Zambia Safari, Victoria Falls & Mozambique Beach

Venture out onto the golden savannahs of the Busanga Plains on captivating game drives, scheduled both at night and throughout the day to ensure you have the best chance to spot a diversity of wildlife, from elusive leopards and owls to lions and elephants. Night game drives showcase the nocturnal wildlife in the region, such as civets and genets, while afternoon game drives guarantee sightings of grazing wildlife like zebras, antelopes and sable. 

The Busanga Plains is a popular birding destination, with nearly 500 species frequenting the area, including the endemic Chaplin's barbet, the majestic crowned crane, stately secretarybirds, predatorial fish eagles, and the endangered grey crowned and wattled cranes. 

Spend your first night at the lodge dining beneath the stars with an unforgettable dinner set on a sampan on the waters of the Zambezi River. An enchanting experience, you'll enjoy indulging in regional cuisine as the Zambian sky transforms before you, fading from hues of purple and orange into darkness.

The following day, you'll visit one of the most spectacular locations on the continent, Victoria Falls. One of the New Seven Wonders of the World, the falls are locally known as 'the Smoke that Thunders' due to mist that forms around this magnificent veil of water, the largest in the world. You'll enjoy a guided tour taking you through the vantage points to view the falls, ensuring you witness the site in all its grandeur.

Next, you'll venture out on an enthralling boat cruise along the Zambezi River during the golden hours, at sunrise or sunset. A wildlife hot-spot, this excursion will see you pass Nile crocodiles, hippos and elephants, as well as the opportunity to view terrestrial wildlife on the plains that fringe the river. 

The crystalline waters surrounding the hotel are teeming with marine life and provide ideal conditions for water activities. On your second day, you can begin venturing out into the water, whether you choose to swim to the nearby island of Magaruque, whose waters contain a pristine reef that attracts a variety of fish species or spend the afternoon exploring the shores on a serene kayaking excursion. Later that afternoon, you'll enjoy a gorgeous picnic organised by the hotel's chefs on the hotel's pristine beachfront.
