Inspiration for your own tailor-made trip
The South Luangwa - Victoria Falls
100% customisable for you
The flight lands in South Africa in the early morning and you connect (with your bags checked through automatically) on to a further two-hour flight to Lusaka, the capital of Zambia. Nearly there now, as you connect onto one final short (just over an hour) domestic flight to Mfuwe in the South Luangwa.
When you land a driver will be waiting to collect you with a board bearing your name. The driver will then escort you to your lodge in the heart of the national park, which is around an hour away. Spend the rest of the afternoon relaxing and getting familiar with your lodge surroundings before sipping on your first Zambian sundowner.
Wake up to the sound of the river flowing and the birds calling, then wander down to the terrace for breakfast and get ready to visit 'The Smoke that Thunders'. As one of the undisputed natural wonders of the world, the Victoria Falls has a combined width of 5,604ft and height of 354ft, making this the largest waterfall in the world. With a guide on hand to provide interesting facts and figures and show you the very best viewpoints, you'll get to experience the towering falls at their mighty and majestic best. Plus, with the sun (hopefully!) shining and the fall spray in the air there is nearly always a bright rainbow over the falls, so make sure you get that perfect insta-snap. Other activities on offer include a helicopter flight over Victoria Falls, white water rafting and canoeing.
As you head back to the lodge enjoy a sunset cruise along the river and spot wildlife on the banks while you sip on a sundowner.
