For A Great Adventure, Try Victoria Falls!

The famous Dr. Livingstone may have been the first to discover the amazing beauty of Victoria Falls, but it is something which you too can enjoy! The Zambezi Safari and Travel Company has a number of tour packages to offer you an unforgettable safari vacation!

Designed to accommodate all personal tastes and budgets, there are ready-made four-day and seven-day packages; or a special personalized package can be arranged for you at your request. Currently the four-day packages range from $595- $695 per person sharing hotel accomodations, and $1695 for the seven-day package.

If you like camping, you might enjoy a canoe safari, located on the Zambezi River. This is a great way to get in touch with the outdoors, as you will sleep in tents and your meals will be prepared by your tour guide! On this trip you will be an active participant, assisting in preparing the campsites and the clean-up details. The canoe safaris range from the most basic to the deluxe ten-day tours. In addition to camping and canoeing, the canoe safari is excellent for fishing and photography.

The ultimate adventure can be found in Zambezi whitewater rafting. Safari Par Excellence offers a number of trip packages from $110 per person, one day, to $515 for a five-day expedition; other packages can be specially arranged. Considered to be the best whitewater rafting in the world, it is also the most dangerous; therefore it is important for those who choose this activity to be in relatively good health.

If you wish adventure of a less-dangerous nature, Victoria Falls has many other options to consider. These activities may be combined for a custom-designed tour. One delightful excursion is the African Lion Encounter. At only $100 per person for a morning or an afternoon encounter, you can have a once-in-a-lifetime experience of personally interacting with lion cubs on the Masuwe Estate. Although this is carefully supervised by trained personnel for the safety of both the lions and guests, only guests who are over sixteen years of age are allowed to participate in the lion encounter.

You may also be interested in the Elephant Back Safari, where you will have the opportunity to interact with these animals as well as ride them through areas where you can view other wildlife, such as zebra, buffalo, crocodile, and a wide range of bird species. With this type of hands-on approach to the elephants, you will learn much about their intelligence and means of interacting.

The Victoria Falls Game Drives take place at the Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park, which is home to white rhino, wildebeest, zebra, antelope, buffalo and giraffe. Each 2 1/2-hour game drive is supervised by experienced guides; and is available year-round for only $45 per person.

Victoria Falls has much more to offer than its wildlife. If you truly seek adventure, other activities you can take part in include bungee jumps, river boarding, abseiling, micro-light flights, helicopter flips, and kayaking, and tours of the area's museums, markets, and cultural village.

When considering your trip to Victoria Falls, it would be best to keep the timing in mind– while the presence and activities of its wildlife are essentially consistent, April presents the optimum time for viewing the Falls themselves. April is also the best time for bird-viewing, prior to the birds' northbound migration.

From viewing and interacting with endangered and protected wildlife, to participating in a wide assortment of challenging activities, to having the opportunity to photograph one of the seven natural wonders of the world, Victoria Falls offers you a most memorable trip!
