The experience

Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park sits on the Zambian side of the Zambezi River, and the tour starts with a morning or afternoon game drive lasting roughly three hours. You travel by vehicle through the park with a guide who knows where the animals move and what you're looking at: white rhinos, elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, waterbucks, impalas and zebras are common sightings, along with birdlife and the river itself marking the border with Zimbabwe. The guide also points out historical sites connected to Livingstone's early settlement and the explorer himself.

The drive ends at a picnic site on the Zambezi's banks, where you get snacks and refreshments before heading back. After that, the tour shifts to the Rhino Sanctuary for a walking safari on foot: a chance to get closer to the rhinos in a different way than the vehicle allows. The whole experience wraps up with return transfer to your hotel.
