Victoria Falls & Chobe Family Magic - 5 Days

Boma Dinner and Drum show - great for the family

Lion sighting on game drive along the Chobe River!

"Our family just loved this package - we has such fun exploring the myriad of pathways along the Victoria Falls and getting soaked by the spray as it rises over the rainforest and wow - watching the elephants in Chobe River is something none of us ever forget"

Two countries and two of southern Africa’s highlights combine for a fantastic Victoria Falls & Chobe family package. Zimbabwe's Victoria Falls is a truly magical sight and once you have seen the Falls there is still so much for the family to enjoy from adventure activities such as the canopy tour (or whitewater rafting for older children), to a cultural dinner and drum show at The Boma, or exciting game drives in the Zambezi National Park. Once you have ticked off the activities at Victoria Falls head to Chobe, just across the border in Botswana, a wildlife mecca where exceptional sightings abound whether you are on a game drive across the floodplains or boat safari on the Chobe River.

Choose from three accommodation grades - Standard, Upgrade and Luxury. Alternatively mix and match accommodation from each grade to create your perfect holiday. Interactive itineraries for each accommodation grade can be viewed below.

Detailed itinerary

You are met on arrival at Victoria Falls airport and transferred to your hotel.

The Victoria Falls is a sight not to be missed - the clouds of spray generated by this thunderous descent have resulted in a lush rain forest full of stunning wild flowers. This is truly one of Africa's most spectacular sights and the Victoria Falls village in Zimbabwe is the perfect base from which to appreciate it.

A host of activities are centred on four separate delights: the Falls, the magnificent Zambezi River, the surrounding Zambezi National Park and the Victoria Falls village.

A tour of the Falls is a must, the 'Flight of Angels' helicopter flight gives you the most amazing aerial views of the Falls, and when water levels are low the Devil's Pool will get the most hardened thrill seeker's heart pumping.

The Zambezi River has two characters - the wide gentle river above the Falls is a magic spot for sunset boat cruises or gentle canoeing, whilst below the Falls, the more adventurous can enjoy serious whitewater rafting, jet boating or bungee jumping.

Game drives, horse riding and conservation safaris are offered in the Zambezi National Park to view elephant and buffalo.

Children are not forgotten and canopy tours cater to all ages. A high tea amidst the colonial splendour of the Victoria Falls Hotel is a daily event and a carnivorous feast at the Boma Restaurant awaits the hungry.

For the whole family to enjoy we include a number of family-friendly activities during your stay - a guided tour of the Falls where your guide will bring to life the flora and fauna of the rainforest as well as providing a history of the Victoria Falls themselves; an adrenaline-inducing (don't worry it's not too scary, and caters to all ages) Canopy Tour which sees the family criss-crossing the Batoka Gorge on a series of ziplines; and finally a feast at the Boma Restaurant where an inter-active drumming, singing and dancing show will have every family member on their feet!

Kasane is the perfect base for exploring Chobe Riverfront , the section of the Chobe National Park which runs along the southern shore of the Chobe River. Chobe Riverfront has very high concentrations of animals – especially in the dry season when the animals are drawn to the river. Chobe is famous for its huge herds of elephants which together with massive herds of buffalo often delight visitors. A sunset cruise on the Chobe River is a wonderful option - cruise amongst the grunting hippo or watch the elephants wade amongst the reed beds.

During your stay four exciting game activities are included to experience the wonderful wildlife that inhabits the Chobe riverfront. Game activities include game drives and river cruises.
