5 Days Victoria Falls and Chobe National Park Tour

Transfer from Airport

On arrival to begin on your tour we will pick you up from Victoria Falls Airport and transfer you to The Telescope Boutique Lodge where you will stay for two nights.

Sunset Dinner Cruise

You will be picked by your driver from your lodge to enjoy the best of both worlds, a spectacular Sunset Cruise on the magnificent Zambezi River. The cruise begins as the golden hour casts a warm glow over the water, providing the ideal backdrop for a refreshing cocktail or a glass of wine. As you glide peacefully upstream, away from the thunder of the falls, you’ll be on the lookout for the river’s iconic residents. Hippos emerge from the water with a grunt, crocodiles bask on the sandbanks, and elephants often come to the river’s edge for a final drink, silhouetted against the setting sun. As the sun dips below the horizon in a fiery spectacle of colour, a delicious three or four-course gourmet dinner, freshly prepared on board, will be served. Savour a meal of local and international cuisine under the vast, star-studded African sky. This is an evening of fine dining, unparalleled natural beauty, and ultimate relaxation, creating a truly romantic and memorable experience on the tranquil waters of the Zambezi.

Prepare to be captivated by a guided walking tour of Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. Our expert local guides will lead you through the lush rainforest, a unique ecosystem sustained by the perpetual spray from the falls, known locally as ‘Mosi-oa-Tunya’—’The Smoke That Thunders.’ As you follow the well-maintained paths, you’ll feel the cool mist on your face and hear the thunderous roar of the Zambezi River cascading into the gorge. Your guide will take you to 16 key vantage points, each offering a distinct and breathtaking perspective of the falls, from the Devil’s Cataract to the Main Falls and beyond. Be sure to have your camera ready to capture the permanent rainbows that dance in the spray, creating an unforgettable spectacle of sight and sound.

Village Tour Experience

This afternoon from your lodge you are driven through Chinotimba, the largest and oldest township in Victoria Falls to get a glimpse of urban township life. From there it’s about 15 km out of town to the rural Monde Village, where you get to meet the local inhabitants, go through introductions and talk about their culture, customs, history and daily lives. You will be shown how their homestead is set up, the animals that they keep, what sort of equipment and utensils they use, the way their rooms are set up, the kind of food they eat, and so much more.

The Boma Dinner and Drum show

Enjoy an unforgettable African experience infused with Zimbabwean cuisine at The Boma that offers a four-course meal combining a mouth-watering choice of starters from the kitchen, soup from the campfire and a substantial barbecue buffet served on cast iron plates. A feast of nightly entertainment incorporates Amakwezi traditional dancers, singers, a local story teller and a traditional healer; later guests are invited to join in the drumming extravaganza.

Chobe National Park Day Trip

After your two nights stay in Victoria Falls which is Zimbabwe’s top travel destination, depart for the country of Botswana known as the wildlife paradise nation. After completing the border formalities you head for teas and coffees with muffins and some fruits; after a light breakfast it’s time for your first safari of the day which is a morning boat cruise along the Chobe River praised with huge herds of elephant, Hippos, crocodiles and an abundance of birdlife so thrilling to see and experience. The morning boat cruise ends at around 12.30pm with a tasty lunch on the banks of the Chobe River. After lunch it is time for an afternoon game drive in the Chobe National Park, where once again you have the opportunity to enjoy an abundance of wildlife as you explore the Chobe Riverfront by an open safari vehicle. It’s very rare for this not to be a truly unforgettable game viewing experience along with accompanying predators that have made this place their home. Sadly the day is now drawing to an end as you will be transferred to Chobe Safari Lodge(Cresta Mowana Hotel for luxury) where you will be spending two nights which offers charming hospitality, beautiful accommodation and breathtaking river views.

Early Morning Game Drive in Chobe National Park

Your early morning game drive in Chobe National Park will quickly become the favorite part of your safari day, with animals out and active. Experience Africa at the crack of dawn as Mother Nature yawns awake and shakes her feathers, tails and scales. You will be picked early morning in an open-air game drive vehicle as you will be driven through the lush Chobe National Park coming across a myriad of shy and elusive wildlife for almost three to four hours. The morning Chobe Safari sees herds of elephants, the gentle giants of this land, make their way to the Chobe River for the first drink of the day.

Afternoon Boat Ride over Chobe River

Tuck into a tasty lunch followed by a late afternoon boat ride along Chobe River as you watch the African sunset. The three hour Boat cruise within the Chobe National Park offers you an opportunity to witness the frequent hippos and crocodile as they love to bask in the sun next to the water and game viewing all the fauna and flora of the Chobe National Park. Magnificent views of the Chobe River also offers the abundant elephant herds and other wildlife whilst enjoying afternoon sundowners watching the African sunset across the Chobe river. You might even be fortunate enough to glimpse a lion or a leopard. Given that the Chobe National Park itself is home to over 460 different bird species, a cruise on the Chobe is also very popular for birding safaris. Conclude the evening with a dinner at your lodge for the last night in Chobe.

Your Zimbabwe and Botswana safari now comes to an end, but we are sure you will take home with you so many wonderful memories of the things you’ve seen especially having done the tour within these two countries. From your vibrant, fresh breakfast with a freshly brewed pot of hot coffee before we will transfer you back to Zimbabwe to catch your last flight from Victoria Falls International Airport.
