  • Victoria Falls (VFA)

In the middle of the Zambezi River, at the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, a deep rock rift cut the river and formed the spectacular Victoria Falls. This morning you will take a guided walk to get up close to this amazing natural wonder. Meandering through the drizzling rainforest and out onto gorge-edge viewpoints, greeted head-on by the glorious waterfalls with a thundering roar, you will instantly understand why the local tribes nicknamed it Mosi-o-Tunya "The smoke that thunders."

In the late afternoon, hop on a luxurious boat cruising along the mighty Zambezi River to the upstream of the Victoria Falls. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife on the water like elephants, hippos and crocodiles, and end the evening with a beautiful sunset.

Hell's Gate National Park, only about an hour from Nairobi will open your wildlife adventure in Kenya. This tiny park is home to over 103 species of birds including the rare Lammergeyer vultures as well as several kinds of herbivores like klipspringer antelope. You can feel free to get off your car and explore by bicycle.

Afterward, move on to Lake Naivasha. The Crescent Island on the lake surrounded by water is currently only accessible by boat, thus the wildlife of the island roams freely without predators.

Maasai Mara is one of the most important wildlife conservation and wilderness areas in Africa, nourishing a striking population of wildlife, including wildebeest, gazelle, and so on. Those especially keen to witness the Great Migration live can visit during July and August, when millions of grass eaters splash through the Mara River into the Maasai Mara in search of fresh green grass, at the risk of falling prey to the crocodiles waiting in the wings.
