Good news for those wanting to combine travel to 2 of the top holiday destinations in Southern Africa: Kruger Park and Victoria Falls. So on the same day as your morning game drive in the Sabi Sand, you could be showered by the spray from the mighty Victoria Falls in the late afternoon. What a way to combine two of the most sought after experiences by travellers and adventurers to Southern Africa.

  1. Some amazing pictures here. I especially like the one of the Lion, he looks all scraggly! Would love to visit Victoria falls next time I am in that area, I didn’t get chance the last time I was near.

    Don’t miss it next time! It really is special: difficult to describe the incredible energy that the Falls emit. And just to witness the sheer majesty of the whole scene is quite something. Plus plenty of exciting activities to do there too.

    I’m planning on visiting the Falls soon. What would the best period be for flying out there. It didn’t know there are activities to do there.

    Now is a good time. The water level is low, so good visibility, not too much spray and drizzle. There is plenty to do there, it is adventure central: river rafting, bungy jump, gorge swing, canoe trips, microlight flights, helicopter flights, elephant encounters, sundowner cruise and the list goes on. Enjoy!
