Victoria Falls presents a spectacular sight of awe-inspiring beauty on the Zambezi River, forming a natural border between two countries: Zimbabwe and Zamiba. It is known as ‘Mosi-oa-Tunya’ – ‘The Smoke that Thunders’ for the immense spray and incredible noise caused by the rushing water.

The Luangwa Valley is one of Africa’s prime wildlife sanctuaries, with concentrations and varieties of game and birdlife that have made it world famous. This is the ‘Real Africa’ – herds of buck sheltering grazing on the plains and predators skulking in the shadows waiting to pounce.

Lower Zambezi is perfect for canoeing and water-based safaris, as well as excellent fishing.
