You are absorbed by the melody of the African Music as you slide out of Victoria Falls Airport. The dry African savannah smoke hits you with uncertainty; the dancers confront you with the bright African smiles.That’s when it dawns on you that; you are deep in the heart of Africa. Well come to Victoria Falls Fly out of Victoria Falls Soon as you land in Victoria falls a bus will be waiting to pick you up to your hotel, lodge, Camp site or self catering lodges in the middle of the national park. Hotel ranges from 3 star to 5 star depending on what you want to choose. So often wildlife wonders around within eye sight, there could be some random close encounters with pumbas (warthogs) and baboons. Unpack your bags, wind back wonder around to the viewing platform or just relax.
You can be occupied with Tour of the Falls in the morning and the world famous booze cruise above the Falls. One can even take a drive to the local townships. There are plenty of local treats that will keep everyone entertained.

White Water rafting
It is a slow start. Could be in anticipation or just a blow from the previous night’s Booze cruise. After a short drive you will negotiate your way to the bottom of the Batoka George and embark into the rafts.
Intensity and numbers of rapids decrease as you move further from Victoria Falls. Start with breakfast, load all your gear into the rafts and paddle down and enjoy some alcoholic beverages as you watch the river disappear downstream and the sun sinking into the horizon. Most of the the camps are on beautiful sand beaches

By size, this is the third largest park of the country, after the Central Kalahari Game Reserve and the Gemsbok National Park, and is the most diverse. This is also the country's first national park The Serondela area (or Chobe riverfront), situated in the extreme Northeast of the park, has as main geographical features lush plains and dense teak forests. The Chobe River, which flows along the Northeastern border of the park, is a drinking spot for elephants and buffaloes at dry season. The famous bee-eater is also spotted here, along the river. This is probably the most visited park section, partly because of its proximity to the Victoria Falls. The town of Kasane, situated at the river, is the most important town of the region and serves as northern entrance to the park.
