Arrival at Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe
Arrival at Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe
Have a meet and greet with the ASM Travel Guide at the Victoria Falls Airport and then be transferred to Bayete Collections Lodges or a similar lodge for a 3-night stay. On arrival, you'll check in and then embark on an afternoon dinner cruise on the mighty Zambezi River.
The Zambezi River is the fourth-longest in Africa, the longest east-flowing river in Africa and the largest flowing into the Indian Ocean from Africa. The area of its basin is 1,390,000 square kilometres, slightly less than half of the Nile. Enjoy the best of both worlds: a spectacular Zambezi dinner cruise followed by a 4-course meal freshly prepared on-board and served to you while cruising along the river with the sounds of the African bush providing your background music. Guests are welcomed on board with a chilled flute of sparkling wine and snacks before they settle down.

Day 2
Victoria Falls
Victoria Falls
After a hearty breakfast, we will drive to the rainforest for a 2-hour guided tour of the falls. Victoria Falls, known by the local Kololo tribe as Mosi-oa-Tunya, meaning "the smoke that thunders", is one of the Seven Wonders of the World and one of the largest and most spectacular waterfalls on earth.
In the afternoon, we take off for lunch. We'll enjoy delicious meals overlooking the Zambezi River at the Lookout Café, situated above the spectacular chasm of the Batoka Gorge. It is an ideal restaurant - not to be missed! The semi open-air café offers undoubtedly the best view in Victoria Falls,.
You can go on an optional helicopter "flight of angels" (12-15 minutes). To put the Victoria Falls into true perspective, they must really be seen from the air. The sheer size and grandeur of the spectacle become clear when viewed from above.
We will end the day at the Boma Dinner Dance and Drum Show.

Chobe National Park Tour
We'll have breakfast in the morning, and at 07h00, drive towards Kasane, Botswana, for a day trip. We will experience a full-day excursion with 3-hour activities in the famous Chobe National Park. Get the best of both worlds in specially adapted open 4x4 game-drive vehicles and by boat cruise.
You will be picked up for your activity, a river cruise in the park. This cruise offers an opportunity to see a host of waders, waterbirds, and the ever-present crocodiles and lurking hippos. After 3 hours in the river, you return, and a satisfying lunch is served. After a 1-hour lunch break, guests head off on a game drive, getting close to nature with open 4x4 vans. Chobe has the highest elephant density in the world. Frequent lion sightings occur in Chobe, and sables and roan antelopes are common.
We will have dinner at Three Monkeys, famous for its giant wood-fired pizza and burgers with cocktails. It must be one of the most photographed spots in town!
