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.
Straddling the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, Victoria Falls is the world’s largest waterfall by combined width and height. The spray rises high enough to feed a rainforest ecosystem of its own — mist, rainbows, and a constant low thunder.
The falls have been a place of reverence and spiritual importance for the local communities for centuries. Every guide knows a different story about their origin.
Things to do
Arrive slowly. Explore the falls first.
Guided tours
Walk the falls
A knowledgeable guide walks your group through the falls, sharing history, geology, and local legend.
Helicopter
Above the falls
A short scenic flight offers perspective on the scale of the cascade and the gorge below.
River cruise
On the Zambezi
A leisurely cruise upstream of the falls, with wildlife along the banks and sunset over the water.
Rainforest walk
In the spray
The falls feed their own rainforest — cool, green, full of species that thrive on mist.
Yoga by the falls
A first practice
A morning practice on the Zambezi with the falls in the background — a gentle way to arrive.
Bungee & adrenaline
For the adventurous
Bungee jumping from the Victoria Falls Bridge for those who want the adrenaline note.
From there to here
Three hours, then you’re home.
After Victoria Falls, the road transfer to Munga Plains takes about 3 hours — including the Zimbabwe/Botswana border crossing at Kasane. We arrange and accompany the transfer so your group doesn’t think about logistics.
A boat cruise on the Chobe often slots into the journey, with lunch at Kasane. Arrival at the camp in the late afternoon, in time for a welcome and dinner.
