Zambia holidays

Departures: Daily. Mukuni's Village is a Royal village which was founded around the 13th Century and is home to about 7,000 Leya people. The chief invites visitors into his village to get a glimpse of how his people have lived for generations and to learn a little about their traditional customs and beliefs. You will visit their huts, learn they are built and decorated, meet craftsmen and women at work and taste traditional foods and beer. This is a working village, not a purpose built tourist attraction, and it is a privilege to be welcomed into their lifestyle.

Departures: Daily A unique and exhilarating way of game viewing, riding on the back of an African elephant at a rolling pace in the company of expert guides.

Tea and coffee, snacks and soft drinks are included, as are transfers to/from the Victoria Falls day activity centre (children under 5 are not accepted and children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult). Prices from: £88 per person.

Departures: Daily. See the Falls at their best by taking an exhilarating 12 minute helicopter flight over the Zambezi, the Falls and back again, set to dramatic music and commentary.

Departures: Daily. Retrace Livingstone’s approach to the famous island on the very edge of the mighty Falls. Board a motorboat at the Royal Livingstone hotel jetty for the short journey to the island and a short guided tour of the island to get the very best view of the falls possible. Enjoy tea and coffee, light snacks, soft drinks, beer or wine in these spectacular surroundings before returning to the jetty. NB Does not run during high water periods (approx. February to June).

Departures: Daily. The Zambezi River is famous for one of the great freshwater game fish - The Tigerfish. These powerful, swift predators are a thrill to catch and require a great deal of fishing skill with a good river specimen weighing over 15 lbs. Bream or Tilapia also live in large numbers in the Zambezi river and although they don't fight quite as aggressively as the Tiger a good 5 lb fish will quickly snap light tackle given half the chance. Spinners and lures are the most common method of catching these fish although using light tackle, a fly and a fly-rod is becoming very popular and brings an extra dimension to a very exciting sport. A half-day trip includes transfers, tea and coffee, full English breakfast or lunch, soft drinks, beer and fishing tackle.
