Quick Facts

Overview of Victoria Falls Safari Packages

Victoria Falls safari packages combine the thrill of African wildlife with the awe-inspiring beauty of one of the world’s largest waterfalls. These tours typically include game drives in nearby national parks, boat cruises on the Zambezi River, and guided walks to view the falls from multiple angles.

Why Choose a Victoria Falls Safari?

Unlike standard safaris focused solely on wildlife, Victoria Falls packages offer a unique blend of nature experiences. You’ll witness the power of the falls while still enjoying excellent game viewing opportunities in nearby parks like Chobe or Hwange.

Best Time to Visit Victoria Falls

The ideal time for Victoria Falls safaris depends on what you want to experience:

• June-October 2026/2027: Best for wildlife viewing as animals gather near water sources
• February-May: Peak water flow at the falls but some viewpoints may be obscured
• November-January: Good combination of waterfall views and wildlife

Sample Safari Itinerary

A typical 5-day Victoria Falls safari package might include:

1. Day 1: Arrival in Livingstone, sunset cruise
2. Day 2: Morning tour of the falls, afternoon game drive
3. Day 3: Full day in Chobe National Park
4. Day 4: Optional activities (helicopter ride, cultural tour)
