Day 1: Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe
1700 metres wide and around 100 metres high, the Victoria Falls is one of the most memorable sights on this African overland tour. All year round, flights can be taken in fixed wing planes, micro lights or helicopters. Back on the ground, the falls can be seen from the Victoria Falls National Park with its many viewing points or from the Zambian side. All offer fantastic photographic opportunities.
White water rafting in the Batoka Gorge is considered to be world class. Besides the excitement of the grade 5 rapids, there are the 'floats', where there is time to admire the scenic cliffs and occasional wildlife on the riverbanks.
Optional activities around Victoria Falls include day trips into the Zambezi or Hwange National Parks, horse riding safaris, a visit to the Crocodile Ranch, Snake Park, golf at the Elephant Hills Hotel, parachuting, the Falls Craft Village. Breakfast is included. |
