Two countries, one easy base
This five-day trip keeps you in one comfortable hotel just a short walk from Victoria Falls, while giving you the best of two countries. You see the Falls up close, cruise the Zambezi at sunset, and cross into Botswana for a full day among the vast elephant herds of Chobe National Park, with plenty of free time left for your own adventures.
Shearwater Explorers Village
Your base is a lively, good-value hotel in the heart of Victoria Falls town, close to restaurants and craft markets yet overlooking quiet bush and a waterhole popular with elephants and buffalo. Leafy gardens attract plenty of birdlife, and on some mornings you may even feel spray drifting over from the Falls.
Zambezi sunset and the Falls rainforest
On your first evening, board a sunset cruise on the Zambezi River and enjoy dinner on deck as the stars appear. The next morning your guide leads you through the rainforest facing the Falls, with viewpoints along the edge of the gorge.
A full day in Chobe
Day three takes you to the Kazungula border, where a Botswana guide meets you. Spend the morning on a boat cruise along the Chobe River, where elephants, hippos, crocodiles and buffalo gather at the water. After lunch at a riverside hotel, continue on an afternoon game drive in Chobe National Park before returning to Victoria Falls at about 18:30.
Free time your way
Day four and your last morning are free. Relax by the pool, explore town, or add optional experiences such as a helicopter flight, gorge swing, cultural village visit or Devil's Pool in the dry season. Ask us and we will arrange them.
