This holiday is no longer available — but we can help you find something else.
Feeling the full force of nature as rainbows form in the gathering mists above Victoria Falls. Drinking sundowners as bathing buffalo and skittish antelope visit the waterhole of your luxury safari lodge. Flying in a light aircraft above the pristine waterways of Chobe National Park, spotting herds of elephant and pods of hippo.
Following in Doctor Livingstone’s footsteps, we have some pretty big explorer shoes to fill. We manage it by combining two of the world’s greatest natural wonders - Victoria Falls and Chobe National Park. Exploring by air, boat and 4WD, we get closer to nature - cruising along the banks of the Zambezi past bathing elephants, viewing herds of giraffe from the skies, and criss-crossing savannahs in search of the Big Five. If you’re looking for wildlife, waterfalls and wonders, then this 13-day Botswana and Zimbabwe adventure is just what the doctor ordered.

Itinerary
- 1
Victoria Falls
Join your tour group at the lodge, overlooking Zambezi National Park. Grab a drink on the deck as dusk draws in, and wait for the wildlife come to you. Voted as one of the ‘Great Bars of the World’, the bar overlooks a natural waterhole, whose nightly patrons include thirsty elephant, buffalo and kudu.
- 2
Victoria Falls
We start on a high with a day at Victoria Falls - one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. Discovered by Livingstone in 1855, the pre-colonial name of ‘Mosi-oa-Tunya' (the smoke that thunders) perfectly describes this force of nature. A mile-wide curtain of water free-falls down the rockface for almost a quarter of a mile, causing mists that can be seen from up to 12 miles away. After a guided walk stopping at different viewpoints around the falls, we take to the water for a sundowner cruise along the Zambezi River. The calm before the cascade, the water at the top of the falls is slow and meandering, with hippo, crocodile, elephant, and giraffe coming to the water’s edge to drink.
- 3
Mpisi Village
Today we visit Mpisi, a local rural village near Victoria Falls, where we get an insight into traditional life - learning about indigenous customs, generations-old farming methods, medicine, and healing. The afternoon is at leisure, back at the lodge.
- 4
Kasane
Crossing the border into Botswana, we arrive at Kasane - the gateway for our Chobe National Park tour. Our home for the next seven nights is located on the tranquil banks of the Chobe River. With monkeys, kudu, and countless species of birds on our doorstep, it’s the perfect base to relax and watch the wildlife from the riverbanks after a day exploring the park.
- 5
Chobe National Park
Up with the birdsong, this morning we cruise along the river to spot yawning pods of hippo, basking crocodile, and herds of bathing elephant. A paradise for birdwatchers, Chobe is home to more than 450 species - including heron, stork, jacana,s and bee-eaters. Look out for small oxpeckers as they hitch a ride and a free meal on the back of thick-skinned hippos.

Chobe National Park
We’ve viewed Chobe’s wildlife from land and water, so today we take to the skies. Following the course of the Chobe River in a light aircraft, we get a unique perspective of Chobe’s waterlogged landscapes. Like ink on litmus paper, the dotted islands and tributaries spread out beneath us, with herds of elephant, giraffe, and buffalo visible from up high.

Chobe National Park
Back down to earth, today we get deeper into the national park. A river cruise promises further sightings of elephant, hippo, and watchful birds on the riverbanks, while a 4WD safari holds the possibility of more big game - including lion, cheetah, zebra, giraffe, leopard, sable, and wildebeest.

Chobe National Park
We’ve been living on the wild side all week, so today is free to take stock, relax, and recharge. Spend the day by the pool, watch the world go by from the riverbanks, and reflect on our favourite moments with new friends.

Chobe National Park
Early this morning, we take our final game drive, relaxing into the sights and sounds of the savannah, now we’ve encountered much of the wildlife we came to see. This afternoon, there’s the option to take a boat trip or a fishing trip from the lodge.

Travel further when you're not travelling alone
Our Social Getaways are small-group holidays designed especially for over-60s Australians who want the freedom of a great trip without the work of planning every detail. A Travel at 60 host travels with the group, the operator handles the logistics, and you get to focus on the bit that matters — the people, the places, and the stories you'll bring home.
Open to solo travellers too. Many of our travellers book on their own and find their feet quickly in a friendly group of like-minded Australians. Reduced single-supplement options are available on most departures — ask one of our consultants and we'll talk you through what's offered on this trip.
- A friendly Travel at 60 host — an Australian face on the ground, looking out for the group from day one.
- Curated local guides & boutique suppliers — the same operators we'd book for our own families.
- Real itineraries, not whirlwind tours — comfortable transfers, breathing room, and the “off the beaten track” stops the big bus tours skip.
Want to talk it through? Call 1300 414 198 7 days a week, Queensland time, and one of our consultants will walk you through it.
