Day 1
Arrivals & Welcome DInner!
Arrive at Victoria Falls airport in Zimbabwe, where you will be transferred to our hotel near the massive falls! Depending on what time you get in, you can either have some time to rest and refresh, or book one of the many add-on activities! Once everyone has arrived, we will have our Welcome Dinner where you'll meet your new travel-BFFs and get briefed for the trip!
Overnight at: Azambezi River Lodge
Day 2
Victoria Falls!
Rise and shine! It's time to chase one of the most epic waterfalls in the World! After breakfast we'll head to the park across from Victoria Falls to
see it face-on in all of its splendor! Warning: you WILL get wet!
Enjoy the "chillest" way of seeing Victoria Falls, before we throw an adrenaline rush your way! Next we're heading to the border of Zimbabwe
and Zambia for Ziplining! The photo to your right says it all! For those daring enough, let's see if you can replicate it! You can add-on a bungee jump down into the 111 meter gorge as well for an additional cost.
After we're done getting our adrenaline fix, we'll head back to the hotel to freshen up before a beautiful sunset cruise along the Zambezi River,
where you may be able spot hippos, crocodiles, and potentially an elephant!
We'll have a lovely three course dinners as we listen to the raucous of
the hippos and exotic birds while cruising back to the hotel for the night.
Overnight at: Azambezi River Lodge
Day 3
Devil's Pool & Elephant Cafe
After a relaxing breakfast, we will check out of the hotel, store our bags, and head to the famous Devil's Pool on the lip of Victoria Falls! We know you've all seen the photos!! For this activity we will head to ZAMBIA, where the only access to the pools and Livingstone Island is located.
This is actually the place where David Livingston first saw the enormous falls, and we'll tell you all about his epic adventures and contributions to
the area!
The Devil's Pool is another adrenaline pumping activity, but don't worry, the professional guides will make sure we are all safe as we carefully swim to the edge of one of the tallest waterfalls in the world!
Sidenote: if for some reason Devil's
Pool has too much water flow, we will go to Angel's Pool next to it, which is actually the one Alyssa did! This activity is also optional, so if you don't
feel comfortable doing it, you can still come on the boat to Livingstone Island for photos but not go to the edge!
The epicness doesn't end at the edge of the waterfall! For lunch we will go to Elephant Cafe; a former elephant-riding park that came to their senses and stopped offering rides, and instead makes money to support their elephants by serving lunch to guests while the ellies roam free! (lunch is not included)
Later we'll drive towards Botswana!
Overnight at: Kwalape safari lodge
Day 4
Mukuni Village & Botswana
After breakfast we'll check out again and head to the countryside of country number three; BOTSWANA!
We'll visit Mukuni Village, which is a royal village founded around the 13th century! The Chief's guides will be happy to show you their village and way of life, so you can experience a real slice of African village life (pre-colonization).
Then we'll head to our accommodation, have dinner, and spend the night close to Chobe National Park!
Overnight at: River View Lodge
Day 5
SAFARI!!
We hope you're ready for a SAFARI because we're waking up super early for a game drive in Chobe National Park! This park is known for large elephant
herds (there's 120k ellies in the park!) as well as a healthy population of lions and cheetahs! The Chobe River also has many hippos, Nile crocodiles, and
waterduck!
Other animals to keep an eye out for are leopards (hardest to spot...no pun intended), and the endangered African wild dog.
We'll have a bus h lunch mid-safari, then continue the drive, and later head back to our safari lodge for the night.
Overnight at: Chobe Safari Lodge
Day 6
Safari Day 2
Just in case you haven't seen enough animals yet, we'll head out on
another early morning safari through Chobe National Park, as we watch the
sunrise over the savanna!
Later we'll float down the Chobe River for three hours to take in the gorgeous views, and enjoy a leisurely lunch on a floating restaurant!
We'll then go on another boat for a sunset cruise before heading back to
the hotel for the night.
Overnight at: Chobe River Lodge
