Victoria Falls: Scenic Microlight Flight

1. Victoria Falls: Scenic Microlight Flight

Take an incredible microlight flight over the Zambezi River and admire the breathtaking scenery of the surrounding National Parks. Keep your eyes peeled for a host of exciting game sightings, and shortly after takeoff, enjoy breathtaking views as you circle over the magnificent Victoria Falls. Choose between a 15-minute flight or a 30-minute flight. The shorter version is an exhilarating flight over the Victoria Falls, the islands near the Falls and thundering Zambezi River. Gaze in awe at the breathtaking views of the Falls and the spectacular gorge that the Zambezi River has carved into the surrounding landscape over many thousands of years. The longer version flies along the Zambezi River, circling the Victoria Falls and flying over the Mosi oa Tunya National Park. End the experience with a low-level swoop over the National Park to spot wildlife and birds. After your flight, the microlight will land and drop you off back where you started from.

Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park: Half-Day Guided Nature Walk

2. Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park: Half-Day Guided Nature Walk

Your tour starts with hotel pickup in Livingstone for the drive to Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, where your nature walk takes place with your guide. Nature walks provide a more natural and eco-friendly way of viewing African game, birds, and plant life instead of a safari vehicle. Plus, on this walk, you have flexibility with your guide to spend longer than the standard duration of three hours, if you wish. This park is home to three of Africa's Big Five animals—elephant, buffalo, and a big part of Zambia's white rhino population. Your guide will also show you wildlife such as giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, warthogs, primates, and antelopes—to mention but a few—as well as the local tree varieties, including teaks, mahoganies, and the mopane and marula trees, a favorite of the elephants. During a mid-walk break, perhaps near the Zambezi River, aka Kasamba Bezi, you'll have the chance to observe hippos and ibis along the riverbanks. When your time ends, you'll be returned to your pickup location to end your tour. This walking safari through the park and surrounding area is suitable for active and adventurous participants.

From Livingstone: Mosi oa Tunya Park Game Drive

3. From Livingstone: Mosi oa Tunya Park Game Drive

Get picked up from your accommodation in Livingstone and depart for the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park. The park covers 66 km-squared area along about 20 km of the Zambian Riverbank and makes up the boundary of the city of Livingstone. There are 2 main sections, each with separate entrances: a wildlife park at its north-western end, and the land adjacent to the immense and awe-inspiring Victoria Falls, which in the rainy season is the world's largest curtain of falling water. The park extends downstream from the falls and to the south-east along the Batoka Gorges. The park is home to plenty of bird species, palm forest, and an abundance of animals that include buffaloes, impalas, wild beasts, giraffes, zebras, elephants, amongst others. This tour includes the chance to drive along the Zambezi River where with some luck, you can take the opportunity to view hippos and elephants as they come and drink water in the river during the dry season. The activity also includes the chance to see the few remaining rhinos in the area, a protected species which has been affected by poaching.

Very good visit to the falls on the Zambian side. Very friendly guide with good explanations. We were lucky to have a rainbow and the water level at the falls was very strong.
