Plains & Falls

When visiting Zambia, a visit to the Victoria Falls is a must!

This Plains & Falls itinerary will take you to the open plains of the Central Kafue, before it takes you to the mighty Vic Falls.

The Central Kafue

Set in Zambia, the Kafue National Park is the largest park in the country and the second-largest in Africa. The contrasting landscape of the Central Kafue features riverine bush, miombo and savannah woodlands, vast open plains and majestic granite outcrops. Visitors can enjoy the pristine natural beauty of the diverse scenery and its natural, unspoilt beauty. Drive along the Spinal Road for a chance to discover the most remote parts of the Central Kafue National Park. Don’t miss the opportunity to spot a wide range of African wildlife with regular sightings of puku, impala and bushbuck and catch a glimpse of the countless bird species that call this area home.

The Victoria Falls

Situated along the southern border of Zambia, Victoria Falls is a spectacular sight of awe-inspiring beauty and grandeur on the Zambezi River. It forms the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe and stretches across almost two kilometres into a gorge over one hundred metres below – making it one of the world’s widest waterfalls. It is world-renowned for its sheer beauty and offers visitors the opportunity to immerse themselves in spectacular landscapes inhabited by abundant wildlife. Look forward to a wide range of adventure sports such as kayaking, white water rafting, ziplining, bungee jumping and bridge swinging; and those looking for more relaxation can enjoy a sunset boat cruise, game viewing, or browsing through the vibrant local Livingstone Market.

Depending on the time of year, you can visit one of the pools on the edge of the Falls. At low water level a dip in the Devils Pool is a great experience and I am very grateful that I could experience this as well. When the water level is higher, the Angel Pool is still an option. Though when the water level is really high, all pools will be closed due to safety reasons.

Your Itinerary

Day 1 - 4 - The Central Kafue

This journey starts at Lusaka in Zambia. From here you will have a flight into the Central Kafue, for the first part of your holiday.

Ila Safari Lodge will be your home for the next days. With this beautiful eco-friendly camp as a base, you will explore the stunning nature and wildlife that surrounds it. The lodge is located on the banks of the mighty Kafue River in an area of abundant wildlife and boasts 180 degree views out across the water.

Alongside the 3 game viewers they are the proud owners of Zambia’s very first ‘Electronic Landrover’ (eLandy). This vehicle allows you to experience all the sights and sounds of the bush in near silence and with a sense of environmental care. The eLandy is kept close to camp and operates in the Game Management Area for short drives or the relatively common ‘dinner table dash’ to investigate what that sound in the night was or how close those lion calls are!

Accommodation

Day 5 - 7 - The Vic Falls

The second part of your holiday will be near the Victoria Falls. A flight will take you from the Kafue to Livingstone. Here you will have a transfer to Tongabezi.

Sindabezi Island is a castaway dream on a white sand beach surrounded by the Zambezi, just a short boat ride from the main jetty. Tongabezi also offers thrilling boat trips to the incredible Livingstone Island in the middle of Victoria Falls.

A variety of activities await you here. For example sunrise and sunset cruises, sampan dining, visit the Vic Falls, visit the Mosi oa Tunya National Park, the Maramba and Mukuni Markets or visit the Tujantane School.
