Arrive at Explorers Village as the Zambezi’s spray still hangs in the air and the distant roar of Victoria Falls threads through the scrub. Dome tents sit under fever trees and leadwood, a short walk from the falls and the bohemian bustle of Vic Falls town; by evening the river calms into a slow, reflective ribbon that dares you to follow its course.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

Arrive at Explorers Village as the Zambezi’s spray still hangs in the air and the distant roar of Victoria Falls threads through the scrub. Dome tents sit under fever trees and leadwood, a short walk from the falls and the bohemian bustle of Vic Falls town; by evening the river calms into a slow, reflective ribbon that dares you to follow its course.
Victoria Falls (Mosi-oa-Tunya) slices through ancient basalt and dolerite, its plunge pool and series of gorges carved over millennia. The town grew around the crossing of colonial and local histories—David Livingstone’s visit in 1855 put the site on western maps, while Tonga and Lozi people have long considered the gorge sacred. Today the area combines small craft markets, riverside cafés and a strong adventure economy: guided falls walks, Zambezi dinner cruises and aerial flips in a helicopter.
This 3-day package uses Explorers Village as a practical base camp: return airport transfers, two breakfasts and two dinners included, a guided Zimbabwe-side falls tour, a sunset Zambezi cruise and a choice of wildlife encounter or a short helicopter flight. Expect easy walking on paved and natural paths, frequent mist that soaks outer layers, and afternoon sun that can be intense.
Practical pointers: carry a waterproof outer layer, quick-dry clothing and insect repellent; bring small notes for local vendors and park fees; book helicopter or animal encounters in advance—their slots sell fast. Morning light gives the clearest photos and cooler walks; high water (Feb–May) is dramatic but mistier, while the dry season (June–Oct) exposes more of the gorge and better wildlife viewing.

Yes—return airport transfers are included in the package, with pickup and drop-off coordinated to your flight details.

Victoria Falls was documented by David Livingstone in 1855; the local Tonga name Mosi-oa-Tunya means 'the smoke that thunders.'
The falls sit between national parks on both sides and are sensitive to upstream water use—follow park rules, avoid single-use plastics and respect wildlife distances.
Jibha Africa Safaris operates guided outdoor trips and adventures with an emphasis on safety, stewardship, and memorable experiences.
