🗺️ Detailed Day-by-Day Itinerary

Day 1 – Arrival & Welcome in Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe)

Arrive at Victoria Falls International Airport (VFA) or Livingstone Airport (LVI) and transfer in style to your luxury lodge overlooking the Zambezi River.

Unwind with a welcome drink before a private sunset cruise on the Zambezi — a serene introduction to floodplains, hippos grazing in twilight, and herds gathering at the river’s edge.

Accommodation: Premium riverfront lodge or boutique luxury camp

Day 2 – Private Morning Tour of Victoria Falls + Helicopter Flight

After an elegant breakfast, enjoy a private guided walk through the Victoria Falls rainforest. Your expert guide brings the geology, local lore, and natural rhythms of the Falls to life.

In the afternoon, take to the skies on the “Flight of Angels” helicopter tour — an awe-inspiring aerial experience that soars over the 108-m curtain of falling water, deep gorges, and surrounding wilderness.

Accommodation: Same premium lodge

Today, choose between:

• A private game drive in Zambezi National Park (Zimbabwe)

In the evening, return to your lodge for a private dining experience, designed around local flavors and paired with fine South African or Zimbabwean wines.
