An African Beast Safaris driver guide will meet and transfer you to the lodge. Later in the afternoon, at 3:30pm, you will be picked up from the lodge for a relaxing sunset cruise on the mighty Zambezi River. The Zambezi is the fourth-longest river in Africa, the longest east-flowing river in Africa, and the largest flowing into the Indian Ocean from Africa. Its drainage basin covers 1,390,000 km², slightly less than half of the Nile's. The 2 574-kilometer-long river rises in Zambia and flows through eastern Angola, along the north-eastern border of Namibia and the northern border of Botswana, then along the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe to Mozambique, where it crosses the country to empty into the Indian Ocean.

Early Morning Game Drive and Tour of Victoria Falls
Enjoy an early morning game drive before heading back to Victoria Falls. Victoria Falls is not the widest or tallest waterfall in the world, but it is undoubtedly the most impressive.
Known by locals as Mosi-oa-Tunya, or “the smoke that thunders,” it was first seen by Western eyes in 1855 when British explorer David Livingstone came upon it and named it after his queen. Reflecting on the experience of seeing Victoria Falls for the first time, he wrote, “Scenes so lovely must be gazed upon by angels in their flight.”
The cataract still has the power to strike awe. It spans about a mile—the entire width of the Zambezi River—and drops a distance about twice the height of Niagara Falls into a narrow gorge in one seemingly continuous sheet, forcing mist to rise high into the sky. Not only can you see it, but you can hear it (from about a mile away), feel it, smell it, and taste it.
