Everything you need to know about planning your multi-day safari adventure
For a comprehensive Victoria Falls and Chobe experience, we recommend 4-5 days. This allows time for guided Falls walks, sunset cruises, Chobe game drives and boat cruises, cultural experiences like Boma dinner, and optional activities. Our 4-day tour covers the essentials, while 5-day tours add luxury experiences like Elephant Café and Livingstone Island visits.
The 4-day tour focuses on Victoria Falls and Chobe essentials: guided Falls walks, sunset cruises, Chobe safaris, and Boma dinner. The 5-day Ultimate tour adds premium experiences including Livingstone Island (Zambia side), Devil's Pool (accessible mid-August to mid-January), ethical elephant interaction at Elephant Café, and gourmet dining. Both include seamless cross-border logistics and quality accommodation.
Yes, all multi-day tours include accommodation. Standard tours include comfortable lodge accommodation. Luxury tours feature premium lodges and camps. Accommodation is typically in Victoria Falls town for easy access to activities. All rooms include private bathrooms, and many properties feature pools, restaurants, and scenic views of the Zambezi River or surrounding bush.
Absolutely! All our multi-day tours can be customized to match your interests, budget, and travel dates. You can add activities like helicopter flights, bungee jumping, or extend your stay in Chobe. We can also adjust accommodation levels, add rest days, or combine with other destinations. Use our Safari Planner to request a custom itinerary tailored to your preferences.
