Quality
This indicates the overall quality of the tour operator's products. A low rating does not mean it is not good - it just means that it does not include as much, or perhaps is of a more standard quality than the higher quality tours. For example, a 3 star quality rating means that it is a more standard/economical tour, while 5 stars is a very luxurious tour that often includes a lot of amenities.

Overview
This trip is for African adventurers who want to extend their Okavango Delta and Deserts trip in the best way possible: taking a transfer to the majestic Victoria Falls. The world's largest waterfall, the thunderous power of this natural miracle has to be seen to be believed. We'll whizz you to the waterfall with included transfers and sort your comfy accommodation out, so you can focus on all the adventure activities available to you. We'll also include a tour of the falls to end your adventure on a high, but please note that this is an unguided trip. It offers you the easiest chance to see the falls when on another one of our epic group tours in Africa.

Excited much? Make your way to your accommodation in Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders and the largest waterfall in the world. You might want to pack your raincoat, as during certain times of the year you can get drenched from the rising spray, giving the falls its local name: 'The smoke that thunders'. You'll have the chance to jump, zipline or swing off the famous bridge connecting Zimbabwe and Zambia over the Zambezi River. Please note: From January to June this trip puts you in the Victoria Falls Waterfront Hotel, Zambia, with a riverside deck and bar that overlooks the spray of the thunderous falls. Travelling from July to December? Don't worry, you're not missing out: we'll put you up in the Shearwater Explorers Village, Zimbabwe, just 400m from the falls - with bohemian cafes, curio markets and swimming pools to explore. It's win win, basically.
Accommodations:Shearwater Explorer's Village (or similar)
Day 2
Victoria Falls
A full day of activities to explore! Raft down the Zambezi, one of the world's best white water rapids. There's also a locally guided village tour, where you'll get to know the locals and experience their way of life. This evening we'll finish with a sunset cruise on the Zambezi.

Day 3
Victoria Falls
We start today on foot, to literally ‘walk on the wild side’ with a guided walking safari along the Zambezi’s National Park. This is a unique way to track wildlife on foot while learning about some of the smaller animals – plus plants and just generally anything we come across. Afterwards, we go from foot mode to flight mode with a helicopter ride above the thunderous waters below - the best way to see the falls in all their glory.
