Optional Tours
Elephantback Safari
Day 10 $150 per person
Opt for an Elephantback Safari excursion at the famed Victoria Falls Private Game Reserve, which teems with wildlife. Upon arrival, learn how the elephant hands, or grooms, care for their animals, and participate in a short training session. Then “saddle up”—high up—on your elephant, and follow ancient game trails lined with flora and fauna. The elephant groom informs about the nature you find along the way, as well as the magnificent, gentle elephant providing your safe transport.
Helicopter ride over Victoria Falls
Day 10 $150 per person
Join us for a flight over Victoria Falls, and appreciate the “smoke that thunders” from a whole new angle. Aboard a four- or six-passenger helicopter, your experienced pilot will treat you to a bird’s-eye view of majestic Victoria Falls, the wide Zambezi River, and the zigzag-shaped gorges below. This is the best way to see such vast, impressive landscapes—as Dr. David Livingstone said himself, the falls are “so lovely they must have been gazed upon by angels in their flight.”
