This 14-day Victoria Falls and Botswana safari is a carefully curated journey designed to showcase the very best of Southern Africa. The itinerary combines adventure, culture, wildlife, and iconic scenery into a seamless travel experience guided by Excellence Trails Travel.

The journey begins in Livingstone, Zambia, where guests enjoy a blend of cultural encounters and close-up exploration of Victoria Falls from the Zambian side. Activities such as the Mukuni Village visit, Livingstone Museum, and game viewing in Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park provide a rich introduction to the region.

The experience then transitions into high-adrenaline adventure, including a full day of white water rafting on the Zambezi River, followed by continued exploration of Victoria Falls. Guests will cross into Zimbabwe to experience the Falls from the most dramatic viewpoints, complemented by a second guided Falls visit, abseiling in the Batoka Gorge, a sunset dinner cruise, and a scenic helicopter flight over the Falls.

The journey concludes with a classic African safari in Botswana’s Chobe National Park, one of the best places in Africa to see elephants, along with a wide variety of wildlife during game drives and river cruises.

This trip is ideal for travelers seeking a balance of adventure, cultural immersion, and wildlife, while enjoying comfortable and carefully selected accommodation throughout. Each experience is professionally guided to ensure safety, insight, and a truly memorable African safari journey.
