DAYS 6 - 8 in Victoria Falls
Victoria's Embrace: Spectacular Views, Luxurious Nights
Your Accommodation

You’ll spend three nights at the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge: this superb property which looks like an enormous tree house rising over the Zambezi National Park, just on the outskirts of the town offers the possibility to see game right from your bedroom balcony. The Lodge has been rated by its own industry as the best lodge in the whole of Zimbabwe for nearly all of its twenty-year history. It’s easy to see why: not only are you close enough to hear the thunder of the falls, you’re also so close to the towns of Livingstone and Victoria Falls but at the same time, have vistas over the African plains where wild animals roam day and night. Victoria Falls was so named by the British explorer Dr. Livingstone after his queen at the time: the traditional name, Mosi-oa-Tunya, is much more evocative, meaning ‘the smoke which thunders’. At the time of year you are travelling, the Zambezi is not in flood and as such, the volume of water cascading over the edge will not be as remarked as in flood season. However this will mean that the full height and breadth of the falls will be all the more remarkable, as in in flood, the mist rising from falls totally obscures its base.

A helicopter flight will be arranged and will transport you to the face of the falls over the Upper Gorges, followed by a short visit to the upper river.

Your Food

Match all this with luxurious rooms and a choice of two restaurants on site and you’ll have a hard time leaving.

DAY 9 in Johannesburg
Rose Gardens and Elegance
Your Accommodation

Leighwood Lodge has been a firm favourite of travellers to Johannesburg for many years: it’s the tranquillity right in the middle of one of Africa’s largest cities that really sets it apart, as well as the owners, Sam and Leigh who are the most gracious hosts one can imagine. Enjoy the lush rose gardens and the extra length beds! You’ll be collected from O R Tambo Airport and taken straight to Leighwood Lodge, which is about a 45-minute drive.
