Keep an eye out for colourful birds, including kingfishers and storks. As the sun sets, enjoy drinks and snacks while celebrating the start of your memorable Africa safari.

Get ready to be amazed by Victoria Falls, situated just 10 km from your lodge. A guided walking tour will lead you through the rainforest, providing incredible views of the Falls.
