Family Victoria Falls and Safari Adventure
Perfect for teens, this itinerary explores Zimbabwe, a renowned adventurous safari destination. This family holiday stops at the mighty Victoria Falls for hair-raising natural spectacles and soothing sunset cruises followed by close animal encounters in the enormous and unspoilt Hwange National Park. Think out-of-the-box safari; lunches by the waterhole, game spotting from an open-sided railcar and bush walks with guides at the top of their game. Not to mention a dedicated local community helping sustain the thriving wildlife.

Highlights of trip
Flight of the Angels helicopter flight over the Falls
When David Livingstone first saw Victoria Falls, he called it ‘a sight so wonderful that angels must have gazed down on it in flight’. Nowadays, mere mortals can also enjoy a privileged aerial view of one of the world’s greatest natural wonders on a breathtaking helicopter ride, during which you’ll be able to appreciate not just the magnificent waterfall but the sheer scale of the Upper Zambezi and the landscape through which it flows. For the 12-minute trip, inevitably known as the Flight of Angels, you’ll be collected from your hotel for the 5-minute drive to the helipad site, with the plumes of spray from the Falls providing an impressive backdrop. After a short safety briefing, you’ll climb aboard a 4-seater or 6-seater Bell helicopter and, with a whirr of the rotor blades, lift off into the sky for your first bird’s-eye glimpse of ‘the Smoke that Thunders’. The pilot will fly left-hand and right-hand circuits over the waterfall in both directions, giving passengers the best viewing, filming and photographing opportunities, before turning to head upstream over the vast Upper Zambezi for about 4km. From here, you’ll return to the helipad over the Zambezi National Park, keeping a lookout for wildlife below you. For even more of an indulgence, there’s also a 25-minute Zambezi Spectacular option, which includes a loop over the dramatic Batoka Gorge below the Falls.

Ra-Ikane River Cruise
Step back in time to a more gracious era with an indulgent late-afternoon Zambezi cruise on an elegant vintage-style boat. The three vessels in the Ra-Ikane fleet were inspired by the design of David Livingstone’s expedition craft, the Ma-Robert, and feature plenty of gleaming teak and brass. Carrying just 12 to 16 passengers, along with a captain-guide and a waiter, they’re a wonderfully stylish and intimate venue from which to drink in the beauty of the pristine wilderness. You’ll depart from the jetty 3.5km above the Falls and glide quietly up the Zambezi and then down in a circular route, admiring the scenery while the crew keep you supplied with canapės and your choice of drinks. This stretch of the river is broad and shallow, and the captain will skillfully steer you through narrow channels between islands teeming with game, sharing his knowledge of local history and wildlife. The Ra-Ikanes’ small size allows them to go where the larger boats can’t, so you’re all but certain to have close encounters with hippos, crocodiles and elephants, along with a host of other animals and birds, along the way. The grand finale to the 2-hour trip is a dazzling African sunset, with the changing colours of the vast sky reflected in the lake-still water for as far as the eye can see – a truly breathtaking sight. As darkness begins to fall, you’ll return to the jetty for your return transfer to your local hotel.

Day 1
Arrival in Victoria Falls
Arrive at Victoria Falls Airport where a representative will meet you and help you transfer to your hotel featuring interconnecting rooms. The falls are never out of sight or mind whether you’re watching the powerful spray escape the earth like steam or listening to its distant rumble. Your hotel is perfectly positioned for a saunter into town – or even an optional segway tour! But most importantly you’re only a 15-minute walk away from the iconic falls themselves. Head out on a series of walkways to viewpoints with great names such as Rainbow Falls and Danger Point where you can gawp in awe at formidable cascades plunging 100 metres below. Overnight at Ilala Lodge.
Recommended Hotels
The Victoria Falls Hotel
A heritage property, rich with colonial charm and uninterrupted views of the Victoria Falls
Day 2
Victoria Falls
Wake up for a full day of adventure ahead. Teens will no doubt love optional activities such as white-water rafting in the churning rapids (minimum age is 15 years old), ziplining over the forest canopy or freefalling 70 metres into the mouth of a gorge on an adrenaline-pumping rope swing. For something a little tamer, you could enjoy lunch at a local home for insight into the culture – a unique experience. The pièce de résistance for most is a helicopter ride over the falls for unrivalled perspectives and bragworthy Instagram shots. Overnight at Ilala Lodge.

Day 3
Victoria Falls & Hwange National Park
Transfer around two hours to Hwange National Park and the village of Dete where the remarkable Elephant Express, a traditional open-sided railcar, will transport you over the grassland to your remotely located lodge. Trundling along at 25 miles per hour on a colonial-era track you may spot plains game or if you’re lucky, cheetah that often use the tracks as a vantage point. For families, your lodge features a huge, elevated two-bedroom tent complete with two bathtubs, a spacious lounge (with space for a couple of extra beds) and a panoramic deck. Watch the wildlife come to drink at the neighbouring waterhole – there’s no need for televisions - or take a dip in the plunge pool to recover from the journey. Stories by the campfire and dinners alfresco add to the adventurous vibe. Overnight at Bomani Lodge.

Day 4
Hwange National Park
Your lodge offers convenient access to Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe’s largest game reserve with countless activities meaning even teenagers are never short on entertainment. Daily game drives plunge you into Hwange’s vast space alive with compelling wildlife from screeching baboons and big cats to the record high numbers of elephants – especially engrossing when seen on a walking safari (minimum age is 13 years old). Zimbabwe’s walking guides are often cited as the best in the business due to the extensive training which can take approximately four years to complete. This means you and your brood are in the safest hands when tracking animals on foot and investigating nature up close. If you’d rather see them without the hair-raising experience, Bomani have built a number of discreet elephant hides right next to active waterholes bringing you only steps away from all the action. Overnight at Bomani Tented Camp.
Recommended Hotel
Day 5
Hwange National Park
On your last day in the bush, you may want to delve deeper into the park’s inner workings for greater context. Budding conservationists should not miss meeting Hwange’s two white rhinos, or rather the local celebrities, and a success story in sustainability. Not only can you enjoy some riveting safari experiences but activities that expose your clan to the local community. The 'pump run' is one such optional activity which can involve delivering supplies to pump attendants who spend hours manning the waterholes. A fun and humbling day out with a picnic lunch to restore you. Overnight at Bomani Tented Camp
Recommended Hotel
Day 6
Hwange National Park & Victoria Falls
Transfer back to Victoria Falls where you can take the rest of the day to recalibrate and bunk down in a garden-level, ample-sized Deluxe Suite. This time, your hotel is located a little further out of town for extra serenity along the Zambezi River although there’s a ten-minute shuttle to take guests to and from the falls. After early wake up calls and days in the bush, you may feel like some downtime by the swimming pool watching the warthogs wander by. If you missed one of the adventurous optional activities the first time around, the rapids and gorges are only a transfer away – perhaps one for the teens. Adults may choose this moment to enquire about a private candle-lit dinner or a massage to knead out any lingering tension. Overnight at The Palm River Hotel.

Palm River Hotel offers the best of both worlds, a picturesque setting on the banks of the Zambezi yet just a few kilometres from Victoria Falls and town.
Day 7
Victoria Falls
Spend your final day as you please. In the evening as the amber light recedes, enjoy a river cruise en famille drifting you around the forested islands perhaps spotting snorting hippo, grazing zebra and elephants plodding through the greenery. Your captain has a wealth of wildlife knowledge which sets this boat ride apart from the rest. Sipping a gin and tonic while nibbling on canapés with the sun on the cusp of the water, a sunset cruise couldn’t feel more valedictory. Overnight at The Palm River Hotel.
