Day 1: Arrive in Livingstone | 2 Nights

Up arrow
Victoria Falls, Zambia

Arrive at Johannesburg's OR Tambo International Airport and catch your flight to Livingstone Airport in Zambia. Here you will be met and transferred by road to The Royal Livingstone. Check in and take a wander down to the edge of the Zambezi River, flowing past the hotel's manicured lawns - you should be able to see the rising mist of Victoria Falls from the hotel's riverside bar.

Day 2: Explore the Victoria Falls & surrounds

Up arrow

Enjoy a delicious breakfast before setting out on whatever activities you have planned for the day. Being a guest of The Royal Livingstone entitles you to complimentary access to Victoria Falls and the Zambian side of the Falls is within walking distance of the hotel.

If you are feeling brave, there are plenty of adrenaline-pumping activities such as bungee jumping or whitewater rafting to experience but for something a bit more serene, not much can beat a tranquil sunset boat cruise down the Zambezi River. Other activities in the area include canoe safaris, birdwatching trips, game drives and elephant interaction.

Return to the hotel and enjoy a pampering beauty or spa treatment before enjoying your evening meal.

Days 4-5: View wildlife in Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve

Up arrow

The next two days are spent in the welcome embrace of one of Africa's finest game-viewing destinations. A private reserve adjoining the Kruger National Park, the wildlife-packed Sabi Sand can usually deliver all the Big 5 within a couple of game drives and is also an excellent birding destination.

Wake up early and enjoy a delicious breakfast before setting out on your early morning game drive. Return to the lodge later that morning for a rejuvenating treatment at the health spa or a dip in the pool before heading out on a late afternoon/early evening drive.

Since the Sabi Sand is a private reserve, you will also get guided nature walks, off-road driving and spotlit night drives to add to your safari experience.
