Settle in and enjoy the outlook (every room has national park views from the balcony), follow one of the nature trails or perhaps relax by the pool.The natural waterhole here draws in all sorts of wildlife, from elephants to buffalo, impalas and waterbuck. It’s a great spot for birdwatching, too - this time of year is particularly good for twitchers, as the resident species are showing off their breeding plumage.
Day 3 : Victoria Falls

Today, we head for the world’s largest waterfall: Victoria Falls. You’ll hear it before you see it - the sound of millions of gallons of water pouring down into the Zambezi River every minute is quite something.We’ll view the Falls from their best angle, on the Zimbabwe side, and admire the rainforest, constantly drenched by the spray.Later this afternoon, we’ll take to the Zambezi for a sunset cruise. Snacks and drinks will be served, and we’ll be on the lookout for elephants, hippos and crocodiles splashing and frolicking in the day’s last light. It’s another ideal birdwatching opportunity, so don’t forget your binoculars.
