Days 5 - 6
Livingstone, Zambia
After a road / boat transfer to the local airstrip, board a scheduled charter flight to Livingstone, Zambia, the adrenaline capital of Southern Africa. On arrival in Livingstone, you will be met and transferred to your hotel situated near the Victoria Falls on the Zambian side of the Zambezi River.
The Royal Livingstone Hotel promises to bring a new level of luxury and sophistication to this world famous region. It's an exceptional destination for the discerning traveler, with interiors that capture all the opulence of a bygone era. Every detail has been lovingly crafted to create the impression of being in another place in time, a time of romance and adventure.
Victoria Falls is the center of a hive of activities from crafts markets to more adventurous sports. The Victoria Falls themselves offer the most spectacular views and are a must for the photographer, and a walk in the rain forest is a memorable experience. Visit the cultural village, handicraft markets, or museum.
The railway bridge offers one of the highest and most thrilling bungee jumps in the world. "The Flight of Angels," a flight over the falls by light aircraft, helicopter, or microlight, offers views experienced by few.
If water sport is your choice of activity then try the white water rafting or power boating below the falls. A more sedate but equally adventurous activity is to take a guided canoe safari or fish for the prized tiger fish. Game drives and elephant rides into the Mosi O Tunya National Park give you the chance to view Zambia's only white rhino population.
Please note: Victoria Falls activites are at additional cost.
