Suggested Holiday Itinerary
Summary Of The Route and Costs
If you are wanting a premium getaway break where it is all about 'location location location',, look no further than this package. Staying at an original Colonial hotel now combining traditional majesty with modern sophistication on the Zimbabwe side of the Falls, you then head to a 5* lodge at Chobe, where a dedicated team will welcome you through the doors and be there with a smile to ensure that every moment of your stay here is a special one.
Established in 1904, making this one of the oldest hotels in Africa, the Victoria Falls Hotel is set in the Victoria Falls National Park and is a member of The Leading Hotels Of The World. Serene lily ponds, arched loggias and broad verandas - offering magnificent vistas - seem custom-built for a spot of high tea or a relaxed gin and tonic. The hotel serves is a reminder of the distinguished and elegant era to which it was born and has today truly earned its status as the landmark accommodation facility from which to view the wondrous Victoria Falls.
You then cross the border into Botswana and head to the only lodge in the Chobe National Park - the Chobe Game Lodge. Elephants feature largely on any activity at Chobe Game Lodge, as the largest population left in Africa occupies this northern corner between Botswana, Zambia, Namibia and Zimbabwe. Game drives in open-sided 4x4 vehicles bring these grey giants into easy reach as they drink and frolic at the water's edge in their boisterous herds.
Thrilling game drives led by qualified professional guides bring you close to hippos, buffalos, puku and other animals that gather on the banks of the Chobe River. The puku, a small rusty-brown antelope, alongside impala, kudu and red lechwe, are only a few of the common antelope found here. Naturally, lion and leopard are also found in the area.
Sundowner cruises are also a great way of seeing buffalo up close as they come out of the shade to graze in the cooler evenings and elephants as they wade in the river.
