Day 1 – Check in for your first two night’s accommodation at the magnificent 4.5* David Livingstone Safari Lodge & Spa. Day one includes a magnificent upper Zambezi sunset cruise on the Lady Livingstone, upstream from the mighty Victoria Falls.

Day 2- includes a dip in one of the most infamous swimming pools in the world – The Devils Pool! This is a natural rock-pool formed on the edge of the mighty Victoria Falls located on Livingstone Island. This is followed by a trip over to Zimbabwe to get a look of the Falls from a different perspective. Also included on day two is a trip to the local craft market.

Rounding off day two we take jet boat ride up river to the magnificent 5* dining experience that is the Elephant Cafe. This experience includes game viewing, elephant interaction with our very own elephants and an incredible 5* dining experience.

Day 3 – The 3 night white water rafting expedition begins with exploring the basalt cliffs and pools under the Victoria Falls. We then raft from rapid #1 through to the stunning camp site below rapid #10. This 9km of whitewater is some of the most intense on the planet, grade 5 rapids include The Stairway to Heaven and Gulliver’s Travels.

The second day rafting is a little more relaxed but watch out for The Mother and Oblivion and we raft all the way through to rapid #26.

The third full day on the River is a highlight for whitewater enthusiasts, from Rapid # 26 the Batoka gorge continuously changes its character and the gorge opens out at one point to rolling hills before closing up again as we approach the scenic Moemba Falls. Highlights include a forbidding Grade 5 rapid known as Open Season, Chimamba and the Grade 5 Upper Moemba Falls. We camp the third night between Upper Moemba Falls and the stunning Lower Moemba Falls. This beautiful campsite allows us to explore both the Falls and the wilderness.

Day 6 – After your final night of camping you take a helicopter ride out of the Gorge, get an amazing birds eye view of Victoria Falls (locally named the Flight of the Angels!) and look forward to the rest of the day at leisure at our accommodation for the night, The David Livingstone Safari Lodge & Spa.

Back at the David Livingstone Safari Lodge for your final night your stay includes a free 1.5 hour massage and a 2 hour sunset cruise on the fabulous Lady Livingstone.

Day 7 – Take a short trip over to Botswana for an incredible safari experience in the famous Chobe Game Park, famous for its large herds of elephants and Cape buffalo. Expect to see the big cats too if you are lucky. The Chobe experience also includes a river safari where you get to see the wildlife from a different perspective.

In Chobe you will stay at the magnificent Bakwena Safari Lodge on a Full-Board basis (local beer, wine and spirits included).

Day 8 – After a morning game drive in the Chobe National Park you make your way back to Zambia and your final night’s accommodation at the 5* River Club on a Full-Board basis.
