On our 3 Day Victoria Falls Tour you have the option of staying at one of three lodges, namely, Insika Lodge, Victoria Falls Safari Lodge or Victoria Falls River Lodge. The best time to visit Victoria Falls varies depends on your interests but in general, a visit to Victoria Falls is special any time of the year, particularly on the Zimbabwe side, which this itinerary focuses on.
The tour allows you to get a good feel of the falls by viewing on foot, as well as a sunset cruise above the falls. This tour is ideal to add to an existing tour you may have, or as a stand-alone tour if you have limited time and want to see the Victoria Falls.
