The Victoria Falls is a massive curtain of falling water, which tumbles over a wide chasm in the earth (the Batoka Gorge). This great slice in the earth, and at the point of the Victoria Falls, lies within both Zimbabwe and Zambia. A bridge spans the gorge and one can enjoy activities in both countries. On either side of the Victoria Falls, you are able to view this spectacular natural wonder... however seasons do dictate how 'full' the flow of water is over the gorge, and at certain times of the year the Zambian side 'might' dry out occasionally (Nov-Jan). Thompsons run a full day tour which 'takes in' the spectacular Victoria Falls from both the Zimbabwean side and the Zambian side of The Falls - both are special in their own way - you will just have to come and see for yourself. In both countries, and on either side of The Falls, you are spoilt for choice of activities. For white-knuckle adrenaline fun, there is white water rafting (definitely not for the faint hearted), bungi jumping (reputed to be one of the highest in the world at 111 metres), jet boat extreme, zip line 'flying', heli and micro light flips over The Falls and more. There are also the gentler pursuits of safari kayaking (don't fall in though, there are croc's to contend with although they do hang about looking pretty lazy), elephant back safaris and lunch excursions to Livingstone's Island... then there's The Boma - a dining and cultural extravaganza. This really is just a sample of what's on offer - take a look at our day tours & activities to find out more: Vic Falls Tours & Activities - Zim side http://www.thompsonsafrica.com/ Vic Falls Tours & Activities - Zam side http://www.thompsonsafrica.com/ ************************************************************ WHAT'S SO GREAT ABOUT A SAFARI IN CHOBE BOTSWANA? The Chobe River game viewing experience is probably one of the most affordable of Botswana's safari options, and with the lure of excellent game viewing from both on land and on the river - safari game drives and safari boat cruises - game viewing is dynamic and you will not be disappointed. ** The opportunity to view the rare and endangered wild dog. ** Spectacular viewing of elephant as they jostle at the water's edge, kicking up dust and trumpeting - one can sit for hours watching these sensitive mammals. ** Huge concentrations of hippo, crocodile and buffalo easily viewed whilst on a safari boat on the Chobe River. ** Phenomenal bird life (440 species including the rare Narina Trogon and exquisitely colourful bee-eaters)! ** Awesome sunsets as you sip your G&T! ** Dynamic predator sightings, sometimes uncomfortably close, yet utterly thrilling. ** A range of accommodation options to choose from to suit all budgets, with spectacular setting along the banks of the Chobe River. The Chobe National Park covers 11 700 square kilometers (7270 square miles) and is the second largest National Park in Botswana! http://www.thompsonsafrica.com/ ************************************************************ *** Holiday package prices are valid from November 2008 *** Terms & conditions apply - please speak to one of our Internet Consultants for more details. *** Unique to Thompsons – ‘Dine Around’ Victoria Falls - read more... http://www.thompsonsafrica.com/ *** Visit our website for a range of holiday packages, guided overland tours, day tours in all the major tourist hubs as well as ideas for the more off-the-beaten- *** For loads of destination information on Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe and Zambia as well Chobe Botswana, in fact for all of Southern Africa, refer to the Thompsons Africa website - if you have any destination queries, we'd love to hear from you! http://www.thompsonsafrica.com/ # # # Thompsons Africa - Southern Africa Travel Specialists offering customized holiday packages, overland tours, day tours and adventure tours in: South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mozambique, Kenya, Tanzania, Mauritius & the Seychelles.
