Desert, Delta & River to Vic Falls

If you believe a proper safari can’t be rushed, this is your itinerary. Twelve days gives you the time to truly settle into Botswana’s legendary wilderness, moving thoughtfully between Victoria Falls, Chobe National Park, and the Okavango Delta. The pace is set for genuine immersion, allowing the rhythms of the bush to reveal themselves. The journey begins with the thunder of Victoria Falls before you cross into Botswana for the elephant-dense riverfronts of Chobe. The heart of the safari is a deep dive into the Okavango Delta, staying at two distinct camps. You’ll experience a classic ‘wet’ camp, exploring the reed-lined channels by mokoro, and a ‘dry’ camp on savannah plains known for incredible predator viewing. By combining game drives, guided walks, and water excursions, you get a complete picture of this UNESCO World Heritage Site in a way a shorter trip simply can't offer.

Family Legacy Safari

This ten-day journey is built for families bringing multiple generations together in Africa. We have paced it deliberately so that grandparents and grandchildren can travel at a comfortable rhythm, balancing active days on safari with quiet afternoons to rest and talk. The journey starts at Victoria Falls, continues into the elephant country of Chobe National Park in Botswana, and ends in the quiet channels of the Okavango Delta. You will stay in small, welcoming lodges, including a private camp in a quieter, less-visited sector of Chobe. This keeps you away from the midday crowds and the rush. Because we live here and coordinate every step ourselves, you do not have to worry about the logistics of moving a family across borders. Your Verdanti host handles every transfer and detail in person. This is about giving your family the space to simply be together, sharing stories around the fire and watching the sun go down over the river.

The Luxury Triangle: Falls, Hwange & Delta

This twelve day journey is designed for those who want to see Southern Africa's most remarkable landscapes without feeling rushed or uncomfortable. We have combined the sheer scale of Victoria Falls with two of our favorite wildlife regions: Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe and the Okavango Delta in Botswana. It is a classic route, but we plan it to keep you away from the crowds. You will start in Victoria Falls, staying at the quiet Victoria Falls Safari Club. It is set back from the main town, overlooking a busy woodland waterhole where elephants often come to drink. While you are here, we will take you to see the falls with a private guide and arrange an evening on the historic steam train that travels through the park. Next, a short light aircraft flight brings you into Hwange National Park to stay at Somalisa Camp. Somalisa is famous for its elephant pool right in front of the main deck, where you can sit with a tea or a gin and tonic and watch breeding herds drink just feet away from you. The final stop is a flight into the Okavango Delta to stay at Atzaró Okavango Camp. This is a spectacular, water-rich concession where you can glide through the quiet channels by mokoro, a traditional dugout canoe, or head out on classic game drives to find lions and leopards. Because we design and coordinate this trip personally, every flight, transfer, and local guide is managed by us. We are on the ground in the region and reachable throughout your travel, ensuring your journey is entirely comfortable and completely stress free.

Victoria Falls & Chobe Ultimate Safari

This five-day trip brings together two of Southern Africa's most remarkable places, Victoria Falls and Chobe National Park, without the rushed feeling of a typical tour. We give both destinations the time they actually need so you can slow down and take them in. You will stand at the edge of the spray with a private guide, enjoy a dinner of local flavors, and then spend two full days among Chobe's famous elephant herds, exploring both by open safari vehicle and by boat on the river. Because we are based right here in Victoria Falls, we handle every transfer and border crossing personally. Our team is with you at every step to make the transition between Zimbabwe and Botswana completely straightforward, with no logistics or paperwork for you to worry about. It is designed to feel like one continuous, well-planned journey rather than two separate trips.

The Ultimate Zimbabwe Safari: Falls, Hwange & Mana Pools

This nine-day safari is how we show you the absolute best of Zimbabwe, connecting three completely different wilderness areas. You start at Victoria Falls, watching the Zambezi plunge into the gorge, before flying south to the deep teak forests and open plains of Hwange National Park. You finish on the floodplains of Mana Pools, a wild stretch of the Zambezi River famous for walking safaris. Because we live and work in Victoria Falls, we are on the ground with you. We are not a faceless booking site half a world away. We personally coordinate every detail of your trip, from your arrival to the light aircraft flights that connect these remote camps. If a flight is delayed or a plan needs to change, we handle it directly so you can focus on the wildlife. We have hand-picked these camps because they are small, personal, and run by people we know. They are home to some of the finest guides in Africa. These are professionals who can read the morning tracks in the sand, explain the complex life of the bush, and make you feel entirely safe and welcome from your very first day.

Zambezi Weekend

Zambezi Weekend is a short Victoria Falls stay for couples, friends, or anyone adding two easy nights before or after a longer journey. One late afternoon is on the river with Ra-Ikane. The rest of the time is yours for the rainforest, town, or simply watching the light change from a rooftop. You sleep at 528 Victoria Falls, a bed and breakfast in a quiet, leafy suburb about 2.5 kilometres from town and 3 kilometres from the waterfall. The house has a pool, a tropical garden and Treetops, a rooftop honesty bar looking toward the Zambezi. Breakfast is included. Dinner in town is not. Ra-Ikane takes a maximum of 16 guests on a replica of David Livingstone's exploration boat, with drinks, snacks, transfers and the park fees that apply to the cruise. The price shown is the low-season 2027 rate of USD 599 per person sharing, for travel from 16 January to 30 April 2027 and from 1 November to 15 December 2027. High season, from 1 May to 31 October 2027 and from 16 December 2027 to 15 January 2028, is USD 679 per person sharing. The package is sold for a minimum of two guests. Not included: Victoria Falls rainforest entrance, visas, travel insurance, tips, flights, and meals other than breakfast and the snacks served on the cruise. Airport transfers are not included unless they are the transfers that come with the cruise.

Falls and Hwange

Falls and Hwange is for travellers who want the waterfall and a sunset on the Zambezi, then real game-drive country without an internal flight. Two nights in Victoria Falls are followed by three nights at Robins Camp, a revitalised historic camp in the wilder, less-visited north-west of Hwange, about two hours by road from the Falls. Robins is the heart of the safari. The country around it is varied and known for predators, including lion and wild dog. You are on full board, with two game drives a day, and park overnight fees are included in the camp rate used here. Drives tend to feel quieter than the busier Main Camp side of the park. The middle of the day is at camp. Victoria Falls is the easy opening. You stay at 528 Victoria Falls, a leafy bed and breakfast about 2.5 kilometres from town, with breakfast included and time for the rainforest if you pay the entrance locally. One late afternoon is the Ra-Ikane sunset cruise, for a maximum of 16 guests, with drinks, snacks, transfers and cruise park fees. The road transfers between town and Robins are included, out and back. The price shown is the green-season 2027 rate of USD 1,990 per person sharing, when Robins is on its green-season rate: 1 January to 31 May 2027 and 1 November to 31 December 2027. Outside those windows the package is USD 2,390 per person sharing. Minimum two guests. Not included: Victoria Falls rainforest entrance, visas, travel insurance, tips, flights, and meals in town other than breakfast and the snacks on the cruise. This uses the full-board Robins rate with game drives, not the shorter-notice special that leaves park fees out.

Falls and Western Chobe

Falls and Western Chobe opens with the waterfall, then moves to the quieter western side of Chobe. The wildlife nights are at Muchenje Safari Lodge, set on an escarpment above the floodplain about 60 kilometres from Kasane, away from the busier eastern riverfront. Muchenje is fully inclusive: meals, drinks, activities, park fees and laundry. Game viewing follows the lodge programme, and the point of staying here is that the drives feel personal and unhurried. You spend three nights. In the January to March 2027 window this package uses, the lodge's pay-two-stay-three offer is already in the price. Victoria Falls is two nights at 528 Victoria Falls, a leafy bed and breakfast about 2.5 kilometres from town, with breakfast included and one late afternoon on the Ra-Ikane sunset cruise (drinks, snacks, transfers and cruise park fees, maximum 16 guests). A private transfer from Victoria Falls or Livingstone to Muchenje is included. The supplier currently marks that transfer line as provisional. The price on this page, USD 1,990 per person sharing, is for January, February and March 2027 only. December 2027 to March 2028, and the shoulder and high seasons, are quoted on request. Minimum two guests. Not included: Victoria Falls rainforest entrance, visas, travel insurance, tips, flights, and meals in town other than breakfast and the snacks on the cruise. A departure that is not the included transfer to Muchenje, including a return to Victoria Falls Airport, should be confirmed when you book. If you fly into Kasane instead, the airport-to-lodge transfer is complimentary with Muchenje.

Got Questions?

Frequently asked

Most international travelers require a visa. The most convenient option is the KAZA Univisa ($50 USD), which is available on arrival at major border posts and airports. It allows you to travel freely between Zimbabwe and Zambia for up to 30 days and includes day trips to Botswana (via Kasane).

Yes, Victoria Falls is located in a malaria risk zone, especially during the warm, wet summer months (November to April). We strongly advise consulting your medical doctor or a local travel clinic before departure regarding appropriate malaria prophylactics, and carrying insect repellent containing DEET.

In Zimbabwe, the US Dollar (USD) is widely accepted and preferred for tourism activities, national park entry fees, restaurants, and souvenirs. Credit cards (Visa and Mastercard) are commonly accepted at hotels and established restaurants, but carrying smaller cash denominations ($1, $5, $10, $20) is highly recommended.

The best time depends on your travel goals. For the most powerful spray and thunderous flow, visit from March to May (water levels are highest). For white-water rafting, walking safaris, and swimming in Devil's Pool, the low-water dry season (August to December) is ideal. Mid-year (June to August) offers a perfect balance of clear days and peak wildlife viewing.

Absolutely. Victoria Falls is a dedicated, highly secure hub with an exceptionally low crime rate. The local community is welcoming and tourist-friendly. We also provide our guests with 24/7 local support and private airport/activity road transfers for complete peace of mind.
