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.
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.
Our trip began at Harare Domestic Airport, where we boarded the Kuva Air Flight to Victoria Falls. The flight took approx. 1hr 15 mins, was comfortable and we were served a light pastry snack accompanied by a soft drink. On arrival at Victoria Falls airport, we were met by the Sian Simba team who had 3 open safari vehicles waiting for us to transport us to the lodge which was approx. 35kms from Victoria Falls Town.
“Stop! Buck, Look! Ground hornbills.” I pointed out the passenger window to three blackbirds, striding through the charred ashes, beaks tucked in, three masks, and bulbous throats flashing red amongst a landscape of burnt black. They were on the lookout for insects and rodents.
This incredible 42 day circuit of Zimbabwe starts and ends in Johannesburg. We head into Zimbabwe from the south and travel in a clockwise direction. From our recent experience, on this route most of the national parks (other than at Victoria Falls and Hwange) do not have much tourism at present.
Kavinga Safari Camp is an exceptional wildlife destination that offers a remarkable experience for nature enthusiasts and wildlife lovers. Situated in a pristine wilderness area of Mana Pools, Kavinga Safari Camp provides a perfect combination of luxurious accommodation, knowledgeable guides, and exceptional staff service, ensuring an unforgettable safari adventure
She sat open-mouthed, her pink-barbed tongue lolling, panting at the effort of the feast. She was not so much looking at us through her glowering, heavy-lidded eyes as through us. Somewhere far, far away. Her pin-prink black pupils were glazed. Her body was heaving with the in and out breaths of an overly fed lion. She wasn’t going anywhere. Four others were soldiering through, taking lazy, slow bites off of the carcass that lay between them, masticating over each mouthful. One of the four moved ever so slightly, stretching her front paws from under her, making space for her round belly. I was reminded of contestants at an all-you-can-eat contest.
528 I Victoria Falls is a family-run Bed and Breakfast located in Vic Falls. We were privileged to visit earlier this month to get a first-hand impression of the lodge. It is just a short drive from the heart of Victoria Falls, within easy reach of shopping facilities and other amenities. We were given a warm welcome by the hosts' Paul and Meredith, who are always around helping out with guest relations and making sure everyone is comfortable. We were given some homemade lemonade as a welcome beverage when we arrived.
The Eastern Highlands region of Zimbabwe is one of the most beautiful areas in the country. Well known for its stunning landscapes, it has a lot to offer the nature lover who is hungry to explore. The area has a wide vegetation profile due to its rich soils, high altitude, and plentiful rainfall. One of the distinctive plants that are associated with the Eastern Highlands is the Protea. The Protea is a flower variety that is only found in Sub Saharan Africa and is quite abundant in neighbouring South Africa. It is a very diverse plant that has over one hundred subspecies.
