Our specialist says:

This is the perfect trip to start of married life, combining time at the iconic Victoria Falls with a two-centre safari offering a blend of Botswana’s finest land and water based activities.

Botswana safaris combine so well with time at Victoria Falls, which is accessed via Kasane in the north-east of Botswana. This means you can enjoy a huge variety of experiences in a relatively short trip to this diverse and beautiful part of Africa.

Start off by flying to Victoria Falls on the Zimbabwean side of the mighty Zambezi River where you will have a few nights in a lovely boutique hotel in a secluded part of the town. Explore The Falls, take boat cruises along the river, try your hand at fishing and canoeing as well as taking the chance to fly over The Falls in a microlight or helicopter. This is also a great spot to relax by the pool and soak up the sunshine, as well as to explore Victoria Falls town to experience its unique ambience. From Vic Falls you will be transferred in to Botswana for a flight from Kasane down to the Moremi Game Reserve for your land-based game viewing time. From your camp explore the wildlife-rich plains of Moremi and enjoy the company of hugely experienced guides who will ensure your time here is captivating beyond words. The final leg of your trip will be spent in the legendary Okavango Delta in one of the area’s renowned wet camps. Here you can enjoy boat and canoe safaris as well as guided nature walks. This offers a wonderful contrast to the time spent exploring by vehicle in Moremi and is a great way to round off your trip.

A truly iconic combination, including some of the best parts of Botswana, not to mention Victoria Falls, this trip is ideal as a Honeymoon, but works equally well for all visitors to the area, including families who love the variety that the areas offer.


Trip Itinerary

Day 1 Some time to relax at The Falls

Staying at Ilala Lodge

Arrive in to Johannesburg this morning and connect on to Victoria Falls, arriving in the early afternoon. From the airport a transfer will take you to Ilala Lodge, a beautiful boutique hotel in a quiet part of the town where you are staying for 3 nights. Spend this afternoon relaxing by the pool and enjoying the lovely surroundings of the hotel – you can also take a stroll down to The Falls should you wish and take a look at them from the many viewpoints that are accessed via the walking trails.

Day 2 Time to explore

Victoria Falls is renowned as the adventure capital of Africa and there is so much to see and do whilst you are there. Visits to The Falls are of course a must-do, as are cruises on the Zambezi River, with Ilala Lodge offering their own private boat for sunset cruises which are immensely popular. Helicopter and microlight flights are on offer for the more adventurous guests, as are bungee jumps, gorge swings and, when appropriate, the chance to swim in the Devil’s Pool on the very edge of the precipice.

May

With the rainy season at an end, the temperature falls, making bush excursions more pleasant. Nights can be a little chilly, so you'll probably need an extra layer if you're heading out on an evening game drive. Skies become clearer and there are fewer mosquitoes. This is one of our favourite months to travel and also marks the final month before the peak season rates kick in in most camps.
