Victoria Falls International Airport in Zimbabwe is just 21 kilometers (approximately 13 miles) from the town of Victoria Falls, where we will begin and end our Botswana safari tour. Those already on tour with us will meet up here with other guests who will join us for this part of the excursion. We will spend the first night at the four-star Cresta Mowana Safari Lodge on the Chobe River near its convergence with the Zambezi River. The lodge overlooks the Namibian floodplain where wildlife converges. Chobe Game Reserve is nearby. We move to the Chobe National Forest and Game Preserve for days two to five of our Botswana safari tour. On the sixth day we return to the Victoria Falls area where we will stay overnight at the four-star Victoria Falls Safari Lodge in Zimbabwe near the Zambezi National Park, which is located on the north bank of the Zambezi River in Zambia. Victoria Falls, also known as Victoria Falls. with its traditional name of Mosi-oa-Tunya or the smoke that thunders, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site described as the largest falling curtain of water in the world. Just over a mile wide, the falls discharge more than 500 million gallons of water per minute when the Zambezi River is in full flood between February and May. During the dry months, the waterfalls become braided channels discharging about......half of paper...and pangolin. The Nogatsaa and Tchinga areas in the northern region of the park are less traveled, hot and dry. During the rainy season, natural clay basins fill with water that remains in the dry season. Some facts about our tour Hotels and accommodations, meals and ground transportation are part of the package for our Botswana and Victory Falls tour.
