Tonight you may choose to join an Optional Experience Boma dinner and interactive drum show.

Feel the freedom. And you certainly will, on a 13 minute helicopter flight over Victoria Falls and the Zambezi River.

Later return to Victoria Falls Safari Lodge for your last night in Zimbabwe.

I felt quite special with the attention given while staying at the River Club. The Safaris were good. The Victoria Falls was pretty hot as we were walking at 11am
I realize the reason but so many handovers to different guides/drivers in one day. Whilst good,the safari and boat cruise guides in Botswana were very quiet and less informative than previous guides we have had.
Trafalgar website was a bit hit and miss prior to trip.Trouble getting in several times and with entering details..Could have maybe had a chat line with your own group prior to trip. Wonderful guide and driver in Capetown. Could have had greet and meet information available from Trafalgar on arrival to hotel. 15 on orange hotel, staff and food was amazing.
A different Trafalgar experience! Once in a life time.

We absolutely loved our time at the River Club. However, we understand the reasoning behind leaving Zambia in 2020. Chobe National Park was amazing. This was a great way to end our African trip.
Wow! Our experience through Kenya and Tanzania was a once-in-a-life time amazing journey. We were a group of 12 traveling in two land cruisers. We especially loved our stay at the Thorn Tree tent camp out in the bush. The roads were bumpy, but well worth the sights in the reserves and National Parks. Our guides provided us with wonderful photo and viewing opportunities. This isn’t a normal Trafalgar trip so prepare yourself for a unique experience of sleeping in comfortable Tents (with bathrooms) and early morning viewings. It’s dusty and bumpy! You will spend 11days (4 -6 hrs daily) in the bush searching for those elusive wildlife pictures. The cultural experiences helps to bring you closer to the country and the people. Place this at the top of your list!
The Chobe river cruise was a disappointment. I’m glad I was able to book other activities. For some reason we were only able to see one side of the falls. I thought we should have been able to see both sides. It wasn’t that much longer.
