Accommodation as per tier; all meals; house drinks at camp (except premium cellar); twice-daily activities with a licensed guide; park, concession and conservation fees; road/air transfers; laundry at camp; emergency medical evacuation cover.

Pace and grading: Easy to moderate. Mokoro is stable but low to the water; walking safaris require basic fitness.
Ideal for: Couples, honeymooners, first-time Delta visitors, birders, anyone wanting the iconic mokoro photograph.
Accommodation tiers: COMFORT: quality tented camps on shared activities. LUXURY: premium concession camps, all-inclusive, private vehicle. ULTRA: exclusive-use villas, private chef and guide, helicopter transfers on request.
Light-aircraft charter sectors, quoted separately; International airfare; visas and border fees; travel and medical insurance; gratuities; premium cellar wines and champagne; balloon safaris and helicopter flips unless stated; spa treatments; excess-baggage charges above the 15 kg soft-bag light-aircraft limit; personal purchases.
Flow
Itinerary
Fly Maun into the inner Okavango Delta by light aircraft, the flight itself, over channels, hippo trails and floating islands, is one of the great scenic transfers in Africa. Transfer to a water camp. Afternoon mokoro (dugout canoe) excursion, poled by a local guide through papyrus channels at eye level with reed frogs and water lilies.
Full day in the Delta, a morning walking safari on a palm island with an armed guide, tracking on foot among elephant and red lechwe; boat cruise in the afternoon along the permanent channels for sitatunga, Pel's fishing owl and malachite kingfisher.
Second full day, a dawn mokoro session and a longer motorboat exploration to a distant island, with a bush lunch and an afternoon game drive if the camp has a dry-land concession.
Morning mokoro or walk, brunch, then light-aircraft flight to Maun for onward connections.
Before you go
Frequently asked questions
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.
