4 Day Chobe & Vic Falls Lodge Safari (BS-UAE)

Muli shani! Welcome to Zambia.

After checking in to your superior accommodation you will be greeted by our local representative and transfered to visit the magnificent Victoria Falls (Zambian side). The traditional name for Victoria Falls is Mosi-oa-Tunya, which translates as "the Smoke that Thunders". Its modern name is in honour of Queen Victoria, and was given to the falls in 1855 by David Livingstone. Although not the highest or the largest falls in the world, Victoria Falls is 1 708 meters wide, making it the largest curtain of water in the world. It drops between 90m and 107m into the Zambezi Gorge and an average of 550,000 cubic metres of water plummet over the edge every minute. This spectacular site is considered one of the new natural wonders of the world and will take your breath away.

Elephant Valley Lodge is situated within a game rich reserve. The Lodge has a refreshing swimming pool and 20 'meru styled' fan cooled tents, which each have twin beds and ensuites. Sleeping in these comfortable permanent tents allows you to drift off to sleep to the sounds of the night time jungle.

This morning after breakfast we travel back to Livingstone where your tour finishes on arrival. We are happy to transfer you to the Waterfront Hotel or the airport. It takes roughly 4 hours total for the short drive to the ferry, the ferry itself and then the 45 minute drive back to Livingstone.
