FROM PRICE: $ 4245

Victoria Falls Zambian side, Chobe NP and Savute - 10 days/9 nights

Prices are guidelines only, mail us for an exact quotation.

This excellent trip combines three of The Big Ones to visit and is highly recommended by us as one of our choice safaris. Victoria Falls is so well-known and combines very well with the huge elephant herds of Chobe National Park in Botswana. Combine this with the big game herds and predators found in the Savuti area rounding off this excellent traditional safari. The safari includes flights from Johannesburg to Victoria Falls and returning to Johannesburg at the end of the trip.

Where is it?

The visit to Victoria Falls takes place on the Zambian side of the river (although we can change this to the Zimbabwe side if you prefer). Passing through the Kazangula Border Post where 4 countries meet Zimbabwe, Botswana, Zambia and Namibia, the safari takes you to a private concession in Chobe National Park and then to another private concession in the Savute - area of choice for film makers.

What is the best time of year to go?

As with many African safari destinations the best time for big game viewing is during the drier, winter months (July, August, and September). For bird watchers, November to March is without doubt the best period.

The champagne months of May and June are delightful; just before the main rush of tourists begins, with clear skies and lingering green bush, and fat, well-fed animals at the end of the rainy season.

How to get there

We will take care of all your arrangments once you land at Johannesburg airport although if you prefer to get yourself to Victoria Falls for the start, we can work around your plans. If you'd like us to arrange your international flights to Africa, we can assist here to.

Tips and Notes

The Savuti channel has a bizarre history of drying up during good rains and having flood levels at other times. The beauty of this area, created by the silhouettes of the many dead trees which relied on sustenance from the water supply of past years, combined with the congregations of old bull elephants, diversity of animals and abundance of predators makes Savuti a highlight destination for any safari traveler to Botswana.

It’s also a great area for Lion, and Spotted Hyena and Cheetah are also present.

Birdlife is prolific throughout this safari.
