Zimbabwe is home to one of the finest natural wonders of the world, the aptly described, mighty Victoria Falls. Vic Falls simply cannot be beaten for the variety of fun to be had at this, the adventure playground of Africa.  The Zambezi River and the Batoka Gorge has given rise to an array of adventure activities in a town 'built for tourism', from bungi jumping, white water rafting, jet boating, micro-light flips over The Falls... and so much more.  Combine Victoria Falls with the safari action in Chobe Botswana, at max a two hour drive from The Falls and you have adventure coupled with a superb safari experience in Chobe.  World renowned for the huge number of elephants within the Chobe National Park, you will not be disappointed - with elephant 'everywhere' and a myriad of other bird life and wildlife, including the Big Five, a Vic Falls and Chobe holiday will bring many delights.
 
 
Itinerary  Highlights

Day 1:  Arrive Victoria Falls 
On arrival at Victoria Falls Airport you will be met and transferred to your hotel. This afternoon enjoy a sundowner cruise on the Zambezi River.  A sundowner cruise on the Zambezi (above the Victoria Falls) is certainly one of the highlights of the area - you will be witness to a dramatic sunset, as you take in the surrounding wilderness.

Day 2 - 3:  Victoria Falls 
Depart on a morning tour to Victoria Falls - aptly described by the first European missionary and explorer to view The Falls, Sir. David Livingstone in his journal of 1855 "...scenes so lovely must have been gazed upon by angels in their flight".

Day 4:  Victoria Falls / Chobe 
Transfer by road from Victoria Falls to Chobe in Botswana.  The Chobe National Park is a reserve renowned for its impressive elephant populations, which you will no doubt witness on an exciting game drive late this afternoon in an open safari vehicle.  Chobe is home to all of Africa's Big Five, along with many other species of antelope and reptile as well as a sheer astounding number of birds - bird lovers will be entranced.

Day 5:  Chobe 
Enjoy another exhilarating game drive in an open safari vehicle in the early morning, and experience the romance of the Chobe River on a sundowner safari cruise.

Day 6:  Depart Chobe / Victoria Falls 
This morning enjoy your last game activity before checking out and transferring back to Victoria Falls Airport for your onward journey.

Optional Pre & Post Tours

Thompsons Africa offer a range of day tours in Victoria Falls on the Zimbabwean and the Zambian side of The Falls as well as from within Chobe.

For a real back to nature experience, why not replace the Chobe accommodated portion of this holiday with our Chobe Wildlife Tented Safari. When we say tented, we certainly don't mean basic - situated in the heart of the Chobe National Park, fire side bush cuisine, accompanied by the sounds of the African bush pressing close, is an awesome experience.

Another option to 'replace' your Chobe accommodated portion of your safari holiday, is to hop on board the Ichobezi Safari Boat.  This intimate 'double decker' boat (only four cabins on board) will provide you with elevated views of the Chobe National Park and all of the wildlife contained therein.  Along with excellent cuisine, a small plunge pool on deck, drinks at the ready and comfortable cabins - this is a fantastic and 'different' safari option.  The boat in itself is a unique and enjoyable experience.
