Vic Falls and Chobe

Victoria Falls and Chobe

Here is your chance to experience the majestic Victoria Falls as you travel through Zambia and Botswana. Departing from Johannesburg in the morning, to a boat cruise on the Zambesi river. Quite a change in scenery I must say and also enjoy the guided walk of the falls and then Botswana’s Chobe National Park at the Elephant Valley Lodge close to Chobe. Experience a safari in Africa and see our wildlife. This is an amazing tour.

While it is neither the highest nor the widest waterfall in the world, Victoria Falls is classified as the largest, based on its combined width of 1,708 metres (5,604 ft) and height of 108 metres (354 ft), resulting in the world’s largest sheet of falling water.

Victoria Falls is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World and the major waterfall on the Zambezi River in Africa. It is famous for being the largest waterfall in the world, in the wet season. The African people who live around the falls call it Mosi-oa-Tunya which means “smoke that thunders”.
