THE ULTIMATE VICTORIA FALLS EXPERIENCE
ITINERARY: 2 NIGHTS 3 DAYS
Sunset River Cruise on Zambezi – Victoria Falls (Zambia Side) – Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe Side)
Experience the full majesty of Mosi-oa-Tunya, "The Smoke That Thunders," from both sides of the border. This condensed yet comprehensive itinerary combines the best viewing perspectives of the world's largest sheet of falling water with a relaxing sunset cruise on the mighty Zambezi River.
Day 1
Arrival & Zambezi Sunset Cruise
Welcome to the adventure capital of Africa! Upon arrival at Livingstone (LVI) or Victoria Falls (VFA) Airport, you will be transferred to your lodge. Settle in and enjoy the warm hospitality and lush surroundings.
As the afternoon creates long shadows, embark on a magical sunset river cruise on the Zambezi. Drift past islands where elephants wade and hippos surface to breathe. Toast to the setting sun with refreshing drinks as the sky paints itself in brilliant hues of orange and purple.
Overnight: Avani Victoria Falls Resort / Victoria Falls Hotel (or similar)
Day 2
Falls Discovery: Zim & Zam Sides
Today is dedicated to awe-inspiring views. Begin with a guided tour of the Zimbabwe side, walking through the rainforest to see the Main Falls, Devil's Cataract, and Horseshoe Falls. The perpetual mist here nurtures a unique ecosystem and offers classic panoramic vistas.
Cross the border via the iconic Victoria Falls Bridge to explore the Zambian side. Brave the Knife-Edge Bridge for an up-close, soaking encounter with the spray, and peer into the churning Boiling Pot below. Capturing the falls from both angles ensures you truly appreciate the scale of this Natural Wonder.

Day 3
Departure
Enjoy a final breakfast with the sound of the falls in the distance. Depending on your flight time, you might have a chance for a last stroll through the local craft market before your transfer to the airport, carrying unforgettable memories of the Smoke That Thunders.
Experience Nature
More Than Just Water
While the Falls are the star, the surrounding area is teeming with life. The Zambezi National Park (Zimbabwe) and Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park (Zambia) are home to wandering elephants, baboons, and antelope.
Your sunset cruise isn't just scenic—it's a water safari. Look out for Nile crocodiles basking on sandbanks, hippos yawning in the channels, and a rich variety of birdlife including the African Fish Eagle.
