Victoria Falls Vacations

A great start or end to a Zimbabwe holiday

For the perfect tailor-made Victoria Falls holiday combine the town and the falls with a trip upstream into the Zambezi National Park for a taste of safari life.

Sandwiched between Zimbabwe to the South and Zambia to the North, the spectacular Victoria Falls are one of Zimbabwe’s most iconic areas and a superb start or end point to any trip to the country. At 108 metres high and 1708 metres wide, these are amongst the most impressive waterfalls in the world, especially when the flow is at its peak, usually between February and July each year. However, even when the water levels drop to barely a trickle towards the end of the year, there is still plenty to do here on a luxury Victoria Falls holiday, including white water rafting, bungee jumping and walks deep in the gorges.

Despite the Falls being the main attraction, this is not the only reason to visit the area. Victoria Falls town itself is a wonderfully vibrant place to visit, with superb restaurants, craft breweries and an increasingly important arts scene, mirroring what is taking place across Africa. Further upstream the Zambezi National Park is small but really packs a punch when it comes to game viewing – ideal for visitors wanting to get a taste of safari before continuing their adventures in other national parks, or in combination with The Falls for those pushed for time.

The diversity that a tailor-made Victoria Falls holiday has to offer is echoed in the range of accommodation in the area. In town there is a great choice of lodges, large hotels and guesthouse style properties, whilst downstream there are some stunning lodges perched on the cliffs staring down into the gorges below. Up in the Zambezi National Park there is a mixture of traditional safari lodge style properties, ideal for those looking to get a feel of being in the bush and also to escape the hustle and bustle of town.

The Falls themselves are a huge attraction and draw many people to Zimbabwe in their own right. They can also be used as a jumping-off point for wider trips through Zimbabwe or simply for those looking to spend a few days here in combination with trips through South Africa or Botswana. Access is very easy thanks to the newly built airport terminal building and air access is improving month by month. No matter what time of year you choose to visit, a few days at The Falls is a great way to spend part of your trip to Africa and we can recommend the perfect place for you to stay and enjoy everything that you want to get out of your visit.

I have just returned from the most amazing trip to Tanzania, booked with Far & Wild. Everything went so smoothly from the first time I spoke with them. The planning was great, the itinerary was perfect for us, and the lodges were amazing. We spent 10 nights with an amazing guide, travelling through Northern Tanzania and even got to see the migration, which was a lifetime ambition of mine. This wasn't our first safari, so we were nervous as to how it would compare, but it was spot on. We're particularly grateful that she suggested a private 'bush lunch' in the Ngorongoro Crater as the public picnic spot was very busy! I will certainly be using them again to book our next trip....we're thinking of a relaxing beach stay next time to get over the excitement of safari!

Just back from another amazing F&W organised trip to Namibia with the family (8 adults). Having been there before, Alistair tailored our trip to include our favourite locations and added a new one for us, Okonjima Plains camp, which we loved.The quality of accommodation and guiding, activities, food and drinks was exceptional throughout. Although not inexpensive I felt it was good value for the level of luxury we had. Kwessi Dunes, Shipwreck lodge, Ongava, Okonjima with pit stops Windhoek (city tour recommended ), Swakopmund (Sandwich Harbour and Walvis Bay tour) and Grootberg lodge (best sundowner drive )

We had a wonderful trip to São Tomé and Príncipe - a small island nation in the Gulf of Guinea with paradise (almost empty) beaches and jungle forest. It was all well organised by Far and Wild and we stayed at Omali lodge at Sao Tome, then on Roca Sundy, and Sunday Praia at Principe - a great combination of different types of resorts/hotels. Omali is close to Sao Tome town with its colonial buildings, markets, hustle and bustle. Roca Sunday gives an old plantation experience and Sundy Praia a luxury beach experience. Very friendly (from time to time a bit slow) service, great fresh food, specifically if you like fish/seafood, vegetables and fruits (almost all sourced locally). Nice temperature between 23 and 30 degrees Celsius, nice swimming conditions. We really recommend this for those who want to experience a pristine destination with few other tourists and friendly and welcoming people. The islands also feel (and I believe are) very safe. At Principe, there are no dangerous animals, snakes or whatever, and it was great to be able to hike in the jungle without being very conscious of where to put your hands and feet. Go before everyone else does!

Back home again, basking in the joys of a superb safari. Every aspect you arranged for us, including linking up with Mack Air and Wild Horizons locally to transport us. The choice of camps, Camp Hwange in Zimbabwe and Muchenenje Safari Lodge in Botswana, was spot on and exactly what we had hoped for - ideally situated, comfortable, in good surroundings, and with excellent wildlife on the doorstep and throughout the wider country. The service staff in each looked after us very well, catering was excellent, and the game guides were professional, knowledgeable and helpful. The weather was, as usual for that part of the world, also good at the time of our visit. Blue skies and stunning sunsets. Warm but not too hot during the day, although quite cold at sunrise when viewing game. The viewing started. You made us happy, and we recommend you to similar safari enthusiasts with confidence.

Far and Wild went above and beyond to make sure my trip to Zambia was special. I would definitely recommend them and their services to anyone wanting to travel to Africa.

Lovely holiday at the amazing Almanara on Galu beach, a beach like no other. Far and Wild excelled themselves from beginning to end of our holiday in beautiful Kenya.... What a country!,

Wow! These guys are amazing. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Friendly AND efficient! Sorted out our trip (last minute and lots of different family member needs, sorry!) in record time and everything worked like clockwork. Trip of a lifetime to the Masai Mara. Will be back (and use F&W again!)!

It was a dreamy holiday on the Kenyan Coast - Far and Wild, their efficiency and professionalism allowed us to relax and be the happiest family alive !! We cannot fault them, their care and understanding of what we wanted from a holiday ensured we had the most memorable trip. We will be booking with them again for sure!
