Victoria Falls Luxury Add-On Tour Safari Overview

This 3-day Victoria Falls luxury add-on offers a seamless extension to your African safari, allowing you to experience one of the world’s most iconic natural wonders in comfort and style. Based on the Zimbabwean side of the falls, this short itinerary combines breathtaking scenery, guided excursions, and relaxing moments along the Zambezi River.

Your journey begins with arrival in Victoria Falls, where you’ll be transferred to the historic Victoria Falls Hotel, one of Africa’s most legendary properties. Set within lush gardens overlooking the spray of the falls, the hotel provides a perfect base for exploring the region while enjoying timeless elegance and exceptional service.

The highlight of your stay is a guided tour of Victoria Falls, known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya — “The Smoke That Thunders.” As you walk through the rainforest paths, you’ll witness the immense curtain of water cascading into the gorge below, creating dramatic mist, roaring sound, and vibrant rainbows. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is widely regarded as one of the greatest natural spectacles on Earth.

In addition to exploring the falls, you’ll enjoy a sunset cruise along the Zambezi River, where calm waters, golden light, and abundant wildlife create a serene and memorable experience. Watch for hippos, elephants, and a variety of birdlife as you drift through this beautiful landscape.

Zimbabwe

In 1855, the Scottish explorer David Livingstone became the first European to visit Victoria Falls declaring that “scenes so lovely must have been gazed upon by angels in their flight”. More evocative names in various local tongues include Mosi-oa-Tunya (Smoke that Thunders), Shungu Namutitima (Boiling Water) and Chongwe (Place of the Rainbow).

When to visit

Zimbabwe can be visited throughout the year. Game viewing is best in the dry winter months of May to October, peaking towards the end of that period as wildlife becomes increasingly drawn to limited perennial water sources. Victoria Falls is most impressive over April to September.

Visas and paperwork

US citizens with a valid passport can obtain a visa upon arrival at any international airport or overland border.
