Victoria Falls Explorer Tour

This 3-night tour is an ideal extension tour for a safari in South Africa, Botswana or Zimbabwe/Zambia. It features a choice of riverside lodges on the banks of the Zambezi river. All these Riverside lodges include a range of activities such as game drives on offer, sunset boat cruises, bush walks, village tours and of course a trip to visit the Victoria Falls.

Overview

This 3-night tour is an ideal extension tour for a safari in South Africa, Botswana or even Zimbabwe/Zambia. We have made it more leisurely than our 2-night Victoria Falls Extension Tour because this tour features the riverside lodges on the banks of the Zambezi river (either on the Zimbabwe side or the Zambian side.)

At these lodges, you can include a visit to Victoria Falls and even enjoy some of the other excursions that the Falls are famous for. Think helicopter trips, canoeing, white water rafting. BUT the key difference is that at these Riverside lodges, you also have many other excursions on offer such as sgame drives (Zimbabwean lodges), sunset boat cruises, canoeing, boating, fishing, bush walks, village tours.

The exact activities on offer do vary depending on the lodge so discuss what appeals with your Cedarberg Africa expert.

Visit to the Falls

We have included the National park fees as everyone wants to see the Falls during their stay. The Falls are a truly awe-inspiring experience – the sights, sounds and, smell of nature’s supreme force. No photograph can begin to depict the reality… and nothing prepares you for your first sight. This takes the form of a walk in the natural rain-forest with a knowledgeable and informative local guide. You’ll discover how the Falls were formed and what local customs and traditions surround them. Take a raincoat and something to protect your camera!

The tour includes road transfers from the airport, Park fees for a Victoria Falls visit, included activities (which vary slightly by lodge) and all local drinks/house wines.

We can easily tailor-make this tour to reduce it to two nights if you prefer. Or even to add on other excursions such as a helicopter flip.

Please note that the price below doesn't include the flight INTO Victoria Falls as you may be flying in from Johannesburg, the Kruger National Park or Cape Town. This will be adding at time of quotation. The flight price also varies considerably depending on when you book, so we recommend booking as early as possible,
