Day 1: Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe
On arrival at Victoria Falls Airport in Zimbabwe you will be met and transferred to Lokuthula Lodges. You have the remainder of the day at leisure for optional activities that are on offer like boat cruises, bungee jumping, elephant back safaris and many more.

Days 2 & 3: Victoria Falls to Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe
After breakfast we depart Victoria Falls and make our way to Hwange National Park. The afternoon is spent on a game drive with a visit to the Painted Dogs Centre. Hwange National Park is one of Africa's finest havens for wildlife and is home to vast herds of elephant, buffalo, zebra and has a very large concentration of giraffe. It is also home to many predators and endangered species plus very large and varied birdlife. The whole of the next day is spent exploring this magnificent park.

Days 4 & 5: Hwange National Park to Chobe National Park, Botswana
We leave the beauty of the Hwange National Park behind us and cross the border at Pandamantenga into Botswana and make our way to the Chobe National Park. We enjoy the rest of the afternoon on a sunset cruise on the Chobe River. Here we can watch elephants, hippos, lions, crocodiles and a variety of birds and more without having to reach for our binoculars - you'll be close enough for close-up photographs. The next morning we go on an open-vehicle game drive in the afternoon. After lunch, you have the remainder of the day at leisure or have the option to book another sunset cruise (optional and for own account).

Day 6: Chobe National Park to Victoria Falls. Zimbabwe
After a leisurely breakfast we cross the border back into Zimbabwe and drive back to where our adventure started - Victoria Falls. This afternoon we explore the Victoria Falls on a guided tour. There will still be time for optional activities should you wish to book more.

Day 7: End of tour
Depending on your departure time, you will be taken to Victoria Falls Airport for your onward flight. We hope to welcome you on one of our adventures again soon.
