Zimbabwe offers the visitor a host of natural wonders, not least of which is the legendary Victoria Falls. Mosi-Oa-Tunya - the smoke that thunders, stretches over 1.5 km as it plunges over 100 metres into the Zambezi gorge below.

Day 1            Arrival in Victoria Falls

Depart from O.R. Tambo to Victoria Falls Airport. Upon arrival you will be met and assisted by an iKapa International Travel Management Company representative as you are transferred to the hotel located in Victoria Falls.

In the afternoon, you will be collected for a sunset cruise on the Zambezi River.  As you drift leisurely along the Zambezi River, keep an eye out for animals making the way to the riverbank to quench their thirst or bathing hippos, hungry crocodiles lying in wait for their meal. Nothing can prepare you for the tranquility that this immense river offers you only a few kilometers from the falls. Soft drinks, beers, spirits and snacks are served while the beautiful sun sets on the horizon of the river.

Overnight:        Hotel                        Sunset Cruise, Bed

Day 2            Tour of the Falls

In the morning after you enjoyed breakfast, you will be collected at your hotel and transferred to the meeting point of Tour of the Falls.

When doctor David Livingstone first saw the falls in November 1855 he was in the company of two local tribesmen who showed him this Mighty Wonder of the World. This site today is a world heritage site with the largest curtain of falling water on the planet. The entire width of the fall is 1 700m, so some walking is expected on this trip. Clients get the same feeling as one of our professional guides take them on this amazing trip.

The tour begins with the visit to the biggest Baobab tree in Zimbabwe that is over 1000 years old, known as The Big Tree. It is neither old nor big by Baobab standards, 20 meters tall and 16 meters around its trunk and only one third of the way to its full life expectation. This tree is a short drive from the Mighty Victoria Falls where a guided tour of the falls begins which goes as far as the Victoria Falls Bridge that was built in 1902 by a British Company.

The Zambezi River is Africa's fourth longest river (2700km) which flows from the Kalene hills in Zambia through Zimbabwe and finally into the Indian Ocean during which it drops 483m down to the Ocean.

Return to your hotel where the rest of the day is spent at leisure.
