Overview

A uniquely designed package, this 12-day tour brings together two of Africa’s most iconic images: animals on the Kenyan savannah and the spectacle of the raging Zambezi River thundering over a mile-long precipice – Victoria Falls. Flying directly between key destinations means you maximise your time on safari, and your accommodation is as breath-taking as the scenery it sits in.

The adventure begins with a night in Nairobi before you had to the grasslands of the Masai Mara and a tented camp lying under thorn trees. Naboisho Camp is well located to experience the annual Wildebeest Migration between July and November, but this is the Masai Mara and the area has amazing game viewing all year round.

It’s then another relaxing night at the Crowne Plaza Nairobi before finally, a flight south to where one of the world’s greatest natural wonders awaits. Known locally as ‘the Smoke that Thunders’, Victoria Falls sits at the heart of a region famous for its safari and white-knuckle adventures: track rare rhinos, hop on a white-water rafting trip, do some shopping at local markets, or slow things down with a sunset river boat cruise.

Well-paced with fantastic accommodation throughout and all logistics taken care of, this is a tour that will appeal to discerning travellers – especially honeymooners and couples on a special journey – who are looking for comfort and experience in equal measure.
