Zambia / Botswana – 4 nights or more

Zambia / Botswana – 4 nights or more

Fly into Livingstone

Transfer to Waterberry Lodge, upriver from the iconic Victoria Falls, on the banks of the mighty Zambezi River, welcome to your home from home in the peaceful heart of the wild.  Around every corner there’s a different view – over the river, across the dam, through the woods. And there’s always a bird expert or river guide to tell you what you see.

The best possible service, delivered with a huge Zambian smile.

Visit the Victoria Falls from the Zambian side and take a boat trip on the Zambezi River.

Our expert guides will take you around the Waterberry riverbank and woodland areas to see our amazing collection of birds.   Keen birders can also visit Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park and even the Livingstone Sewage Ponds (something to make your friends jealous when you get home!).

And for some incredible inspiration, learn about their community projects.  In 2009 Waterberry founded Tukongote Community Projects to improve educational opportunities in the nearby villages. From humble, single-classroom beginnings we have developed into a first-world standard community school, with 3 preschools, a primary school, an adult teaching centre, library and burgeoning skills centre.

Drive west and cross the Kazungula border into Botswana

Established in 1959, Chobe Safari Lodge, is an excellent base to explore the Chobe River and Chobe National Park.

Chobe National Park in Botswana is a renowned birding destination, boasting over 450 bird species. The park’s diverse ecosystems, from the Chobe River and its floodplains to the dry savannas and woodlands, provide habitats for a wide array of both resident and migratory birds. November to April, especially January to March, is the best time for birding, as it coincides with the arrival of migratory birds and the breeding season. Boat cruises along the Chobe River and guided game drives offer excellent opportunities to observe the park’s birdlife.
