Our Wildlife Safari Tours
Our wildlife safaris offer a unique and rewarding experience for experienced wildlife watchers as well as beginners. On a typical wildlife safari, you will explore various habitats around Victoria Falls town or in one of the national parks and reserves located nearby. Depending on where you want to go, the wildlife safari can consist of walks, game drives and boat rides.
Our wildlife safaris can last from a few hours to several days. Mostly our wildlife safaris consist of game drives in the major National Parks near Victoria Falls town. We can also take you on walking safaris outside of the reserves where you have a chance to see some mammal species and many birds (no national park entrance fee necessary). However, the best wildlife experience will be inside the national parks. For something different, why try a river safari on the Zambezi River above the falls? Being on the water has the advantage of being able to get close to species such as hippos and crocodiles as well as seeing many riverine birds.
