About your itinerary
?
Don't forget that if something isn't quite right we can make changes to the itinerary.
Thank you so much for reaching out following your recent inquiry about your incredible plans for your honeymoon to travel to the iconic Victoria Falls and the authentic lands of Botswana.
Included in your itinerary, you will find some of my personal favourite cost-effective luxury safari lodges with all your charter flights and land transfers added for a seamless finish. I know you guys were looking to travel on your own intra-African flights into Maun and out of Victoria Falls so I have left these out for now, but do let me know if you wish for me to include them.
During your time in Botswana, I have opted for 6 nights across two stays; to start, you will enjoy a special experience at Camp Okavango, a truly special gem in the heart of the delta, and one that will have your heart. The second is the charming and authentic Camp Moremi, offering a smaller, more intimate affair but a favourite of the elephants!
And to finish, you will head to Victoria Falls where I have chosen the gorgeous Insika Lodge, with a spectacular position on the Zambezi River, perfect for watching the sunset over the water with a glass of fizz.
As we are under the $10K per person, I am really excited to hear your thoughts on the properties and the style of experience you are destined to have with us! It would be such a pleasure to work with you, and look after this special moment in your lives from start to finish. Cannot wait to hear from you.
Best travels,

Welcome to Victoria Falls
Welcome to Victoria Falls
Taking its place alongside the Pyramids and the Serengeti, Victoria Falls (its original, pre-colonial name is Mosi-oa-Tunya – the ‘smoke that thunders’) is one of Africa’s original blockbusters. And although Zimbabwe and Zambia share it, Victoria Falls is a place all of its own.
As a magnet for tourists of all descriptions – backpackers, tour groups, thrill seekers, families, honeymooners – Victoria Falls is one of Earth’s great spectacles. View it directly as a raging mile-long curtain of water, in all its glory, from a helicopter ride or peek precariously over its edge from Devil's Pools; the sheer power and force of the falls is something that simply does not disappoint.
Whether you’re here purely to take in the sight of a natural wonder of the world, or for a serious hit of adrenalin via rafting or bungee jumping into the Zambezi, Victoria Falls is a place where you're sure to tick off numerous items from that bucket list.
Insika Lodge for 3 nights
Insika Lodge for 3 nights
Insika (IN-SEE-KA) is an isi-Ndebele word meaning “Pillar of Strength”. It speaks of the wonder of the Victoria Falls which shoots up a pillar of cloud that, at certain times of the year, can be seen from as far as 50 kilometers away. The staff love Africa, and especially Victoria Falls, and are driven to share that obsession with their guests, providing intuitive service at every turn.
Your room: Signature Room
Perfect for those looking for a peaceful night’s sleep after a long day of adventure in the African wilderness. Your king sized bed offers ample space for stretching out and getting comfortable, while the ceiling fan inside the mosquito net provides a gentle breeze to keep you cool and comfortable throughout the night.
And if that’s not enough, your room air conditioner ensures that you can keep the heat and humidity of the African climate under control, allowing you to rest easy and wake up refreshed and ready for your next day of exploration. With these amenities at your disposal, you can rest assured that your stay in Africa will be nothing short of luxurious and comfortable.
BOMA Dinner Experience
BOMA Dinner Experience
After a lovely day settling in, this evening you will be greeted by your hotel transfer and driven to a special location ready for a must do Victoria Falls dining, a BOMA dinner. With entertainment experience, specializing in traditional African food, drumming and dancing. The food is cooked and served in the style and quantity of a lavish feast, including irresistible desserts.
On arrival, you will be invited to be dressed in a chitenge (traditional sarong) and welcomed into a vibrant atmosphere in which the tantalizing aromas of local dishes and game meat on the braai (barbecue) fill the restaurant, which is partially open to the star-filled African sky.
Your meals begin with a mouth-watering platter of starters whilst the buffet includes soup from the campfire, a range of salads, game meat cooked on a braai (barbecue), followed by desserts. Vegetarian options are also available, as well as local dishes such as peanut butter spinach. You can also look forward to outstanding
performances by traditional singers and dancers, and enjoy an energizing interactive drumming show. A face painter, storyteller, hair braider and fortune teller also form part of this festive evening.
