DAY_1. Johannesburg – Vic Falls (Vic Falls, Chobe, and Okavango Delta)
We start this 7-day Vic Falls, Chobe, and Okavango Delta Safari with the famous Vic Falls. After a relatively short flight from Johannesburg’s O R Tambo International Airport, you are welcomed at the Vic Falls Airport and transferred to your hotel. The rest of the afternoon is at leisure to explore the area.
Early evening, transfer to the Boma Place of Eating… This is not just another ethnic restaurant but a unique cultural experience. You will be greeted in local languages and invited to take part in a hand washing ceremony. Afterwards, a sampling of traditional beer and snacks before dinner is served. Excellent cuisine, including a variety of game meats and traditional Zimbabwean dishes are on offer. The meal is accompanied by entertainment from traditional dancers, the storyteller and a local witch-doctor for some fortune-telling. After dinner, the Sangoma tells tales of the country’s folklore, culture and heritage. The highlight of the evening is the interactive drumming and dancing, so come prepared to participate. Overnight at the A’Zambezi River Lodge.
DAY_2. Vic Falls
The Vic Falls is in its 150 millionths fantastic year, truly awe-inspiring experience – the sight, the sound, the smell, the humbling feeling that this may indeed be nature’s supreme masterpiece.

On this guided tour, you will be accompanied through the rain forest by a qualified guide who will give a brief history of the area and detail the flora, fauna, bird and wildlife and other points of interest. We return to the hotel later, or you can do your own exploring.
