Customizable Itinerary
Day 1
Victoria Falls - Welcome to Zimbabwe
On arrival at Victoria Falls Airport, you will be met by a guide and transferred to your beautiful lodge. The only lodge set within the Zambezi National Park, this elegant and stylish property sits on the bank of the mighty Zambezi River, close enough to Victoria Falls to see the spray rising into the air.
Settle into your expansive suite with its tremendous view, which is an ideal place to relax and watch the world go by. You can sit and observe hippos jostling in the water, listening to the gurgling of the river as it slips quickly by, headed for the falls. A late afternoon boat cruise is the ideal way to explore the river, look for wildlife coming to the water to drink and admire the scenery in the beautiful light of sunset, which paints the sky in a kaleidoscope of colors. You return to the lodge in the early evening for a wonderful meal served by candlelight with the gentle sounds of the river drifting by.

Our first trip to southern Africa was amazing, exceeding all expectations. We saw everything we came to see, and more. The game rides were well structured and safe, the visuals were unbelievable, and taking a side trip to Victoria Falls was a great idea. The accommodations were quite luxurious, despite being considered mid-range. There was always someone there to greet us and guide us at every travel point.
Zicasso's tour operator tailored our itinerary to our wishes and was wonderful to work with. Things couldn’t have gone better.
