Drinks in the two most idyllic locations on the planet! |
|
| |
  While we are in Livingstone, we'll have drinks on Livingstone Island, in the middle of the Victoria Falls, Zambezi River. Then, 10 days later, we'll again have drinks on the Zambezi River, but in a very different setting... right in the middle of the river, with wet feet! |

Riversurfing
|
|
| |
 The
world’s first riversurfing operation was setup in Queenstown,
by Serious Fun’s owner, Jon Imhoof. Later, in 1996 Jon ventured
to Africa and found the ultimate riversurfing river in the world
– the Zambezi. It is to riversurfers, what Hawaii is to surfers.
With numerous standing waves, and large rapids, you can learn to
surf and run Class V rapids! |

|
| Rafting
|
 The
Zambezi River is widely acclaimed as the wildest one-day whitewater
run in the World. With rapids like “Stairway to Heaven”,
“Star Trek”, and “Overland Truck Eater” the
Zambezi is sure to test even the most hardened adventurer. The Zambezi
is a Class V river and is recognized by rafting and kayaking enthusiasts
alike as one of the top ten paddling rivers on the planet.

| Tiger Fishing |
 There simply is no better fishing than TIGER fishing! The tiger fish in Africa are in the piranha family and are some of the best sport fish on the planet. They are carnivores and have huge teeth, so don't bother trying to catch them without a wire trace! We'll get plenty of time to fish for 'tigers' when at Sausage Tree Camp and everyone is guaranteed a fish as they are certainly plenty full! |
|
| Game
Walks |
 There
is no better way to get “up close and personal” with
the African bush than walking amongst the wildlife in a National
Park. Accompanied by an armed Guide, you can walk through the National
Park, observing the wildlife and learning about the finer points
of the bush and its inhabitants. The Living Waters of the Zambezi
trip will enable you to do numerous walks in Kafue National Park,
the largest and possibly most untouched National Park in Zambia.

|
| Canoeing |
 Upper
Zambezi canoe trips are the perfect activity for those who want
to experience the tranquility of the Zambezi River as they paddle
downstream with the current in canoes. The trips begin approximately
25 km upstream from Victoria Falls and give endless opportunities
to view wildlife both on the shores and in the water. |
|
| Game
Drives |
 Game
drives are offered throughout Africa, and from Livingstone, there
are several national parks within a short drives distance. Each
park is unique and offers different sightings. The Mosi oa Tunya
National Park right outside Livingstone has the last remaining white
rhino in Zambia. |

| Livingstone
Island Lunch |
 The
most spectacular lunch spot on the planet - Livingstone Island is
located in the middle of the 1 mile wide Victoria Falls. We’ll
take a boat out to the island, where a three course lunch with wine,
champagne and beer will be waiting. Our table will be situated near
the edge of Victoria Falls, where the water plummets 100 meters
into the Batoka Gorge. After lunch, we can take a swim to cool off
in the “Devil’s Armchair” – a safe swimming
pool right on the edge of the Falls! |
|
| Boat
Cruise |
 The
Upper Zambezi River has a character all of its own. It is very wide
(approx 1-1.5 miles) and is scattered with rocky outcrops and islands.
The vegetation is very lush and tropical, making these islands the
ideal homes for many species of wildlife. We will take a boat cruise
on the River to explore some of the islands and their inhabitants.
You can expect to see elephants, hippos, crocodiles and many other
varieties of monkey and antelope. |
|
| Chief
Mukuni’s Lampasa Palace & Mukuni Village |
 Here we will witness true village life and learn the ancient customs
and beliefs of these people still living as their ancestors did
hundreds of years before. If available, Chief Mukuni will welcome
us into his Palace and talk to us about their culture. We will also
visit the Royal Graveyard, the ancient Royal Drums and stand under
the tree where David Livingstone first met the local Chief. |
