Day 1 Johannesburg/ Victoria Falls
Arrive at Johannesburg International Airport, where our representative will meet you and assist you with checking in for your flight to Victoria Falls Airport in Zimbabwe. At Victoria Falls Airport, you will purchase a visa for Zimbabwe, where after our representative will meet you and transfer you to Batonka Guest Lodge, 20 minutes’ drive away.
Batonka Guest Lodge is set in ''suburban'' Victoria Falls. It is just 2.2 kilometres from the Victoria Falls Rainforest entrance and 1 kilometre from the town centre. The Lodge is situated in the quiet residential suburb of Victoria Falls town.
Batonka is set in tranquil grounds and offers 22 rooms, each of which is en suit, and has a private balcony, all set on ground level and overlooking a delightful garden. Rooms are all equipped with TV, Wi-Fi, universal chargers and a tea/coffee station. Accommodation is arranged in two blocks of 6 rooms each and two blocks of 5 rooms each. The room units have been carefully positioned around the property to give a combination of maximum privacy and views of the garden.
Day 2 Victoria Falls
Spend the day exploring the Falls, or partaking of some of the many activities available in Victoria Falls, from adrenalin excursions to sedate game-viewing alternatives.
Batonka Guest Lodge management are able to book all of your Victoria Falls activities upon arrival, or you may wish to select some activities which we can book for you.
The Lodge offers a fast fibre Wi-Fi connection covering all rooms and areas of the lodge which is available to guests free of charge.
Day 3 Chobe River
After breakfast, you will be collected from Batonka Lodge, and driven across the border, into Botswana and onward to Bakwena Lodge, a drive taking approximately one hour.
Bakwena Lodge lies on the banks of the Chobe River, just 1.5km from the spot where Zambia, Zimbabwe, Namibia and Botswana converge.
Day 4 Chobe River
Activities at Bakwena Lodge mainly take the form of game drives and boat cruises, although these may be substituted for a guided bird walk at the Seboba Recreational Park, a Caracal World of Wildlife Centre visit, or Fishing (tackle included).
Chobe is home to Africa’s largest elephant population with a daily migration of these magnificent pachyderms from their foraging grounds in the Teak forests, to the mighty Chobe to quench their thirst.
Game Drives: Generally a three hour activity inside the Chobe National Park, early morning offers the best chance to spot some of the shyer big cats, however all times of the day offer unique experiences!
Boat Cruises: Definitely the most sedate method of game viewing. The Chobe River has one of the highest concentrations of bird species in the world, from the elusive Finfoot to the regal African Fish eagle.
Bird watching: By boat, on foot or from the comfort of your own deck; there is a wide variety of species to see including: trumpeter hornbills, crested barbets, weavers, Bishop Birds, the pin tailed whydah, collared palm thrush and African fin foot.
Fishing: The Chobe and Zambezi river systems are home to arguably the best fighting fish in the world (pound for pound) – the mighty Tiger fish. The river systems are also home to a number of other worthy angling species, including catfish, pike and Tilapia species.
Guided Bicycle Tours & Village Walks: These are complimentary.
Day 5 Kasane Airport
