Your departure is scheduled for 9:15 am, arriving at 11:00 am(1h35min).   You will be met at Victoria Falls Airport in the small arrivals section. From there you will head to the nearby Victoria Falls Town and the actual Victoria Falls just beyond. You will do a guided tour of the Falls (1.5 hours). You'll have an opportunity to return to the Falls on your own tomorrow, if you so prefer.

 From the Falls you will be transferred to your hotel. In the evening you will enjoy a Boma Dinner (traditional enclosure with fire pit) with cultural program just outside of town.

 Overnight: The Kingdom Hotel - 3 star - 2 nights - Bed & Breakfast

Monday, June 29 - Full day for optional adventure / wilderness activities

Your tour of the Victoria Waterfalls was conducted on the day of your arrival, in order to allow a full day to engage in activities of your choice today. These activities are all optional, i.e. for your own account. You may book these activities through your hotel's tours desk after your arrival.

 Optional activities include:

·         Elephant back safari

·         Lion encounters (walking in the bush with young lions)

·         White water rafting ½ day or full day

·         Bungee jumping (2^nd highest commercial site in the world)

·         Jet Boat trips

·         Helicopter flip over the falls

·         Fixed wing aircraft flip over the falls 

For a good idea of what is on offer in and around Victoria Falls, have a look at Shearwater Adventures' website at: www.shearwateradventures.com. The company started life as a specialist white water rafting company, operating trips on what is generally accepted to be the best white water rafting run in the world - the Zambezi River in the narrow gorge below the Victoria Falls. It still specialises in this awesome activity. However it is also the best operator / broker for most other activities in the region. If you prefer, we can pre-book activities for you through Shearwater. We add no mark-up, thus you get your chosen activity at exactly the same rate you will pay once in-country.

 Depending on whether you choose one of the above activities and the length of your chosen activity you will probably have a lot of time left to return to the Falls on your own and explore this magnificent natural wonder at your own leisure (entrance fee for own account).

 Late afternoon you will be picked up for the ever-popular sunset cruise on the mighty Zambezi River, upstream from the Falls. You will be returned to your hotel in time for dinner.

 Overnight: The Kingdom Hotel - Bed & Breakfast
