Victoria Falls - Livingstone - Zambia

On arrival at Livingstone Airport, you are met and transferred to your hotel. The hotel is within easy walking distance of Victoria Falls, to which you have free & unlimited access.
Victoria Falls presents a spectacular view of the Zambezi River, forming the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. Columns of spray can be seen from miles away as, up to more than five hundred million cubic meters of water per minute plummet over the edge, over a breadth of nearly two kilometers, into a gorge over one hundred meters below. The wide cliff over which the falls thunder, transforms the Zambezi from a placid river into a ferocious torrent cutting through a series of dramatic gorges. Getting up close to the falls is what Livingstone is all about. Here you can stand at the very edge of the thunderous abyss.
Inside the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, there are pathways alongside the gorge edge that give you incredible panoramas of the Eastern Cataract, one of five cataracts of Victoria Falls.

On Safari - South Luangwa National Park

An early wake up call signals the start of yet another day in the African bush.
Morning safaris are the perfect way to see and photograph Zambia’s big mammals. Wildlife Camp’s safaris are not just about driving around looking for animals, our knowledgeable guides can tell you all you ever wanted to know about a great variety of mammals, birds, insects and trees as well as some insight into the local history and people of the area. Enquire about the availability of other midday activities such as visiting a local village.

Night drive safaris are often filled with excitement and are not to be missed! Our guides are accompanied by spotters on these drives. Your lodge has the most experienced spotters in the area, and you’ll be amazed to see how they spot even chameleons at night. The park is famous throughout Africa for its excellent leopard sightings and even though sightings of specific predators can't be guaranteed, you will have exciting encounters with a wide variety of animals.
