotel, set in lush riverside gardens with an outdoor pool and fine-dining restaurant.
Sunset on the Zambezi
Your first evening begins on the upper Zambezi. As the sun drops behind the palm-fringed islands, watch hippos on the sandbanks and elephants coming down to drink, glass of sparkling wine and canapés in hand. The cruise ends with a gourmet dinner featuring local flavours.
Walking in the mist
The next morning your guide leads you along the rainforest trail facing the Falls. Sunlight filters through ancient trees, spray drifts across the paths, and every viewpoint reveals a new angle of the cascading water.
Time for your own adventure
Afternoons and your final morning are free. Relax at the hotel, take the complimentary shuttle into Victoria Falls town, or add optional experiences such as a helicopter flight, a game drive, bungee jumping or a boma dinner. Ask us and we will arrange them for you.
