You shall later embark on a hike to the top of the falls as you experience one of the most powerful waterfalls in the world.

You get to check out the narrow gorge of 7 meters wide, because of its steepness, it drops violently into the waterfalls, falling 43 meters. After this exciting encounter, you shall proceed to your accommodation where you shall have dinner and overnight as you await tomorrows adventure.

After your morning breakfast, you’ll set off for an early morning game drive for possible sights of elephants, lions, Cape buffalos, Rothschild’s giraffes, hartebeests, hyenas and if you are lucky, the leopards.

You’ll return to the hotel for lunch or have lunch at the park.

This is also a zone of many bird species like the Goliath heron, Egyptian goose, pelican bee-eater, kingfisher, hornbill, cormorant and the rare shoebill stork. There you will leave the boat and start your quite heavy hike to the top of the falls (approximately 1 hour). You’ll return to your lodge for relaxation, dinner, and an overnight pending to morrows further excitement.

Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end.
