Victoria Falls
Luxury accommodation, fine gastronomy and high-thrill Victoria Falls and Zambezi adventures are some of the attractions to look forward to. With our scenic Flight of the Angels, you'll feel like the first pioneers flying over Africa! End your excursion with a sumptuous champagne picnic out on the Zambezi river, one of the oldest rivers on earth. See herds of Elephant as they majestically wade their way through the ancient channels. Stroll through old markets and across the legendary bridge, remnant of the Cape to Cairo railway scheme.
IN THE LATE 19TH CENTURY, BRITAIN ENVISIONED A CONTINUOUS 'CAPE TO CAIRO' RAILWAY, THAT FORMED THE ICONIC VICTORIA FALLS BRIDGE ACROSS THE ZAMBEZI RIVER IN 1904. EVERY SINGLE RAIL, SLEEPER, AND LOCOMOTIVE HAD TO BE IMPORTED FROM GREAT BRITAIN BY SEA, UNLOADED AT AFRICAN PORTS, AND LAID MANUALLY ACROSS THE CONTINENT.
Flight of the Angels
On your Signature Guided Safaris® touring, your Private Guide will take you right up to the Falls as well as help you board a spectacular Flight of the Angels over the falls. Though the skies may be a brilliant blue, the sheer power of the spray often veils the view up close, making a helicopter ride one of the best ways to fully grasp and feel the wonder of this natural masterpiece at its most majestic. Later in the afternoon tea rooms of Victoria Falls town you’ll enjoy a decadent spread of dainty cakes, colorful pastries, fresh fruit tarts and savory tea sandwiches. An indulgent experience that transports one to a bygone Victorian-era Africa.
EXPLORERS STILL KEEP THIS SAFARI CUSTOM AT THE FALLS — SILVER GLINTING UNDER HIGH TEAROOM CEILINGS WHILE THE SPRAY DRIFTS BEYOND THE LAWN. FLUTED POTS, A TIERED STAND OF FINGER SANDWICHES, SCONES, AND SMALL PATISSERIE, PALE ROSES CUT FOR THE TABLE, AND CHAMPAGNE POURED IN CRYSTAL FLUTES. A SIMPLE CARD BY THE VASE WHERE GUIDED SAFARIS® HAS KEPT YOUR SEAT.

Exceptional wildlife
Given the remoteness of the location and the prolific presence of wildlife, high-thrill activities bring you face to face with dominant prides of lion, elusive leopards and a plethora of predators-and-prey in action. Far away from the crowded public areas of Chobe and Savuti, our private Botswana concessions are exclusive to our guests providing great opportunities to spot excellent numbers of wildlife in a tranquil setting.
The vast, open savannah landscape here is unique from the islands of Okavango providing a good contrast of Botswana.

Eridanus — the celestial river. The longest river of stars in the sky, it winds out of Orion's foot and meanders south, falling star by star to brilliant Achernar, “the end of the river.” Botswana knows this river well. Like the Okavango beneath it, Eridanus never finds the sea — it simply ends in radiance, deep in a desert of stars.
