By Plane Flight to Victoria Falls

By Vehicle Travel by road to Victoria Falls Hotel
2 nights Victoria Falls Hotel, Victoria Falls

Witness to its own fair share of history, the Victoria Falls Hotel was built in 1904 during the reign of England's King Edward VII, and reflects the opulent Edwardian style. Monarchs, Presidents, Hollywood stars and other VIPs have all strut the corridors of this ‘grand old lady of the falls'. The hotel was just recently renovated in a manner still echoing its glorious past.

The well-manicured tropical garden with its water lily pond and shady palms offers first-rate views of the Victoria Falls and the historical bridge connecting Zimbabwe and Zambia. The hotel comprises 94 rooms of varying price class, three restaurants, two tennis courts, a large swimming pool, library, bar, spa with hair salon and a souvenir shop.

Location
Victoria Falls Hotel is ideally situated in the town of Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, with the actual falls located just ten minutes walk away. For a modest fee, guests may visit the small park running alongside the falls on the Zambian side. The path leads along the top of the gorge and offers spectacular views of the water as it thunders over the edge.

The Zambezi River rises in north-western Zambia and crosses several African countries on its 2700 km journey to the Indian Ocean. The river also forms the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. At Victoria Falls, the water falls for more than 100m into Batoka Gorge, over a width of nearly two kilometers. The falls are called 'Mosi-oa-Tunya' or 'the Smoke that Thunders', as the spray can be seen from miles away and, at the height of the rainy season, more than five hundred million cubic meters of water per minute plummet over the edge.

Transport Mode Tour of the falls
The Victoria Falls are best visited early in the morning when the park is empty and quiet. The gate to the park opens at 6am. The entrance fee is US$ 50 per person and entitles to a one-time entry only.

On the Zimbabwe side you can photograph and admire the entire waterfall from various vantage points. You may also like to visit the historic bridge, which the English had built over Batoka Gorge when they tried to establish a railway line from Cape Town to Cairo.

Transport Mode Heli Flip 13min, Flight of Angels
A flight over the Victoria Falls opens up new perspectives! From the air, you can see how the masses of water zigzag through the Batoka Gorge below the falls. The helicopter flight takes about 13 minutes.

Transport Mode Ra-Ikane Sunset Cruise
Relive the historical journey taken by David Livingstone by exploring the mighty Zambezi River aboard the Ra-Ikane. Named after his guide, the boat is full of old world charm, setting a romantic and intimate scene whilst you sit back, relax and take in the surrounding views. With a maximum of 12-16 seats available, the Ra-Ikane offers a unique vantage point for viewing birdlife and wildlife up-close on the islands along the river. With a bit of luck you will see elephants coming to the river and hippos splashing in the water.

By Plane Flight to Lebala Camp
3 nights Lebala Camp, Okavango Linyanti

To reach Lebala Camp, visitors need to cross a small footbridge that leads over a water channel to the main building with lounge, bar, firepit and dining room.

Lebala Camp is comprised of nine custom designed tents, with unique mosquito net walls, allowing an unobstructed flow of cooling breezes and stunning views. Each spacious tent has its own viewing deck, bathroom and luxurious double outside showers.

The firepit at the main building is the daily meeting point in the morning where tea, coffee, muffins and porridge are served before the activities start.

The Kwando Camps are a bit rougher around the edges if compared to the slightly more expensive camps of some other operators in Botswana. However the Kwando Concession has a solid reputation for big game and focus is primarly on serious wildlife tracking.

Location
Kwando Lebala Camp is situated in the south of the private Kwando concession (2'300 km²) in northern Botswana, adjacent to the head waters of the Linyanti marshes that form the boundary between Botswana and Namibia and stretching down to the Selinda Concession.

Lagoon Camp is located in the same concession, about 30km further north of Lebala Camp.
