Victoria Falls & Johannesburg
Add 3 nights in Victoria Falls & Johannesburg for only $729 USD (Single room: add $150 USD)

The 'Vic Falls' are the most beautiful waterfalls in Africa, if not the world. Located about 1000km from the source of the Zambezi River in western Zambia, the falls' towering column of spray when the river is high can be seen from over 20 km away, and the thunder of the falling water will take your breath away. Politically speaking,  Victoria Falls is on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. You can visit the falls on both sides, but the Zimbabwean side is considered by many to be the more beautiful, with a direct sightline to the "Devil's Cataract" and "Rainbow Falls."

Please note: A visa is required for U.S. and Canadian passport holders to enter South Africa (and Zambia, on extension).
