Tour Overview

This trip is for African adventurers who want to extend their Delta and Deserts or Best of Botswana trips in the best way possible: taking a transfer to the majestic Victoria Falls. The world's largest waterfall, the thunderous power of this natural miracle has to be seen to be believed. We'll whizz you to the waterfall with included transfers and sort your comfy accommodation out, so you can focus on all the adventure activities available to you. We'll also include a tour of the falls and a dreamy sunset cruise to end your adventure on a high, but please note that this is an unguided trip. It offers you the easiest chance to see the falls when on another one of our epic group tours in Africa.

Location: Victoria Falls
Accommodation: Shearwater Explorer's Village (or similar)

Excited much? Make your way to your accommodation in Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders and the largest waterfall in the world. You might want to pack your raincoat, as during certain times of the year you can get drenched from the rising spray, giving the falls its local name: 'The smoke that thunders'. Please note: From January to June this trip puts you in the Victoria Falls Waterfront Hotel, Zambia, with a riverside deck and bar that overlooks the spray of the thunderous falls. Travelling from July to December? Don't worry, you're not missing out: we'll put you up in the Shearwater Explorers Village, Zimbabwe, just 400m from the falls - with bohemian cafes, curio markets and swimming pools to explore. It's win win, basically.

My amazing trip to Africa

13-Jan-2023

Sherif was an excellent tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable about every single small detail at each site that we visited. In addition to his great service, he has a glowing spirit that made me feel like I had family with me the entire trip. Anything that I was concerned about, he always had an answer and was there to help. I truly enjoyed my experience and will purchase a tour with him in the future
