GORGEOUS GETAWAYS

The word safari originates from the Arabic word “Safar”, meaning “a journey”.

We now use the word to mean an overland journey in the African bush.

We can tailor make any option or destination.

Launch yourself into Africa from Victoria Falls, a spectacular sight of awe-inspiring grandeur on the mighty Zambezi River, a natural border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. Twice as high as Niagara Falls, the water’s sheer force propels a column of spray high into the air, engulfing things in fine mist – giving rise to its   name Mosi-oa Tunya, or ‘The Smoke that Thunders – that perfectly captures the almost mystical atmosphere of this World Heritage Site.
With a variety of accommodation options located on both sides of the river in both countries, separated by an easy-to-cross bridge, Vic Falls is a perfect launch point for onward journeying, with accessible, reliable flight access.
