IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Highlights of the Journey
Victoria Falls
- Often called the greatest curtain of falling water on Earth, Victoria Falls is one of Africa’s most breath-taking natural attractions.
- Straddling the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia, the Falls can be viewed from scenic rainforest paths and viewpoints along the gorge. The thunderous cascade and rising spray create an unforgettable spectacle.
Hwange National Park
- Hwange is Zimbabwe’s largest and oldest national park and is internationally renowned for its impressive elephant population. The park supports a wide range of wildlife, including lion, leopard, buffalo, giraffe, zebra and the endangered African wild dog.
- Excellent birding opportunities make Hwange a rewarding destination for nature enthusiasts.
Sunset Cruise on the Zambezi River
- A sunset cruise on the Zambezi River offers a peaceful way to experience the region’s beauty. As the sun dips below the horizon, watch for hippos, crocodiles, elephants and a variety of birdlife along the riverbanks — a perfect end to a day in Victoria Falls.
