Detailed Itinerary

Day 1 Victoria Falls

Victoria Falls is a great base to kick-off a southern African adventure to see some natural wonders and take part in some exciting activities. Arrive before your tour starts and opt to get up close (and wet from the spray) while awing at the immense Victoria Falls, raft the whitewater of the mighty Zambezi, or for the more adventurous, bungee jump with Victoria Falls in view. Bitte vergewissere dich, dass du bis zum Begrüßungstreffen alle erforderlichen Visa für die Reise besorgt hast. Lies dir bitte die Visa-Informationen in den Trip Details durch, damit du weißt, ob du Visa benötigst, und wenn ja, welche. Beachte bitte, dass je nach Nationalität nicht alle Einreisenden in der Lage sein werden, bei der Einreise ein Visum zu erhalten.

Allen, deren Abflug am ersten Tag verspätet ist, empfehlen wir die Buchung einer Vornacht, wenn Sie mehr Zeit damit verbringen möchten, die Victoriafälle zu besichtigen, da die Gruppe am zweiten Tag morgens abreist
