Pure Africa Cruise Experience Victoria Falls

I believe no Victoria Falls trip is complete without going on a river cruise. There is something incredibly relaxing about being on the water and being surrounded by all that beauty. On a recent trip to the resort town, we had the pleasure of sampling a sunset cruise aboard the Zambezi Explorer. The Zambezi Explorer is under the Pure Africa stable; it is one of three fine vessels on which they are offering leisure experiences on the Zambezi.

Our Visit To Palm River Hotel In Victoria Falls

On our latest trip to the resort town of Victoria Falls, we had the pleasure of visiting the recently opened Palm River Hotel. Palm River is a 4-star facility that is a sister property to Ilala Lodge. We were completely impressed by the hotel itself and the experience as a whole. The hotel is a beautiful piece of architecture that uses a lot of local elements to come up with a property of world-class standards. There is a stunning walkway that leads to the entrance. The replica of the Victoria Falls Bridge is quite remarkable. The landscaping around the property is really top-notch as well. All the main areas have evocative artwork or statement pieces as foyer furniture.

Exploring Kazuma Pan National Park

Black smudges of black shapes. Brilliant black coats, a white proud blaze ever so slightly standing out from the burnt black woodland. It is fire season and the antelope is Sable. A group of around 7, 8, and 9 females was sitting under the shade. A bull was standing sentry a short way apart, the gatekeeper to Kazuma Pan. “I’ve never seen anything like it before, it’s like something out of a book!” Casey gasped as we drove away from the Sable, sentinel and unmoving from the precious shade, away from the last groves of Mopane and into the depression. As Alec, Kazuma’s Senior Ranger had promised us at the park’s reception, “it's not that big but I can assure you, it’s very rich.” It is. Very, very rich. Scan the flat, shimmering horizon and you’ll watch the sloping tsessebe, Africa’s fastest antelopes, herds of zebra in numbers unlike I’ve seen elsewhere - 40, 50, 60? - oribi, endemic to the Kazuma Depression, roan, giraffe, gemsbok, reedbuck, and eland

Our Unforgettable Experience At The Elephant Camp

What an amazing weekend we experienced at the Elephant Camp in Victoria Falls. The moment we landed at the Vic Falls International airport, the safari adventure began. An Elephant Camp shuttle was already waiting for us, a very friendly driver called Ben dropped us at the camp. Upon arrival at the camp, our bags were whisked away to our rooms and we were greeted with some delicious iced tea and drawn to the verandah with its stunning views of the African bush. We were treated like royalty by The Elephant Camp staff (led by Irene and Hamil), from the time we arrived until the time we left.

Pay Now Travel Later

If 2020 taught us anything it's that life is so unpredictable. If you have put off traveling for many seasons you probably kicked yourself a bit when we were stuck indoors and leisure traveling was out of the question. We can say much about the benefits of travel but we focus now on a clever planning perspective. The Pay now and travel later concept

Shongwe Lookout Victoria Falls

Shongwe Lookout is a luxury Bed and Breakfast that is located in Victoria Falls. The lodge was opened just two years ago and it has already claimed its stake among the neat accommodation options in the resort area. The My Guide Team managed to visit the lodge recently and we were very impressed.
