15 Days Luxury Namibia
2024 Vic Falls/Botswana/Caprivi/Etosha Trip
Namibia is known for spectacular encounters with nature and a wide range of activities to appeal to your spirit of adventure. Those who enjoy absolute tranquility can opt for a dolphin cruise and a camel or horse trail adventure through the desert. Motorcycling enthusiasts can enjoy car races, and those who prefer to walk can find various hiking routes and caves across the country. Extreme sports such as mountaineering, endurance racing, skydiving and hiking through the second largest canyon in the world are for those who want to get the adrenaline pumping through their veins.
Driving can be challenging, distances are vast, wildlife is truly wild – it’s certainly not for the faint of heart.
Itinerary
The itinerary serves as an example and can be customized.
Day 1
Arrive at Victoria Falls Airport where I will meet you. Then we drive to the beautiful Ilala Lodge B&B. Depending on your arrival time, we hike to the mighty Victoria Falls, which are not far from the lodge. The spray from the falls can be seen from the lodge’s terraces. If you fancy a real African evening, we go to BOMA for dinner (pp US$ 50.00), with singing and drums and a good buffet. If you want it a little quieter, we’ll stay in the hotel for dinner, great a la carte cuisine.
Day 2
Today you have time for a helicopter flight (currently US$ 175.00 per person) and in the afternoon a sundowner boat tour (currently US$ 95.00 per person). Overnight Ilala Lodge B&B.
To enter Zimbabwe, please bring US$ 30.00 per person (currently) plus another US$30.00. In Zimbabwe you can only pay with US$. Visa to Zimbabwe is US$30 per person and entry to the falls is US$30.00 each. THAT HAS NOT CHANGED UNTIL NOW.
