8-Day Victoria Falls, Chobe and Hwange Safari with Houseboat Stay

Upon arrival at Victoria Falls Airport, you will be met and transferred to your accommodation. After check-in, relax and take in your first impressions of this remarkable destination.

In the afternoon, you will enjoy a relaxed sunset cruise. As the boat glides gently along the water, take in the atmosphere, spot wildlife along the banks, and end the day with a drink.

After breakfast, a road transfer takes you across the border to Kasane in Botswana, where you board your luxury houseboat on the Chobe River. A freshly prepared lunch is served on arrival as you begin to settle into life on the water.

Over the next two days, the houseboat drifts gently along the river, setting the pace for a relaxed and immersive safari experience. Daily excursions in smaller boats take you into the channels of the Chobe River, offering close-up encounters with wildlife along the banks, including elephants, hippos, and a rich variety of birdlife.

Between activities, there is ample time to unwind on board, take in the passing scenery, and enjoy the quiet rhythm of the river as the landscape unfolds around you.
