Victoria Falls
Victoria Falls
A 2-night stay in Victoria Falls offers enough time to experience the main attraction, explore the town, and enjoy a sunset cruise. We include accommodation, a guided tour of the falls, and airport transfers, with options for Zambezi cruises and adventure activities like helicopter flights above the falls.
Check into your hotel or lodge and take an afternoon sunset cruise on the Zambezi River. You’ll see hippos and crocodiles while enjoying drinks and snacks as the sun sets over the river. Spend a full morning on a guided tour of the Victoria Falls on the Zimbabwean side on your next day. Go for a helicopter tour above the falls for an essential aerial perspective of the falls. At midday, if you are an adrenaline seeker, this is where you can try the gorge swing or the zipline.

Mababe
Mababe
A 2-night mobile safari in the Mababe Private Reserve offers an exclusive, untamed experience between Moremi and Chobe National Park. This region is famous for its massive herds of buffalo and elephants, which in turn support healthy predator populations, including lions and leopards. Unlike national parks, the Mababe private concession offers night game drives to spot nocturnal animals such as servals and African wildcats, as well as guided bush walks for a more intimate look at the flora and fauna. Your stay typically includes morning and afternoon game drives through a mix of savannah, riverine channels, and acacia woodlands.

Kaziikini
Kaziikini
Kaziikini serves as a strategic gateway to the Moremi Game Reserve, about 26 km from Moremi's South gate and a natural wildlife corridor between Maun and the reserve. Because there are no fences separating it from the reserve, animals move freely throughout the area, making it a prime location for sightings of Africa's most iconic species. Magical nightly visits from hyenas, elephants, and honey badgers, which are best experienced over multiple nights. We take much of the time on guided game drives and nature walks that allow for a closer look at tracks, insects, and birdlife. A mokoro dugout canoe experience is available here - a traditional canoe trip to explore part of the Okavango Delta, view semi-aquatic wildlife like hippos and crocodiles, and enjoy excellent birdwatching.
