Safari summary
This 7-night safari links three of Southern Africa’s top wildlife regions, beginning at the natural world wonder of Victoria Falls. Here, rainforest trails and viewpoints reveal one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. The thundering cascade is an awe-inspiring introduction to your safari, with time to explore the vibrant town and enjoy a variety of activities, from sunset cruises to cultural encounters.
