Johannesburg - Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe
After an early breakfast, you will leave Johannesburg International Airport on your flight to Victoria Falls, one of the world’s most fascinating and breathtaking sights. Attend the evening performance of the tribal dance African Spectacular.
Victoria Falls
Like explorer David Livingstone, we presume you will marvel at Victoria Falls, which he named for the British monarch. The local Makololo tribe called the Falls Mosi-oa-Tunya, meaning “The Smoke that Thunders.” Vic Falls is the site of a huge cataract where the mighty Zambezi River plunges 5,500 feet down to the gorge below. The rising, cascading mist creates an almost permanent daily rainbow. Victoria Falls is twice as wide and twice as deep as Niagara Falls. Today, visit a nearby village and school. This is a great opportunity for your kids to meet children from the area. Then visit a nature sanctuary and crocodile farm. Optional elephant rides are available.
Victoria Falls – Botswana Safari Camps
The optional “Flight of the Angels” over Victoria Falls is a great family treat, a spectacular aerial sightseeing excursion. After breakfast, leave for the flight to Maun, Botswana. At Maun Airport, a Shades of Africa representative will meet and escort you to a quick flight to Sandibe Safari Lodge. Enjoy an all-inclusive safari with family activities, where you travel in our open-top vehicles and boats, observing animals in their natural habitat. The area is rife with buffalo, lion, elephant, red lechwe, hippo and both roan and sable antelope.
Savute Elephant Camp, Chobe National Park
After breakfast, fly to Savute Elephant Camp, in the heart of Chobe National Park. Savute is an all-inclusive, luxury permanent-tented camp. The camp’s air-conditioned suites feature comfortable four-poster beds and modern, en-suite bathrooms. Chobe is known for its large concentrations of elephant and lion. Other animals include giraffe, leopard, cheetah, zebra, kudu, hyena and wildebeest. Chobe is also a haven for birdlife (best in the summer), as well as very rare rock paintings drawn by the early San Bushmen.
Khwai River Lodge
After breakfast, take a transfer flight to Khwai River Lodge, your all-inclusive, family-friendly safari lodge. Morning and afternoon game drives are scheduled. A night excursion with spotlights may be arranged for seeing nocturnal animals. Meet local villagers during an optional visit, or join a guided safari/nature walk along the Khwai River conducted by a local guide. At camp, a viewing blind allows you to closely observe animals on the floodplain. Or just relax at the lodge, which is equipped with a swimming pool, gym and spa.
Maun – Johannesburg - USA
Take a transfer flight to Maun Airport, then return to Johannesburg for international flights.
