7 night Birding Safari through the KAZA Region (Victoria Falls & The Caprivi Strip)

7 nights

Victoria Falls Hotel

One of the world’s Classic five-star hotels commands prime location overlooking Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, an acclaimed Natural Wonder of the World. A proud member of Leading Hotels of the World, the Edwardian-style hotel, built in 1904, was splendidly redecorated in 2013 to combine its traditional majesty with modern sophistication. For more than 110 years The Victoria Falls Hotel has been a luxury icon in Africa.

Masuwe Lodge

Originally opened in 1992 Masuwe was the flagship lodge of Landela Safaris and one of the first bush lodges at the Falls. For the last 15 years Masuwe has been either leased to other safari operators or closed and attended by care-takers. In May 2017 Masuwe Lodge has re-opened after a total re-build and re-furbish. We have taken it right back to the skeleton … and then some! New pathways link the rooms through the old and established gardens; the glitter stone of the original swimming pool again sparkles in the sun-light; old decks have been replaced as have the old green safari tents. Masuwe Lodge is a dream safari destination – it combines bush and wildlife with the Zambezi River. It combines all-inclusive hospitality with the freedom of exploring the local craft markets. Imagine tackling white water rafting or an evening sun-downer cruise on the Zambezi River, imagine shopping in the curio stores by day but, each evening returning to the sounds, smells, tastes and natural setting that are – life on safari.

The Wallow

The Wallow Lodge is situated in a private game reserve, peacefully nestled in the heart of the Victoria Falls National Park. The tented camp is set along the banks of the Masuwe River, surrounded by 4,500 acres of wilderness that stretches into the horizon, where a cloud of mist from the ‘Mosi-Au-Tunya’ commands the skyline. Victoria Falls is a short twenty-minute transfer from the lodge, giving guests the freedom to tailor-make their experience and find a balance between the exclusivity of the bush and the excitement of Africa’s Adventure Capital.

Old Drift Lodge

Upstream of the iconic Victoria Falls, on the banks of the Zambezi River, lies Old Drift Lodge. The lodge boasts luxury accommodation overlooking the pristine Zambezi National Park, a mere 7 kilometers from the mighty Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. Old Drift Lodge is nestled within a wild paradise frequented by elephant, buffalo, herds of sable, eland, zebra, giraffe, kudu, waterbuck and impala.

Dusty Road

Sarah Lilford founded Dusty Road, a Zimbabwean catering company, in 1998. From day one, it epitomised Sarah’s passion for fresh, seasonal food and her sunny, affable personality shone through as she produced a pantry range of pickles, preserves, jams, chutneys, oils, vinegars and confectionary. After having studied cookery overseas, Sarah travelled around the world and initially, her food reflected vastly different gastronomic influences: Asian, Mediterranean, south American and European, and she honed her skills working in bucket-list places: a ski resort in Switzerland, a yacht in the Mediterranean, Australian cattle stations and Kiwi farms, Scottish hunting lodges and African luxury tented camps. She blended those flavours with her own flair which stemmed from her upbringing on a Zimbabwean commercial farm, and revealed a unique take on food which proved vastly popular with those from all walks of life.

Sunset Cruise + The Eatery Dinner (Combo)

Combining two of our most popular offerings, The Eatery Dinner & Cruise extends your time on the Zambezi River. Commencing with a magical Sunset Cruise on our flagship Zambezi Explorer, meander through the watery wilderness, passing small river islands and lush vegetation with the spray of the Victoria Falls in the background. Once the sun has set and as the skies darken, you’ll head back to the Pure Africa Waterfront for a seamless continuation to your delicious al fresco dinner at The Eatery. One experience that allows you to spend the whole evening and into the night, with us. After all, why choose one when you can have both.

Look Out Cafe

The Wild Horizons Lookout Café is an iconic restaurant in Victoria Falls where casual dining is a decadent affair. Menus range from cocktails and canapes to diverse meal options for seated dinners. Imported wine from South African vineyards and flavours foraged from nature make the ‘place on a plate’ sentiment a reality. Delicious food, staggering views and exceptional service make the Lookout Café a must-try place to eat out in Victoria Falls.

Africa at its best

19 DAYS

Safari adventures to the highlights of three countries: Sossusvlei, Okavango Delta and Zambezi

You glide almost silently in a mokoro through a labyrinth of water arms. “Tchzrrr-tchzrr!” – shrills the call of a shrike, which warns the other animals of your dugout. Joyce, your Bayei guide, stops punting and points to a tiny reed frog, well camouflaged, bobbing on a papyrus stalk. How she manages to spot such a fingernail-sized dwarf will probably remain her secret forever. But that’s how it’s been all morning… Lechwe antelopes under Ilala palms; jacanas on lily pads; Hippos, always breaking new waterways in the man-high reeds. Joyce knows the Okavango Delta like the back of her hand, this green island of life in the middle of the Kalahari.

Sunrise Cruise on Zambezi River

The serene ambience that plays out on the river in the early morning hours is magical, and our Sunrise Cruise with Continental Breakfast affords a perfect opportunity to soak up the setting. Marvel at the mirror-like Zambezi as you drift and seek out animals emerging into the new day, all the while enjoying the warmth of the rising sun. Our Continental Breakfast of seasonal fruit, muesli with homemade granola, croissants and cheeses is prepared on board and served with freshly brewed coffee. This cruise is especially rewarding for bird enthusiasts with our captains well versed in identifying the resident varieties.

Built of thatch and timber, the lodge rises several levels, giving the impression of a vast open-plan tree house, with the central area featuring the award-winning MaKuwa-Kuwa Restaurant, the famous Buffalo Bar, a two-tiered swimming pool and a fitness centre.

Dinner Cruise on Zambezi River

Our Dinner Cruise offers everything and more. Not only the magical colours of the Zambezi River at dusk but a truly unique four-course dinner served as you savour the splendour of the setting sun. Ideal for food and nature lovers wanting it all. Embark from the Pure Africa Waterfront and head off into the evening. After your favourite drink is poured, you’ll be ushered to your set table where a delectable series of dishes freshly prepared on the boat and paired to premium drinks are served.
