Trip breakdown
Flow
Scheduled flight from Nairobi to a Masai Mara airstrip. Afternoon game drive on arrival.
Full day in the reserve with a picnic lunch, positioned near the Mara River crossing points at Serena and Lookout — from July to October the herds mass on the banks before plunging through crocodile-held water, and the guide's judgement about where and when to wait is what makes or breaks the day.
Second full reserve day — the Mara Triangle across the river, the Oloololo escarpment and the resident lion prides. Optional dawn hot-air balloon flight with a champagne breakfast.
Transfer to a private conservancy bordering the reserve — Olare Motorogi, Naboisho or Mara North. Afternoon game drive with off-road access and far fewer vehicles per sighting than the national reserve permits.
Full conservancy day — a dawn game drive, a guided walking safari with a Maasai guide, an afternoon drive and a night drive, all of which are prohibited inside the national reserve. Visit the conservancy's community and lease programme, which pays Maasai landowners directly for conservation.
Final dawn game drive, then the flight back to Nairobi.
Before you go
February has maximum water flow: The falls are at their most powerful with incredible spray (the "smoke that thunders"). Views may be obscured by mist, but the experience is dramatic. Temperatures are warm (25-30°C) with occasional rain.
Yes, bridge tours are available including: Historical tours explaining construction, engineering tours, and bridge walks. Some include bungee jumping or bridge swinging. Tours typically cost $15-$30 and require booking in advance. Safety equipment is provided.
The bridge was built from both sides simultaneously, meeting perfectly in the middle. Construction took 14 months (1904-1905) using steel shipped from England. The arch was assembled on falsework and then dropped into place - a remarkable engineering feat for its time.
Victoria Falls Bridge was completed in 1905 as part of Cecil Rhodes' Cape to Cairo railway vision. It spans 198 meters across the Zambezi Gorge, 128 meters above the river. Designed by Sir Ralph Freeman, it's a steel arch bridge used for rail, road, and foot traffic.
Zimbabwe side weather: Similar to Zambia but slightly hotter in summer. January-March: 25-30°C with rain. April-June: 15-25°C, dry. July-September: 10-25°C, cool nights. October-December: 25-35°C, becoming rainy. The microclimate near the falls is always humid.
It depends: Zimbabwe has more viewpoints and better overall views. Zambia offers unique experiences like Devil's Pool and closer waterfall access. Most visitors recommend seeing both sides if possible. Zimbabwe is better for first-time visitors wanting comprehensive views.
