Zimbabwe is a stunning destination for its raw beauty and world class safaris. A landlocked country in southern Africa known for its reserves and national parks, brimming with natural wonder. Here, guests can enjoy deluxe accommodation and exquisite cuisines. The spectacular landscape of this African land shares the Victoria Falls and Zambezi river with its neighbour, Zambia. Visitors can enjoy the "Smoke that Thunders" Victoria Falls 108m waterfall in Batoka Gorge. On the river, there's white-water rafting, great picnic spots and even bungee-jumping. At the national parks on the river, visitors can see the majestic hippos and rhinos. Not to be outdone, the variety of birdlife in Zimbabwe is unparalleled and a bird-watchers paradise. From the luxurious lodges and hotels, to well-constructed camp sites, visitors can enjoy an array of animal sighting, accommodation and fun-packed activities in these amazing national parks. For those who enjoy water related activities, Lake Kariba, the worlds largest man-made dam, offers a variety of activities from sunset cruises to water sports to fishing.

07:45 - Scheduled - Tour of the Falls
It's no surprise that Victoria Falls holds its place as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. This truth becomes immediately evident as guests explore the Zimbabwean side, where numerous spectacular vantage points span the width of the Falls, offering awe-inspiring views that truly take the breath away.
The tour meanders through a lush, permanently misty rainforest that hugs the edge of the Falls. Along the way, guests pause to marvel at iconic landmarks such as the Main Falls, Horseshoe Falls, Rainbow Falls, the Boiling Pot, Cataract Island, and Livingstone Island. With every step, the experience deepens-standing still to feel the mist, hear the thunderous roar, and witness millions of litres of water crashing into the deep, narrow gorges below.
Victoria Falls delivers a dramatic natural performance unlike any other, and those who visit are left with a profound sense of wonder and privilege at having witnessed one of Earth's greatest spectacles.
