Day Two: Ride and Falls
Get set for an elephantine adventure: after breakfast, you’ll head off to meet a herd of pachyderms before climbing on top of one for a morning elephant ride into the wilderness. This takes place at a special educational centre geared to teaching children about conservation and treating animals with dignity. Afterwards, it’s time to visit the majestic Victoria Falls with a private guide. Named as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World and called ‘The Smoke That Thunders’ in the local language, Victoria Falls is the largest waterfall in the world and a sight of epic proportions.

After breakfast, you’ll have the opportunity to learn more about their way of life by visiting their huts, seeing craftsmen and women at work, and tasting traditional meals. Afterwards you’ll make for Zambia’s best museum, the captivating Livingstone Museum, which is packed with tribal artefacts, taxidermy and a life-sized model of an African Village.

Day Four: Water world
Relax at your hotel today, enjoying the facilities and some well-earned chill-out time. Later, in early evening, it’s time to set off on a cruise along the Zambezi river as the sun sets and the animals come to the water for their last drink of the day. Look out for elephant, hippo and crocodiles then, as the sky darkens from rose to deep purple, watch silhouetted birds flit across it and hear the soothing sound of the water below. You’ll then return to your chosen lodge for the night.

Day Five: High time
Highlights don’t get much more exciting that this incredible trip above the falls – by helicopter. There is no better way to grasp the scale of the falls than soaring above them, taking in the Zambezi River and huge gorges that lead up to them as you cut through watery mist. Take it all in on this ‘Flight of Angels’, then return to your hotel bursting with unforgettable memories.

Days Six and Seven: And relax…
Because we know that a family-holiday demands flexibility, we’ve kept the last two days of your holiday free for you to do as much or as little as you’d like. There are a wealth of family-friendly attractions in the area for you to explore – from the crocodile-packed Livingstone Reptile Park to rafting safaris and even walking with lions. But you might just like to spend your final days in Zambia soaking up the sunshine by the hotel pool.
