6 Nigh Victoria Falls, Chobe & Okavango Delta 4 Star



Day 01

Today you board your flight in Johannesburg for Vic Falls. On arrival at Victoria Falls, you will be met and transferred to the Kingdom Hotel for (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, creche and children’s play area.


Day 02

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 03

This morning you will be collected from the hotel and transferred to the Elephant Valley Lodge, where you spend the next (2) nights on a fully inclusive basis.

Elephant Valley is a luxury-tented lodge situated within the Lesoma Valley in the Kasane Forest Reserve, which borders Chobe National Park. The Lodge is set amongst massive Camel-thorn trees, (acacia erioloba) with the main dining and lounge area slightly raised overlooking a large waterhole. We are a 20 minute 4x4 drive from the Botswana/Zimbabwe border in one direction and a 20 minute 4x4 drive from Kasane town; Kasane airport; and the Chobe National Park official entrance gate in the other direction. The Chobe riverine area attracts plentiful game throughout the year due to the abundant and constant supply of water. The high elephant population can be staggering in the Chobe National Park, in addition there is a large variety of other wildlife that congregates on the banks of the Chobe River to play and quench their thirst. The main bar and dining complex overlooks a waterhole, which offers fantastic 24 hour game viewing. We also have a curio shop and salt-water swimming pool. Activities available are game drives and boat cruises into Chobe National Park, night drives and guided walks in the concession. Rates include-all game viewing activities (2 per day) plus night drive; transfers to/from Kasane area, Kasane Airport (BBK) and Botswana/Zimbabwe border and all meals.


Day 04

Day spent on safari at the Elephant Valley Lodge.


Day 05

Today you will be collected at the lodge and transferred to the Kasane Airport to meet your light aircraft transfer to the Xigera Camp in the Okavango Delta, where you spend the next (2) nights on a fully inclusive basis.

Xigera Camp (pronounced Keejera) is situated in the heart of the Okavango on Paradise Island, within the Moremi Game Reserve. Xigera is a superb, luxury tented camp, located in an area that is surrounded by permanent water. The new Xigera opened in May 2000 and consists of eight new luxuriously furnished walk-in tented rooms, with en-suite facilities, built within a shady forest. Each room is raised off the ground offering superb views of the floodplain to the east of camp and its attractive waterhole. Each guest’s room has a great view directly onto this floodplain. The dining and pub area is under thatch overlooking the river that flows past the front of camp. Activities focus mainly on mokoro rides through the quiet waterways, as well as short walking safaris. Many guests are lucky enough to get good views of the elusive Sitatunga antelope. Game drives are also offered if water levels are low enough, as are boat trips on the river, if water levels are high enough. Game drives are best here in our summer months. Birding in the area is excellent, with Pels Fishing Owl, Slaty Egret and Wattled Crane amongst the many species of birds regularly sighted. Xigera has exclusive rights to this area, providing a tranquil and private setting for its guests. It also has a unique feature: the footbridge in front of camp is the only way predators can cross from island to island without having to swim. A “long-jump pit” has been built with soft sand, which each animal is forced to walk over when they use the bridge. Every evening the sand is raked smooth. Each morning guests are able to read the “newspaper” and see what animals have walked through camp. Almost every night Lion, Hyena and Leopard stroll through camp!


Day 06

Today is spent on safari in the pristine Okavango Delta.


Day 07

This morning you will be transferred by light aircraft back to Kasane where you meet your road transfer directly back to the Victoria Falls Airport for your outbound flight, back to Johannesburg.
