Victoria Falls and Chobe National Park 2025

Extend your African adventure by joining us for an exciting 5-day extension to one of the world’s largest waterfalls and a visit the breathtaking Chobe National Park in Botswana
17-21 Jun | 5 days | 2 190 EUR

With a height of 108 meters, a combined width of 1700 meters, and picturesque rain forest backdrop, Victoria Falls is an impressive place to spend four days topping off your African adventure.

In the Bantu language, the falls are called “mosi-oa-tunya,” which means "the smoke that thunders," and that is a perfect representation of Victora Falls - a huge puff of "smoke" accompanied by the thunderous sound of the water.

Also we will visit the breathtaking Chobe National Park in Botswana on a full day tour.
