Days 21 & 22: Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe

The next 2 days are spent relaxing or participating in a myriad of Optional Excursions. Some of your fellow passengers will leave you in Victoria Falls, to be replaced by new passengers joining you for the next leg of our trek.

Optional excursions include trips into the Zambezi or Hwange National Parks, Elephant-back safaris, horse back safaris, a visit to the crocodile ranch, boat cruises and golf at The Elephant Hills Resort.

Adrenalin junkies can bungee jump from Victoria Falls Bridge connecting Zimbabwe and Zambia or abseil down the Batoka Gorge - neither activity is for the faint hearted. All year round, flights in fixed wing, micro light and ultra light aircraft or helicopters provide an aerial perspective over this magnificent World Heritage Site.

The white water rafting on the Zambezi is world class. Besides the excitement of the Grade 5 rapids, there are the 'floats,' where there is time to admire the scenic cliffs and the occasional wildlife on the riverbanks. Breakfast on both days.

Day 23: Victoria Falls to Livingstone, Zambia

You leave Zimbabwe and cross the Victoria Falls Bridge and the Zambezi River, entering into Zambia at the town of Livingstone. You have the opportunity to view the Victoria Falls from the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, Zambia. Another fantastic photo opportunity.

The day affords you the opportunity to participate in the activities available in Zambia you weren't able to do on the Zimbabwean side of the falls. Tonight you have the option of enjoying a sunset cruise on the mighty Zambezi. Breakfast, lunch, dinner.

Day 24: Livingstone to Lusaka, Zambia

Early in the morning you leave Livingstone and head north through southern Zambia to your campsite on the outskirts of Lusaka, the capital of Zambia. The campsite is home to some local wildlife including the largest antelope – the Eland. Breakfast, lunch, dinner.

Day 25: Lusaka to Chipata, Zambia

From Lusaka you head north east to a beautiful little campsite just 10 km before the Zambia/Malawi border. Here you spend the night before heading into Malawi. Breakfast, lunch, dinner.
