4 Night Victoria Falls & Chobe Safari : More Affordable Option

Day 1
Today you board your flight at OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg for the Victoria Falls Airport, Zimbabwe. On arrival at Vic Falls, you will be met and transferred to the Kingdom Hotel, where you will spend the next (2) nights on a bed & breakfast basis.

The closest hotel to the Victoria Falls. The distinctive Zimbabwean design is based on the Great Zimbabwe monument in Masvingo. The Kingdom’s total room complement is 300 in separate two and three storey units. An attractive water feature in the form of a man made lake gives the hotel bedrooms the impression of having been built on the edge of the lake. (Each room has the following facilities: Satellite TV, tea/coffee making facilities, air conditioning, overhead fans, 24 hour room service and laundry facilities). The lake is stocked with fish and a variety of bird life. The hotel is a self-enclosed resort, with the main features being a gaming room featuring interactive video games, crèche and children’s play area.

Day 2
After breakfast depart on a guided tour of the falls and traditional village. Here you will view the spectacular Devil's Cataract, Main Falls as well as the Horseshoe Falls. At the village you will have the opportunity to purchase some of Zimbabwe's arts and crafts. In the afternoon you will be collected for a sunset cruise on the Zambezi River including drinks (beer and wine) and light snacks.

Day 3
This morning you will be collected from the hotel and transferred to the Northern border of Botswana to clear customs. You will then continue to the Chobe Safari Lodge, where you spend the next (2) nights on a dinner, bed and breakfast basis. Included in your stay are one guided morning game drive, one afternoon boat cruise and 1 day permit for the Chobe National Park. (Activities to be done on the same day!) On Botswana's far northern borders lies the Kwando, Linyanti and Chobe river system which forms a series of lakes, islands and floodplains and is home to some of the last great wildlife herds of Africa. The Chobe National Park, famous for its large elephant and buffalo herds, lies on the banks of the Chobe River, just above its confluence with the Zambezi. From the village of Kasane, the Park extends some 11,700sq km towards the south and west. Vegetation ranges from the dense riverine and grass floodplains of the north to the teak forests and mopane woodlands (with scattered pans and water holes) towards the "Mababe Depression" and "Savuti" channel in the south. In addition to the "BIG GAME" and a variety of predators, there are eighteen species of antelope in the Park, including some rare animals such as puku, lechwe and the shy Chobe bushbuck. Hippo, crocodile and an abundance of game and birdlife decorate the waterways of this river system, and game viewing by river boat is a "Game Drive with a Difference". Daily guided game drives are available into the park from Chobe Safari Lodge, and transfers can also be arranged to luxury tented camps in Photo Africa's private wildlife concession areas. The Lodge caters for a variety of accommodation needs. Family units and standard type bedrooms are situated in the main hotel section, while along the river bank there are 22 thatched rondawels and a grassed camping site. Facilities include a conference room, curio shop, fuel station, liquor store, swimming pool, restaurant, bar and beautiful sunsets. Chobe Safari Lodge, the oldest in the area, sports the local pub, a rendezvous for some colorful characters including some of the best known big-game hunters, safari guides and bush pilots in Africa.
