3 Day Zambia/Zimbabwe/Botswana Combo

Q: s this trip very rushed, given we're covering three countries in three days?

While efficient, the itinerary is carefully designed for depth over haste. You spend a full day immersed in the core experiences of each country: the Falls in Zimbabwe, an alternative perspective in Zambia, and a comprehensive safari in Botswana. Our seamless logistical handling of borders and transfers maximizes your time for actual experiences, not waiting in lines.

Q: What currency should we carry for daily expenses across the borders?

Carry a mix of US Dollars (in small, clean, un-torn bills post-2009 series) for visa fees, souvenirs, and tips. Zimbabwe primarily uses USD. Botswana uses the Pula (BWP), but USD is widely accepted at lodges and for activities. Credit cards are accepted at many larger establishments, but cash is king for markets and smaller vendors. Your guide can advise on daily exchange needs.

Overview

Journey beyond borders on a three-day expedition across the soul of Southern Africa. This unique combo trip is a seamless tapestry of three iconic nations, offering the raw power of the Zambian-side view of Victoria Falls, the immersive wildlife spectacle of Botswana’s Chobe National Park by boat and 4×4, and the majestic, classic panoramas from the Zimbabwean rainforest.

More than a tour, it’s a thrilling trifecta of perspectives—where you’ll feel the spray from a different angle, witness the world’s greatest elephant population in action, and experience the profound connectivity of these legendary landscapes, all curated for a seamless, awe-inspiring adventure.

Highlights

The Triple Perspective of Victoria Falls: Experience the "Smoke that Thunders" from three distinct viewpoints: feel the thunderous roar from the Zimbabwean rainforest, witness the dramatic, wide-angle curtain from the Zambian side, and gain a breathtaking aerial panorama from an optional helicopter flight—a complete, multi-sensory immersion in this Natural Wonder.
Epic Chobe River Safari: Glide along the life-giving Chobe Riverfront in Botswana for a water-level wildlife spectacle. This is the best place on earth to observe vast herds of elephants bathing, socializing, and drinking, alongside abundant hippos, crocodiles, and birdlife, creating intimate and unforgettable encounters.
A Seamless Transnational Adventure: Experience the unique thrill and logistical ease of traversing three countries in one fluid itinerary. This journey showcases the distinct character and iconic offerings of each nation—Zambia's raw power, Botswana's wildlife density, and Zimbabwe's classic grandeur—without the hassle of independent planning.
Sunset Safari on Two Rivers: Cap your days with legendary African sundowners from two different majestic rivers: first on the Zambezi and then on the Chobe. Each offers a unique palette of colors and wildlife activity, providing serene, golden-hour moments that frame your adventure in perfect, tranquil beauty.

Day 1 :

Zimbabwe – The Rainforest & The Roar

Morning: Your expert guide meets you in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. Embark on a guided "Path of the Rainbow" walk through the Victoria Falls Rainforest. Experience the iconic, full-curtain views, feel the drenching spray at Danger Point, and learn the rich history and geology of this World Heritage Site from your local expert.

Afternoon: Enjoy a leisurely lunch at a renowned café in Victoria Falls town. Afterwards, experience the vibrant local culture with a visit to the Victoria Falls Craft Market or a traditional artisanal workshop, where you can connect with local creators.

Late Afternoon: Sundowner Majesty. Board a classic sunset cruise on the Zambezi River upstream of the Falls. With a drink in hand, watch elephants, hippos, and countless birds against the backdrop of a blazing African sky melting into the water.

Evening: Dine at a premier local restaurant, with the distant rumble of the Falls as your ambiance. Overnight at your Victoria Falls lodge.

Day 2 :

Zambia – The Eastern Cataract & Livingstone's View

Morning: After breakfast, your guide assists with the short transfer and crossing onto the Zambian side via the Victoria Falls Bridge. Walk the paths of Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park for a powerful, visceral experience. Stand at the Knife-Edge Bridge amidst the spray for a thrilling view into the Boiling Pot, and visit the statue of Dr. David Livingstone at his historic viewpoint.

Afternoon: Return to Zimbabwe for lunch. The afternoon offers a choice: embrace adventure with an optional "Flight of Angels" helicopter tour over the Falls for the ultimate aerial perspective, or opt for a deeper cultural immersion with a visit to a nearby community project.

Evening: At leisure. Your guide can arrange a special dinner reservation, or you may enjoy the amenities of your lodge under the stars.

Day 3 :

Botswana – The River of Giants

Morning: An early start for your Botswana safari immersion. Your guide facilitates the scenic transfer and seamless border crossing into Botswana. Head straight to the Chobe Riverfront for a 3-hour guided morning boat cruise. Glide past immense herds of elephants bathing, pods of hippos, and basking crocodiles in one of Africa's most concentrated wildlife ecosystems.

Afternoon: Disembark for a delicious buffet lunch at a lodge overlooking the Chobe River. Then, embark on the final adventure: a comprehensive afternoon 4x4 game drive in Chobe National Park. Traverse the savannah and floodplains in search of lion, buffalo, giraffe, and the park's diverse antelope species.

Late Afternoon: A Golden Farewell. Enjoy your final sundowner as the sun sets over the Chobe landscape. Your guide will then assist with the return border crossing and transfer you back to your Victoria Falls lodge or directly to Victoria Falls Airport (VFA) for your onward journey, your spirit brimming with the magic of three nations.
