Where Next

Combine the highlights of Africa

Make Zimbabwe part of an African grand tour by taking advantage of direct flights between Victoria Falls and southern Africa’s main travel hubs. Head for South Africa and you can take in all the attractions of Cape Town and the winelands, feast your eyes on the Big 5 in a private Kruger reserve or self-drive your way along the Garden Route. Home to epic game viewing, Botswana and Zambia are just a flight or a short overland transfer away from Victoria Falls and travellers to Zimbabwe can also hop across to Namibia, home to giant sand dunes and haunting desert landscapes.

Botswana

Famous for its elephants, the Chobe River can be experienced on a day trip from Victoria Falls but Botswana is also home to the Okavango Delta, Savuti and Moremi Game Reserve, delivering some of the best game viewing in Africa. Whether you go overland or fly, Botswana is one of the easiest countries to combine with Zimbabwe.

South Africa

Looking for that unbeatable combination? It’s hard to do better than Cape Town, the Kruger and Victoria Falls. You’ll get Table Mountain, Cape Point and wine farms, whale watching and Africa’s best Big 5 viewing plus all the scenic drama of Victoria Falls – the prefect honeymoon itinerary!

Zambia

You can cross the Victoria Falls border on foot to see the waterfall from Zambia but you’ll need to take a flight to explore Zambia’s legendary national parks. It’s worth it: the Lower Zambezi offers game drives, boating and thrilling canoe safaris; the South Luangwa blends its game drives with guided walking safaris, rated among the best on the continent.

Reviews

It was a safari of a lifetime and exceeded all of our expectations!

Our mom grew up in Central and South Africa so we had visited the continent many times. My sister and I wanted to take our teens and husbands to Africa to experience the magic. We had a limited budget but big and specific expectations and by some miracle Walter was able to manage both.

Karina was absolutely instrumental to our safari success.

Our experience with Safari Online was excellent. After becoming very frustrated trying to search for a safari destination on our own, we turned to Karina for help and she was a lifesaver.  We had an amazing safari adventure at the lodge–the experience of a lifetime–and are so grateful for her help. We literally couldn’t have done it without her!

Best trip I have ever been on. Highly recommend.

Would highly recommend. Safari online asked questions when booking and were efficient and knew exactly what we were looking for in terms of accommodation and animals were wanted to see. Gave advice on a few little extras with no pressure, which we did and am very grateful which make trip even more exciting. Would definitely recommend booking with them.

Walter has always been an excellent communicator and has supported us fully

We have been to Africa for 24 of the last 27 years so know a bit about what is involved. Walter has arranged the details for the last couple of years, and has done a superb job. He is always quick to respond and comes up with answers immediately……..no evasive tactics, always head-on!
