Guests learn about elephant behaviour, conservation challenges, and the important work being done to protect these remarkable animals. Consequently, this ethical encounter creates one of the most memorable highlights of any stay.

Guided Tour of Victoria Falls

A guided visit to Victoria Falls allows guests to experience one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. Walking through the rainforest and visiting the famous viewpoints reveals the immense power and beauty of the “Smoke That Thunders.” Furthermore, knowledgeable guides share fascinating insights into the history and geology of the Falls.

Game Drives in Zambezi National Park

Morning and afternoon game drives explore nearby Zambezi National Park, home to elephant, buffalo, lion, giraffe, zebra, antelope, and abundant birdlife. Additionally, the park’s relatively low visitor numbers create an intimate safari experience close to Victoria Falls.

Sunset Cruise on the Zambezi River

A sunset cruise along the Zambezi River offers exceptional opportunities to encounter hippos, crocodiles, elephants, and a remarkable variety of birdlife while enjoying spectacular African sunsets. Consequently, this relaxed excursion is one of Victoria Falls’ most popular experiences.

Visit the Victoria Falls Wildlife Trust

Guests can enjoy a behind-the-scenes visit to the Victoria Falls Wildlife Trust, learning about wildlife rehabilitation, veterinary care, and conservation initiatives that protect Zimbabwe’s unique biodiversity. As a result, visitors gain a deeper appreciation of the important work taking place behind the scenes

Birdwatching

The surrounding concession and nearby Zambezi National Park support an impressive variety of birdlife throughout the year. African fish eagles, kingfishers, hornbills, bee-eaters, rollers, raptors, and many migratory species make the area particularly rewarding for birdwatchers and photographers alike.
