We’ll journey out on a safari to discover the area around Matusadona National Park. Bordered by the Sanyati and Ume Rivers, this 1,400km²/540 sq mi-large untouched area is home to numerous animal species such as elephants, hippos, crocodiles, buffalos as... more+ well as thousands of birds. We might be lucky enough to cross paths with a big cat or two! The history of the park is closely linked with that of the lake: during the construction of the dam, the rising floodwaters affected the native wildlife although the damage was mitigated by Operation Noah, an initiative which saved the lives of over 6,000 animals. This rescue operation allowed for large mammals, big cats, impalas and more to be moved to Matusadona where hunting is strictly prohibited. 
included
Victoria Falls were discovered by David Livingstone in 1855 and named in honor of Queen Victoria of Britain, but the indigenous Tonga name--"The Smoke That Thunders"--continues in common usage and suits the falls well: we’ll leave for a guided tour on foot... more+ along a path from where the views are among the most exceptional in the world, namely where the Zambezi River plunges over the cliff to become the widest waterfall in the world. The changing viewpoints and the grandeur of this natural spectacle will unfold as we walk along. 
included
Soar over Victoria Falls in a helicopter for spectacular views over this true wonder of nature known as the "Smoke That Thunders". You'll also get to see from above where the Zambezi River plunges over the cliff to become the widest waterfall in the world, as... more+ well as the city of Victoria Falls and the surrounding nature. PLEASE NOTE The flight lasts for about 12 minutes. Times are approximate and the order of the visits can change.
