Vic Falls Short Break

4 Days | Spend a few days at the largest waterfall in the world

Short breaks
From
AUD $875

The world’s largest waterfall deserves more than a flying visit. Soak up the spray of Victoria Falls – also known as Mosi-Oa-Tunya or ‘The Smoke That Thunders’ – and check out some of the adventure activities in the local area, like zip-lining, whitewater rafting and canoeing. Learn about the history of this natural wonder from a local guide (so wonderful that it’s been named one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World). Fill your four days by zipping or soaring over the falls or relax instead – it's up to you.

Why you'll love this trip
  • Witness the thundering power of the waters cascading over Victoria Falls with a local guide.
  • Enjoy spectacular views of the falls and surrounding area from Knife Edge Bridge – the spray from the falls keeps the forest healthy and green.
  • Pick and choose from an abundance of activities in the area, like whitewater rafting, the gorge swing and canoeing.
  • Get to know Victoria Falls without the burden of having to organise accommodation or transport.
  • Opt for a helicopter ride so you get a bird’s eye view of the world’s greatest curtain of falling water.

Is this trip right for you?
  • On Short Breaks, you maintain a good level of independence and freedom, with the added bonus of having the details sorted out for you. You’ll have lots of free time and you won’t be accompanied by a Trip Leader. This means that all included activities and tours will be run by different local Intrepid partners, and these may operate independently from each other. The included activities and transfers will operate on a join-in basis, which means that you could have your Adventure all to yourself, or others may join you along the way. If you would prefer to travel in a group with a dedicated Trip Leader, just get in touch with your booking agent and they will take you through some alternatives.
  • Regardless of where you stay, power cuts and breaks in hot water are sometimes unavoidable, as in any developing country. In particular, South Africa suffers from load-shedding: rolling blackouts that are engineered specifically to share out available power in the region.
