Combine two unique and moving African experiences on this short but jam-packed adventure through Zambia and Botswana. See one of the world's most spectacular natural wonders, the impressive Victoria Falls - though it's so massive you'll hear and feel it too. Then move on to the excitement of an African safari in Chobe National Park, where herds of elephants share their riverside playground with hippos, water birds and antelopes. All the while, stay in safari lodges where you can relive each day's events in comfort and style.

This trip commences when you check in to your Livingstone hotel. Please make sure this is before 3.00pm to allow adequate time to visit Victoria Falls
The adrenaline capital, Livingstone is the perfect place to kick off the adventure. Head to the mighty Victoria Falls and admire the columns of spray from this curtain of falling water. Locally it is known as Mosi ao Tunya, the Smoke that Thunders, and it is easy to hear why. Knife Edge Bridge and the forests immediately opposite the falls on the Zambian side offer unparalleled views. There are plenty of optional activities on offer at Victoria Falls; take the opportunity to get close to the falls with a helicopter flight, or try some adrenaline sports like bungee jumping and canyoning.
Travel by car and by ferry to reach the Chobe National Park. Nestled in the northern corner of Botswana amid lush forest, Chobe covers a huge area of 12,000 sq km and is home to some of the largest elephant populations in Africa as well as lions and a flurry of bird life, including the famous African fish eagle. Cruise the Chobe River in the late afternoon to try to glimpse hippos ambling along the banks. Go on game drives and optional guided walks and perhaps spot a rare puku antelope.
Transfer back to Livingstone, named after the famous explorer, and the first Westerner to see the awe-inspiring falls. Take the opportunity to visit the Livingstone Museum to learn more about this dauntless Scottish explorer who was lost for six years before searchers finally greeted him with, "Dr Livingstone, I presume?" If you're still in need of some adrenaline inspired action, be sure to head back to Victoria Falls for more adventure sports.
