Victoria Falls and Zambezi National Park wildlife safari one day

See Victoria Falls and hunt for African wildlife in the same afternoon

A full-day guided tour of Victoria Falls and Zambezi National Park combines two of Zimbabwe's premier sites in a single itinerary. Your guide meets you at pickup, walks you through the Falls with its history and ecology, then takes you to Dusty Road Township for lunch at a local restaurant before heading into the park for a safari where you watch elephants, giraffes, buffalos and hippos at close range.

Visit Victoria Falls and Zambezi Park

• Meet guide at pick up point
• Tour Victoria Falls and learn history
• Lunch at Dusty Road Township Restaurant
• Safari in Zambezi National Park

The experience

The tour starts at your pickup point and moves straight to Victoria Falls, where your guide gives you the history of the site and points out the flora, fauna and landmarks most visitors miss. After the Falls, you drive through Dusty Road Township to Dusty Road Experience restaurant, a local spot in the heart of the township where the food and decor show you a different side of Victoria Falls than the main tourist corridor.

After lunch you head into Zambezi National Park for a safari. This is where the day shifts from sightseeing to wildlife watching: you stay in the vehicle and move slowly through the park looking for elephants, buffalos, zebras, giraffes and hippos. The park is emerging as one of Zimbabwe's best wildlife viewing areas, and your guide knows where the animals tend to gather and how to approach without spooking them. Bottled water comes with you for the drive.
