Where your retreat begins.
Most retreats start with a night or two at Victoria Falls before the road transfer to Munga Plains. Mosi-oa-Tunya, ‘The Smoke That Thunders,’ is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World and the nearest international gateway.
The Falls
The largest waterfall in the world.
Stretching across the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, Victoria Falls is recognized as the world’s largest waterfall by combined width and height. The rising spray creates its own rainforest ecosystem of mist, rainbows, and the constant distant thunder of falling water.
For centuries, the falls have held deep spiritual and cultural significance for local communities, with stories and legends passed down through generations, each guide carrying their own version of its origins.
Things to do
Arrive slowly. Explore at your own pace.
Guided tours
Walk the falls
Explore the falls alongside a knowledgeable guide who shares the history, geology, and local stories woven into the landscape.
Helicopter flights
Above the falls
Scenic flights offer a wide perspective of the waterfall, the winding gorge below, and the landscapes surrounding it.
River cruise
On the Zambezi
Cruise upstream along the Zambezi River at a slower pace, watching wildlife gather along the riverbanks as the sun sets across the water.
Yoga by the water
A first practice
Welcome the morning with a sunrise practice beside the river, either on a platform overlooking the water or aboard a drifting boat with hippos moving quietly in the distance.
Elephant encounter
Meet rescued elephants
Spend time with rescued elephants and learn about their behavior, intelligence, and individual personalities through respectful conservation experiences.
Rhino game drive
Search for rhinos
Search for endangered black rhinos alongside other iconic African wildlife within a private reserve rich in birdlife and biodiversity.
Bungee & adrenaline
For the adventurous
For those seeking something more exhilarating, the iconic Victoria Falls Bridge offers bungee jumps, bridge swings, and zipline experiences suspended above the gorge.
From there to here
Three hours, then you’re home.
After Victoria Falls, the road transfer to Munga Plains takes about three hours, including the Zimbabwe/Botswana border crossing at Kasane. We arrange and accompany the transfer so your group can settle into the experience without thinking about logistics.
Along the way, a boat cruise on the Chobe River breaks up the journey, with lunch served on board before arriving at the camp in the late afternoon: in time for a welcome, dinner, and perhaps a gentle evening practice.
