Morning Game Drive and Afternoon Boat Cruise

In the early morning, you will head out for a game drive where you can see big cats hunting, elephants, giraffes, buffalos, plus more as the checklist of mammals reaches 76. You'll continue browsing the drive circuits to the Delta point for a cocktail of birds and mammals. After the game drives, you'll go for lunch before it is time for a 3-hour boat ride to the base of the falls where you get to see hippos (you have never seen more hippos yawning and grooming in their pods anywhere else than here)! Nile crocodiles, elephants, and various beautiful bird species along the banks. If you are a keen birder, this might be your magnet to catch them. This is a grand start to your visit to this great animal home.
