Day 1:
You will check in for your overnight flight to Livingstone, Zambia via Johannesburg.

Days 2 - 4:
On arrival in Livingstone you will be met and taken by road to Tongabezi Lodge on the banks of the Zambezi River.

Tongabezi is small and secluded, set in a grove of African Ebony trees. All of the unique open plan houses have huge mosquito netted four poster beds and unique architectural features with stunning views over the river from private balconies. Relax by the pool or go walking, canoeing or boating and all activities at the Victoria Falls can be arranged from the hotel. This is a popular honeymoon destination and the perfect place to relax before or after your safari.

Sindabezi is 3km downstream from Tongabezi (reached by boat or canoe) and is an escapists dream. With only 4 thatched chalets, it is truly a paradise island, fully staffed and self-contained, with no generator to interrupt the evening chorus of frogs and cicadas, lighting is provided by lamps. The resident hippos can sometimes make bed time a tricky manoeuvre and elephants often come over to the island and join you for dinner so be prepared to see wildlife at close quarters.
