Good to Know

Frequently asked questions.

Do I need to be a confident swimmer for the mokoro?

No — mokoro canoes are poled by an experienced guide in shallow water, and life jackets are provided. It's a gentle, low-effort way to explore the Delta.

Is Victoria Falls visited from the Zimbabwe or Zambia side?

This itinerary visits from Zimbabwe, widely considered to have the more expansive views of the falls; a Zambia-side extension can be arranged on request.

Is this itinerary fixed?

No. Every element here — the camps, the pacing, the number of nights in each location — can be adjusted. This is a starting point for a conversation with your trip designer, not a fixed departure.

What isn't included in the price?

International flights, visas, travel insurance, and gratuities are excluded, along with any optional activities beyond what's listed. Your trip designer will provide a full, itemised quote before you book.
