Excess luggage storage (1 piece per person) will be available prior to checking in for your flight to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. Note: the flight is not accompanied.

Upon arriving in the Victoria Falls airport, another local representative will meet and assist you with your transfer to the Palm River Hotel where a light lunch (time permitting) will be enjoyed followed by check-in and some free time to explore the hotel and its grounds.

Discover an oasis of elegance and tranquillity at the Palm River Hotel, where sophisticated luxury blends seamlessly with the warmth and comfort of home. Set along the scenic banks of the legendary Zambezi River and enveloped by towering indigenous trees, this exceptional hotel offers panoramic, uninterrupted views while ensuring your privacy and serenity are always preserved.

Ideally located just 4 kilometres from the majestic Victoria Falls, Palm River Hotel puts you at the threshold of one of the world’s most awe-inspiring natural wonders. On clear, peaceful days, you can experience the distant roar and misty spray of the falls right from your room—a truly unforgettable backdrop to your stay. With its perfect balance of central convenience and secluded tranquillity, the Palm River Hotel welcomes you to indulge in the ultimate escape.

Later in the afternoon, transfer to the Zambezi River and embark on a sunset cruise (shared departure). Depending on the size of the group the boat may either be a covered single level sightseeing boat or a larger boat with multiple levels. Enjoy a beverage from this vantage point whilst watching the sunset and possibly sighting hippos, crocodiles, various birdlife and maybe even an elephant or two along the banks of the river.

Following the cruise, and weather permitting, a Riverside Dining Experience offers authentic African-style barbeque dining within an unparalleled setting on the edge of the Zambezi River. The diverse menu includes traditional Zimbabwean specialities, fresh salads and flavour-filled side options. The experience also includes traditional entertainment. Alternatively, during inclement weather, guests will dine at the hotel.

DAY 3

Following breakfast at the hotel, meet our local representative who will journey with you on this day tour to Chobe, Botswana (border crossing).

Apart from the herds of elephants, Chobe has a lot more to offer, the park has lion, leopard and many other renowned wildlife.

Your tour includes a boat safari on Chobe River, a game drive in Chobe National Park and lunch at one of the local lodges. Return to Victoria Falls in the afternoon (border crossing).

This evening, enjoy dinner at your hotel before retiring for the evening.

DAY 4

After breakfast and check-out, you will be met and transferred to the Victoria Falls Rainforest where you will have a guided walk.

Located on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, Victoria Falls is the world’s largest curtain of falling water, based on the falls’ one-mile width and height of 360 feet. It’s an amazing spectacle to watch as the Zambezi River roars over the edge of a basalt gorge, forming what locals call Mosi-Oa-Tunya or “the smoke that thunders.” In November 1885, after seeing the falls for the first time, Scottish explorer and Doctor David Livingstone re-named them after Queen Victoria.

A path along the edge of the rainforest provides visitors with an unparalleled series of views of the falls but be prepared to get wet from the tremendous spray!

After your tour of the Falls, transfer to the Victoria Falls airport for your flight to Cape Town via Johannesburg. On arrival in Cape Town, you will be met and transferred to your hotel for the evening. Note: flights are not accompanied.

Your hotel is located nearby to the Victoria And Alfred Waterfront where you will find a wide array of shopping and dining options within steps of the hotel.

Guests will be reunited with any excess luggage that was stored in Johannesburg and shipped to Cape Town.

NOTE: the cobblestone walkways within the rainforest can be slippery if wet and some spots are at a gradient. Proper walking shoes that have a good grip should be worn, and guests should wear appropriate clothing to get wet. Due to the amount of walking and terrain, this program is not suited for guests who have walking difficulty or who utilize a wheelchair or scooter. Walking distance will be 2-4km (1.24 – 2.48 miles).

DAY 5

Following a leisurely breakfast, complete check-out formalities and take a short drive to Lower Table Mountain Road where you will ascend the mountain by cable card and enjoy a bird’s eye view of the ‘Mother City’ from the top of Table Mountain –a bucket list site for many!

Re-board your vehicle and transfer to the harbour for embarkation.

*Guests are required to bring with them any details from the manufacturer regarding the CPAP specifications. While most modern CPAP machines are FAA-approved for in-flight use, having a copy of your manufacturer’s FAA-approval status will help to quickly clear any confusion that may arise.

* Failure to provide the above details in a timely manner may result in a denial of this equipment at the airport for which Regent Seven Seas Cruises nor our local ground operator will be responsible for.

*Some hotels do not provide distilled water. While we can certainly request this for you, we cannot guarantee that it will be available. If received in a timely manner, requests will be sent on the final manifest that our ground operators and hotels receive. We highly recommend packing your own supply especially on programs that travel to more remote locations in order to avoid not having it. Please keep in mind the rule for liquids in carry-on bags. Many hotels will charge for distilled water. If there is a fee, this will be added to your hotel incidental account to be paid at check-out. Fees will vary from hotel to hotel.
