Our First-Hand Experience

Victoria Falls is always one of our favorite spots.  On this particular trip, we combined a long visit to Botswana and the Okavango Delta.  Our time in the Delta was magnificent!  One morning, our guide took us on a Mokoro (dug out canoe) ride where we saw amazing flora and fauna as well as tiny reed frogs in a variety of vibrant colors.  The same frogs that serenaded us in the evenings acting as our sound machine at night…lovely!

Outside our over the top luxury tents at night we could hear hippos calling and sometimes even rubbing up against our tent.  Elephants would come through camp in the night and step on the wooden decking and by the time we went to breakfast the next morning, the staff would have already repaired the decking.  One morning we woke to a “swish swish” sound outside our tent.  As we opened the curtains, there before us was a giant bull elephant walking right in front of our deck walking in the water.

 

Victoria Falls to Okavango Delta

One of the Seven Wonders of the World, Victoria Falls is breathtakingly beautiful! To stand opposite the falls and feel the enormous power and the spray that shoots hundreds of feet into the air is a sight to behold. The best part of all is that the falls are not the only experience to enjoy.  Numerous unique activities abound in the area.

Your group will be privately guided as we will have you met as soon as you clear customs in the tiny airport of Victoria Falls.  Your guide will escort you throughout your stay and ensure that your every need is catered to.Victoria Falls to Okavango Delta

We offer memorable adventures such as with elephant rides, scenic helicopter tours of the falls, fishing for tiger fish on the Zambezi River, guided shopping at the local markets, sunset cruises, lion walks and on and on.  The adventure is all around you in Victoria Falls…you could walk out your hotel to find elephants in the driveway! Mosi-Oa-Tunya – the smoke that thunders – over a mile wide as it plunges nearly 400 ft into the Zambezi gorge below.

When David Livingstone saw the Falls for the first time in 1855 he wrote “Scenes so lovely must have been gazed upon by angels in their flight” and today you can take the “Flight of Angels” a helicopter or light aircraft flight over the Falls which gives you the ultimate view of this magnificent wonder. Continue your travels by light aircraft as you explore the various amazing lodges in the Okavango Delta!  Explore the Okavango Delta, Moremi Game Reserve and Linyanti all via inter-camp transfers by air or road.  Elephants, hippos, various cats and more roam these amazing deltas. We would like to credit some of the photos in the photo area of this destination to Wilderness Safaris who is one of our partners in building custom private itineraries.
