After settling in, you head straight to the river for your Victoria Falls River Safari sunset cruise. This is not just a boat ride—it’s one of the best introductions to Zambia’s wildlife and scenery:
-
Watch elephants drinking from the banks

This first evening sets the perfect tone for the days ahead: peaceful, immersive, and unforgettable.
Day 2
Rhino Tracking + Victoria Falls + Helicopter Flight
This is the most action-packed day of the trip—and one that guests consistently describe as “once in a lifetime.”
Rhino Tracking in Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park
You begin at sunrise with a guided rhino tracking expedition. Walking through the bush with a professional wildlife scout gives you a deep connection to the environment. You will learn how to read tracks, understand animal behavior, and safely observe these critically important animals.
Few experiences in Africa are as emotional as standing a safe distance from a wild rhino, knowing how much effort goes into their protection.
Guided Victoria Falls Tour
After returning to the lodge for a break, the next major highlight awaits: a complete guided tour of Victoria Falls, including key vantage points, rainforest walkways, and photo stops.
Your Zamsato guide helps you understand:
-
The geological forces that created the falls
-
The cultural significance of Mosi-oa-Tunya
-
How the water levels change throughout the year
-
Where to capture the best photographs
This is not a quick walk; it is a deep, meaningful experience of one of the seven natural wonders of the world.
Helicopter Flight
For guests who want the ultimate perspective, a helicopter flight over Victoria Falls is added to this day.
This is one of the most dramatic aerial experiences you can have anywhere—perfect for photographers or anyone wanting an iconic memory.
