The experience

Day one starts with a 2-hour game drive and white rhino walking safari in Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, where you track wildlife on foot in their natural habitat. After lunch, a guided tour takes you through the rainforest along the designated path to 16 viewpoints at Victoria Falls itself. Your guide covers the history and geology of the falls while raincoats protect you from the spray. The afternoon ends at the Livingstone Museum, where you'll learn about Dr. David Livingstone's expeditions and Zambia's cultural heritage.

Day two begins at Mukuni Village for a 2-hour immersion in traditional Zambian village life. You'll watch daily activities like cooking and crafting, interact with locals, and learn their customs. After lunch and a rest, you cross the border into Zimbabwe via the bridge to explore Victoria Falls from the Zimbabwean side on a guided tour. The driver returns you to your lodging as the day ends.

Day three is devoted entirely to Chobe National Park in Botswana. A 2-hour river safari on the Chobe River puts you face-to-face with hippos, crocodiles and bird species, followed by a 3-hour game drive where elephants, lions, giraffes and other wildlife roam freely. The combination of water and land vantage points gives you the park's full range of sightings.

Is this one for you?Small groups work well here because the border crossings and village visit move at a shared pace, and the game drives in Chobe give everyone equal sightlines. If you're traveling with children aged 5 and up, the mix of cultural stops, falls views and wildlife spotting holds their interest across the three days.

Top questions

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Child (5 to 11 years). Children under 5 can't be included in the booking.

What's the best time of year to see large herds of elephants in Chobe National Park?

Chobe National Park is known for its famously large herds of elephants year-round, but they concentrate near the river during the dry season (May to October) when water sources shrink, making sightings more frequent during game drives and river safaris.

Do I need a visa to cross between Zambia, Zimbabwe and Botswana on this tour?

You may need a KAZA visa depending on your country of citizenship. Check your passport requirements before booking. The tour includes border crossings via the bridge into Zimbabwe, so confirm your visa status with your embassy.

How much walking is involved in the Victoria Falls guided tour?

The Victoria Falls tour follows a designated path with 16 viewpoints along the edge of the falls, and you'll walk through rainforest on the Zambian side. The walk is moderate in pace and distance, though you'll be standing and moving for the full 2 hours of the tour.

What happens if I have dietary restrictions?

The tour accommodates vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and other dietary needs. Mention your requirements in the special requests field at checkout, and the operator will arrange meals at the restaurants visited on days one and two accordingly.

Is the white rhino walking safari on day one safe for someone without wildlife experience?

The 2-hour walking safari in Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park is guided, and your guide will lead you to spot white rhinos in their natural habitat. You should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness. The walk involves tracking on foot, so comfortable trekking shoes are recommended.
