Without a doubt, the Victoria Falls constitute one of the most spectacular wonders of the world, and one of the major attractions in Africa. The local people call it mosi-oa-tunya ("the smoke that forever thunders"). When the missionary and explorer, David Livingstone, saw this majestic waterfall for the first time in the mid-nineteenth century, the experience caused him to write with awe in his journal: "Scenes so lovely must have been gazed upon by angels in their flight." The mighty Zambezi River flows, broad and placid, to the brink of a basalt lip approximately 5,100 ft. wide. It gathers speed in a brief rapid then plunges more than a hundred meters down into the frothy chasm below. The earth trembles and the cloud of spray rising hundreds of meters into the sky, may be seen 30 miles away. The thunder of an incomprehensible weight of water never ceases. This is the world's largest sheet of falling water. Although its fame has spread far and wide, the site has been tastefully preserved in order that its magic may not be spoiled. Many vantage points ensure unobstructed views.

Optional excursions available at an extra charge: river rafting (which must be booked in advance), bungee-jumping, canoeing, "Flight of the Angels" (10 - 15 minute flight over the Falls), helicopter rides

The Chobe National Park covers nearly 6,600 square miles in northern Botswana with habitats ranging from swamp and floodplain to dead lake beds, sandridges and forest. The park can be divided roughly into three areas: the Chobe river area, the Mababe depression ( a dead lake bed) including the Savuti channel and marsh, and the Ngwezumba area with its mopani forests, riparian woodland and pans. The Chobe is best known for its huge herds of up to five hundred elephants, and its buffalo which sometimes congregate in herds of a thousand. An estimated 73,000 elephants make the Chobe National Park their home.

The Chobe River front offers you an excellent opportunity to observe lions, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras and hippos submerging at dawn and emerging at dusk. Also to be found here are most antelope species indigenous to Botswana, including the shy lechwes. Bird life is abundant and in great variety.
