Fly from Johannesburg to Livingstone where you will be met and transferred to the Royal Livingstone Hotel 5 minutes away. Nestled in the forested banks of the Zambezi River and a few paces away from the mighty Victoria Falls The expanse and depth of the Victoria Falls are awe-inspiring, and rising above is the 'Smoke that thunders' or the rolling mist generated by the force of the plummeting water.
Two story clusters of air-conditioned, en-suite rooms and suites, trace the river bank, each with a private balcony from which to survey the wildlife activity on the banks of the river. With each cluster consisting of ten en-suites, the décor of the Royal Livingstone Hotel evokes memories of a bygone era. High tea on the terrace, an abundance of roses (Zambia is one of the largest exporters of roses), cream linen and lots of silverware, speak of colonial indulgence.
There are plenty of activities on offer at the Falls, such as sunset cruises, jet boating, helicopter or microlight flips over the Falls, Livingstone Island tours.
After breakfast you are transferred to the airport and flown to the Savute where you stay at Savute Elephant Camp.
As it's name suggests, Savute Elephant Camp is known for the herds of elephants that can be spotted roaming its plains But other large animals also gather here especially now that the intermittent Savute Channel has started flowing through Chobe National Park once again after an absence of nearly 30 years.
The luxury accommodation in Savute Elephant Camp offers an oasis amid the beautiful plain. All the luxury tents are housed on raised wooden platforms, offering great views, and shaded by a traditional African thatch roof. The large private decks are furnished with easy chairs and a hammock, ideal for viewing wildlife, or for enjoying a private dinner in complete privacy.
After your morning game activity and breakfast you are met by your pilot for the short scenic flight to Eagle Island Camp in the Okavango Delta. Situated on the island of Xaxaba and surrounded by Illala Palms, the camp overlooks a surrounding lagoon fed by the tranquil waterways on the Delta. This is an area of striking natural beauty.
