Guests can head out on dawn, daytime, and sunset cruises, all aboard the private boat! Sundowners and snacks are provided, and you can enjoy wildlife watching, island picnic, and even excursions up the river, to visit the local village.
This activity can be included in a river cruise too. It’s offered on a catch-and-release basis, and anglers can fish for the likes of tiger fish and bream.
The farmhouse’s grounds are full of beautiful birdlife. Guests interested in birdspotting in other areas can explore Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park and Livingstone Sewage Ponds in the company of an expert guide!
Fantastic for culture enthusiasts, walks from the farmhouse involve being shown around the local village by the farmhouse’s own staff. And the costs you pay are donated to the village headmen, for the benefit of their communities.
Tours of Livingstone Town are possible, taking in Maramba Market and a number of museums.
This type of excursion is available during the morning and the afternoon. A knowledgeable guide leads guests through the beautiful rainforest, passing on fascinating information about the world’s largest waterfall and happily answering any questions. A must-do!
Something for adrenaline junkies! Vic Falls boasts the world’s wildest white water, making rafting on the River Zambezi a really thrilling experience.
For breathtaking vistas over the Falls from the air, why not hop on board a helicopter? You’ll enjoy several loops and, if you wish, a prolonged journey farther upstream to see more of the Zambezi river.
