7th Day: Victoria Falls
Breakfast at the hotel. Today visit the Zimbabwean side of the awe-inspiring UNESCO World Heritage Site, Victoria Falls. Described locally as 'The Smoke That Thunders', Victoria Falls sits at the south of the Zambezi River, between Zimbabwe and Zambia. Spend some time being amazed by the power of the falls and visit different vantage points to discover the sheer scale of this natural wonder. During the afternoon we recommend the optional Flight of the Angels Helicopter Experience* or the optional Guided Tour of the Falls from the Zambian and Zimbabwean sides.** Return to the hotel for an overnight stay in Victoria Falls.
*Optional Flight of the Angels Helicopter Experience (13 Minutes): To put the Victoria Falls into a true perspective, they must really be seen from above. The sheer size and grandeur of the spectacle become all the more clear! The huge Zambezi River flows slowly south as the water spreads across the earth before crashing over the lip in a burst of spray and then squeezing into a narrow, foaming, blast of water rushing down the zigzag funnel of the gorges.
**Optional Guided Tour of the Falls (Zambia and Zimbabwe): A guided tour of the falls enables you to delve into the local customs and traditions while gaining insight into how such an exquisite creation came to be. An aura of excitement envelopes everyone who lays eyes on this incredible spectacle and guided tours are conducted from both the Zambian and Zimbabwean sides.
