Day 1-2

Livingstone

Livingstone

The group will meet in Livingstone, in Zambia at 2:00 am. You'll have two days to explore Victoria Falls, a Natural Wonder of the World plunging into the Zambezi Gorge. Adventure activities abound: white water rafting on the mighty Zambezi, or a 111m bungee jump (at your own expense).

Pre-tour accommodation and airport transfers can be arranged. Alternatively, you can make your way to the departure at Victoria Falls Waterfront, Zambia. Participation is an essential part of your safari. From putting up your tent to packing the truck in the morning—it’s all part of the adventure. Your tour leaders will do all the meal preparation but we do ask the clients to help (on rotation) with the washing up. There are some long travel days which means early mornings. Therefore, we all need to get involved to make the day run efficiently.
