3 Days Victoria Falls tour Zimbabwe and Zambia

Upon arrival at Victoria Falls Airport in Zimbabwe, you’ll be welcomed by your tour guide who will assist with your transfer to your accommodation in the charming town of Victoria Falls. The drive itself offers glimpses of the surrounding savannah landscape and wildlife, setting the tone for your safari experience. After checking into your hotel or lodge, you'll have some time to relax and soak in the serene atmosphere of this picturesque town. As evening approaches, you'll embark on a sunset boat cruise along the Zambezi River. This tranquil experience is one of the highlights of any Zimbabwe safari tour. As you glide along the river’s calm waters, you'll have the chance to spot wildlife such as elephants, hippos, crocodiles, and various bird species that gather along the riverbanks.

The boat cruise is not only about wildlife; it’s also an opportunity to witness one of Africa’s most spectacular sunsets. As the sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink, you'll be treated to refreshments and snacks onboard. The gentle sound of the river combined with the breathtaking scenery creates a magical ambiance that perfectly concludes your first day.

Today after breakfast start your day with a guided tour of Victoria Falls on the Zimbabwean side. Accompanied by an experienced guide, you'll explore the network of trails that lead to various viewpoints around the falls. These trails wind through lush rainforest nourished by the constant mist from the falls, creating a unique microclimate teeming with flora and fauna.

Your guide will share fascinating insights about the history, geology, and cultural significance of Victoria Falls. You'll visit iconic viewpoints such as Devil's Cataract, Main Falls, and Rainbow Falls each offering stunning perspectives of this natural wonder. Be prepared to get wet from the spray, especially during high-water season, so wearing a raincoat or waterproof gear is recommended.

After your guided tour, you'll have free time to choose from a range of optional activities tailored to your interests. For adrenaline seekers, there's bungee jumping off Victoria Falls Bridge or white-water rafting on the Zambezi River’s challenging rapids. If you prefer something more relaxed, consider visiting a local craft market or enjoying high tea at the historic Victoria Falls Hotel.

In the evening, you can opt for a traditional African dinner experience featuring local cuisine and cultural performances. This is an excellent way to immerse yourself in Zimbabwean culture while savoring delicious dishes prepared with fresh ingredients.

On your final day, you'll bid farewell to Zimbabwe and take a short flight or cross overland into Zambia. After clearing border formalities, you'll head to Livingstone, named after the famous explorer David Livingstone who was the first European to set eyes on Victoria Falls.

The Zambian side offers a different yet equally mesmerizing perspective of Victoria Falls. One of the highlights here is walking across the Knife-Edge Bridge—a narrow pathway that brings you incredibly close to the cascading water. During high-water season, this experience is exhilarating as you feel the spray and hear the deafening roar of the falls.

You can opt to visit Devil's Pool—a natural infinity pool perched on the edge of the falls. Swimming in this pool is not for the faint-hearted but offers unparalleled views and an adrenaline rush like no other.

After exploring Victoria Falls on the Zambian side, you'll have some time for last-minute shopping or sightseeing in Livingstone before heading to Harry Mwanga Nkumbula International Airport for your departure. As your journey concludes, you'll leave with unforgettable memories of one of Africa's most awe-inspiring destinations.
