A safari and beach combo, with Victoria Falls as an addition. Visit Victoria Falls on the Zambian side, experience a big game safari in Zimbabwe's premier wildlife reserve, Hwange National Park and a chill out on the beaches of Mauritius.

Victoria Falls River Lodge is a haven of serenity on the banks of the Zambezi River.

A light aircraft will fly you to Hwange National Park for your stay at Somalisa Camp. Here you can expect a top-class safari in the 'land of the giants' as it is known.
