From Victoria Falls airport you are transferred to your guest house and in the late afternoon we enjoy our first night on a sunset cruise on the upper reaches of the Zambezi River. Sundowner in hand, look out for wildlife on the river banks and witness your first dramatic African sunset – a fabulous introduction to the Zambezi.

Victoria Falls, Zambezi Rafting or Canoeing
There are two options of activities today. The first is to immerse yourself in the foamy rapids of the Batoka Gorge on a thrilling white water rafting trip. Experiencing grade 4 - 5 rapids with names like ‘Oblivion’ or ‘Devil’s Toilet Bowl’ you experience some of the best white water in the world! Alternatively enjoy the quieter waters of the Upper Zambezi, on a canoe safari spotting wildlife both in the water and on the river banks.

We cross into neighbouring Botswana and enjoy a day in and around Chobe National Park, famous for its diverse concentration of wildlife including elephant, hippo, crocodile and lion.
