Victoria Falls Getaway
Three Days at the Smoke That Thunders
Overview
Three days to experience one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World in comfort and style — a guided tour of Victoria Falls, a sunset cruise on the Zambezi, and a stay at a gracious riverfront lodge. It's the perfect short escape or the ideal add-on to a Southern African safari.
Even in a short visit you'll feel the thunder of the Falls, walk the rainforest trail amid the spray, and toast the African sunset from the deck of a cruise boat. With private guiding and every detail handled, it's a wonderfully easy taste of the mighty Zambezi.
Who It's For
Ideal for travellers with limited time — a short break, a stopover, or a Falls finale to a safari — who still want quality lodging and private guiding.
