Day 1: Arrive Victoria Falls Town

Arrive to Victoria Falls town where you are met at the airport and transfer to your hotel, located closest to the Falls and offering breathtaking views of its spray during high water season. 

Contact us to arrange additional hotel nights during layovers en route.

Day 2: Victoria Falls

Wake this morning to set out and explore Victoria Falls town. During wet season or the first months into dry season, the falls' waters are thundering over the edge, and may even create a spray that rises high above the forests. Set out to see the Falls close up today and wander the walkways to get a closer look. The day is free for you to do as you like. You may hire a guide for a thorough tour of Victoria Falls locally, or take advantage of the many adventure activities offered in Victoria Falls town, such as zip-line canopy tours or whitewater rafting. The day is yours to plan.

Day 3: On to The Hide

Travel on to Hwange National Park today. Drive two and a half hours to Hwange main entrance, and from here board open-air safari vehicles for a game drive for the remaining hour and a half drive to your lodge. The Hide is situated on its own private concession along the eastern boundary of Hwange National Park.

Day 4-5: Activities in Hwange National Park

Once the original hunting ground of the Ndebele kings, this region has been well known for its abundance of wildlife, in particular its large herds of elephant and buffalo. Spend three nights here enjoying game drives and walking safaris as you experience the amazing diversity of wildlife inside Hwange National Park. Four scheduled safari activities are included each day. Plan your days as you please or just enjoy them relaxing at the safari camp and spotting wildlife from its decks.

This was my first experience with Adventure Life - and I couldn't have been more pleased with the trip. The guides and local staff in both Buenos Aires and Uruguay were terrific - extremely helpful and accommodating. I really enjoyed meeting the friendly staff in Buenos Aires in person (I left my bags with them for the afternoon).
