VICTORIA FALLS EXPLORER
Overview
This trip is for African adventurers who want to extend their Okavango Delta and Deserts trip in the best way possible: taking a transfer to the majestic Victoria Falls. The world’s largest waterfall, the thunderous power of this natural miracle has to be seen to be believed. We’ll whizz you to the waterfall with included transfers and sort your comfy accommodation out, so you can focus on all the adventure activities available to you. We’ll also include a tour of the falls to end your adventure on a high, but please note that this is an unguided trip. It offers you the easiest chance to see the falls when on another one of our epic group tours in Africa.

Day 1: Start Victoria Falls
Victoria Falls:
- Excited much? Make your way to your accommodation in Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders and the largest waterfall in the world. You might want to pack your raincoat, as during certain times of the year you can get drenched from the rising spray, giving the falls its local name: ‘The smoke that thunders’. You’ll have the chance to jump, zipline or swing off the famous bridge connecting Zimbabwe and Zambia over the Zambezi River.
- Please note: From January to June this trip puts you in theVictoriaFalls Waterfront Hotel, Zambia, with a riverside deck and bar that overlooks the spray of the thunderousfalls. Travelling from July to December? Don’t worry, you’re not missing out: we’ll put you up in the Shearwater Explorers Village, Zimbabwe, just 400m from the falls – with bohemian cafes, curio markets and swimming pools to explore. It’s win win, basically.
