Capturing the charm of the Victorian era and colonial traditions, our hotel offers a truly unforgettable experience.

Sunset Cruise:

At 3:30 PM, you'll be collected from the hotel reception for a memorable sunset cruise. This is your opportunity to immerse yourself in the sounds of Africa while savoring cocktails and delectable snacks as the sun sets over the mighty Zambezi River. During this two-hour cruise, you may even spot hippos and, if you're fortunate, elephants.

After the sunset cruise our driver will return you to the comfort of the hotel.

DAY 2

Zambian Side Falls Tour:

Commencing at 8:00 AM, our clients will be collected from the hotel reception for their excursion to Victoria Falls on the Zambian side. Upon arrival at the falls entrance, a comprehensive briefing on the tour's itinerary will be provided at the impressive Falls Monumental Structure. The Zambian side tour encompasses notable attractions, including a visit to the David Livingstone Statue and the Second World War Memorial statue. Visitors will then venture across the Knife Bridge to ultimately reach the western cataract. Here, they will revel in the spectacular view of Livingstone Island and the primary falls on the Zambian side.

Zimbabwean Side Falls Tour:

Following the Zambian leg, you will proceed to Zimbabwe after completing the necessary immigration procedures. En route to Zimbabwe, the journey across the Victoria Falls Bridge offers an opportunity to witness bungee jumpers in action. The highlight of the Zimbabwean side tour is undoubtedly the Main Falls, featuring the tallest and most voluminous cascade of water plunging into the gorge. The view is nothing short of breathtaking.

Upon concluding the tour, you will be transported back to the Livingstone hotel in preparation for the upcoming safari game drive and rhino walks.
