Then, you will go on a river safari on the mighty Zambezi River. We will enjoy a sunset cruise to end the day.

As its name suggests, Lower Zambezi National Park is dominated by Africa’s 4th longest river as it flows eastward from Kariba Dam towards its Indian Ocean mouth. Flanked by an ever-mutating network of islands, sandbars, and channels, this compellingly wild stretch of the Zambezi supports high densities of elephant, buffalo, hippo, and crocodile. River safaris also offer exceptional birdwatching, while game drives in the atmospheric winter-thorn forest provide a highly likely encounter with predators, such as lions, leopards, and African wild dogs. Your dinner and overnight stay are at Baines’ River Camp.

Zambia’s former capital, Livingstone, is practically synonymous with the majestic Victoria Falls, a must-see bucket-list stop. The falls are a UNESCO World Heritage Site situated just 10 kilometers (6 miles) from the town center. Livingstone is also an engaging town to explore in its own right, boasting an interesting mix of early 19th-century architectural landmarks, quirky museums, funky restaurants, well-stocked shops, and lively markets. Your dinner and overnight stay are at Avani Victoria Falls Resort.

After lunch, you will head out for a game drive and a rhino walk in the Mosi Oa Tunya National Park, which is located in Livingstone. Mosi Oa Tunya National Park is home to various wildlife species, such as giraffes, zebras, hippos, antelopes, Cape buffaloes, and many more. The rhino walk lets us get closer to the white rhinos in the park. Your dinner and overnight stay are at Avani Victoria Falls Resort.

After breakfast, you will go swimming in Devil’s Pool. Seeing Victoria Falls from an aerial view, it would only be right to become part of it by swimming in Devil’s Pool. This natural pool is formed right on the edge of the falls, literally allowing you to live on the edge.

After the swim, you will visit Mukwalantila Village, about 85 kilometers (53 miles) north of Livingstone. This cultural tour is meant to provide a half-day or full-day insight into a typical Tonga village. A site is earmarked as a campsite for tourists who wish to spend a night in a Zambian Village. This tour is meant to showcase the lifestyle of the Tonga people of the southern province. Depending on the season, they may be plowing, harvesting, or gardening.
