4 Days Zimbabwe and Botswana Tour to Victoria Falls and Chobe
This 4 Days Zimbabwe and Botswana Tour to Victoria Falls and Chobe allows you to witness the Great Victoria Falls on a guided tour. Cruise the Mighty Zambezi River at sunset where leopards are occasionally seen on the river banks. Go safari the iconic Chobe National Park, Botswana with your ranger. Later depart on a sunset safari river cruise. Both experiences teem with wildlife. Optional activities are available to you at our preferential rates, like the heli flip over the falls. Time permitting, I highly recommend touring Cape Town, then join us on private Kruger safaris.
The Zimbabwe and Botswana Tour provides an immersive experience where you'll witness the mighty Zambezi River as it plunges into the massive Victoria Falls gorge, known locally as "Mosi-oa-Tunya" - the smoke that thunders. Across the border, just a short 80-kilometer journey from Victoria Falls, Chobe National Park awaits its renowned elephant herds and diverse wildlife that roam freely along the life-giving Chobe River.
Throughout your Zimbabwe and Botswana Tour, experienced guides share their in-depth knowledge of the region's ecology, history, and culture. From sunset river cruises to guided safari drives, each activity is designed to showcase the natural splendour of these two countries while providing comfortable accommodations, authentic cuisine, and memories to last a lifetime.
