Detailed Itinerary
Victoria Falls - Hwange National Park
Day 1: Journey to Southern Africa
Upon arrival in gorgeous Southern Africa, you will be met by our experienced guide at the Victoria Falls Airport. You will then embark on a road trip to Hwange Safari Lodge.
You'll drive through rural villages with traditional huts, rural hospitals, school, and churches and will have a brief roadside stop at the Painted Dog Conservation to learn how locals work to protect the local painted dog population in Zimbabwe.
After check-in and lunch, you will depart on a 3-hour late afternoon game drive. This is the best time as the sunsets are stunning and most of the game will be flocking towards waterholes. Your guide will take you to several waterholes in the park for you to get some unparalleled views of the animals.
Hwange National Park
Day 2: Wildlife Watching in Hwange National Park
After a hearty breakfast, your experienced guide will pick you up for a full day safari in the Hwange National Park. You'll have the incredible opportunity to spot massive elephants in the water, drinking and bathing themselves. You'll also see buffalo, giraffe, and wildebeest grazing nearby.
After your first game drive, you'll have a picnic lunch with lots of refreshments to cool you off atop one of the many viewing platforms that dot the park.
You will be back at the lodge in mid-afternoon where you can relax and enjoy the rest of the day at your own pace. Relax in your room or stroll around the grounds, maybe even both!

Today it's time to discover the majesty and power of Vicotria Falls. On our guided tour of awe inspiring natural wonder, the raging waters of the Zambezi River will definitely leave you breathless as they outpour into the famous Batoka Gorge.
The tour will carry you through the segments of the Victoria Falls rainforest to the cliffs opposite the titanic waterfall. From that standpoint, you will be rewarded with panoramic views of the main falls. Your guide will take you through the hypnotizing specifics of the geology, wildlife, and history of Africa’s leading landmark.
In the afternoon, enjoy a Zambezi River sunset cruise or a daring helicopter flight over the heavenly waters.
Chobe National Park Botswana

After your game drive, take a river cruise on the peaceful Chobe River and keep your eye out for crocodiles waiting in the shadows. Your local guide will point out many different species of stunning birds along the way.

Victoria Falls
Day 5: An Incredible Final Day at Victoria Falls
On your last day at Victoria Falls, you'll have some time to gaze at the gorgeous waterfall one last time.
If you have the time, you might want to try a daring activity such as bungee jumping over the falls bridge or swimming in the Devil's Pool right above the falls. If that's not your idea of a fun time, spend your last hours shopping near the visitor's center and soak up the sights and sounds.
Before you know it, you'll embark on your road transfer to the airport where you'll catch your flight home. You'll no doubt be sad to leave, but you'll have made memories to last a lifetime.
