Set off with the family on a journey of exploration along Zambia's mighty Zambezi River. Tick the Victoria Falls off the family's travel bucket list and then introduce the kids to Africa's famous wildlife in the Lower Zambezi National Park. It is simply one of life's unbeatable adventures. Discover one of the 7 natural wonders of the world, the Victoria Falls, staying in a family room at Thorntree River Lodge. Set on the banks of the Zambezi River, you will enjoy private river cruises, cultural visits, fishing expeditions, canoeing, rhino tracking and game drives, all included in your stay. Additionally there's guided rainforest walks, bungee jumping and helicopter flips as well as a kids' club. It's then time to explore the untouched wilds of the Lower Zambezi National Park staying at Lolebezi Safari Lodge where you will wake up with the majestic Zambezi River flowing just in front of your room.
The area has some of the best wildlife sightings in the world. Famous for its leopard population and elephant herds, this amazing destination is best experienced on foot with one of African Bush Camps' experienced guides. Activities include game drives, walking safaris, river cruises and fishing.
