- Mhoro, and welcome to Zimbabwe. Your Botswana adventure begins in Victoria Falls with a 6 pm welcome meeting at the hotel. Arrive early if you can, because the Zimbabwe side gives you some of the best views of the falls and plenty of optional ways to feel the spray, the river, and the sheer scale of the place. After the meeting, you may want to head out for dinner with the group.

Trip moments from our travelers
Before you book you should know
Is this trip right for you?
Botswana can get seriously hot, especially in September and October, when daytime temperatures may reach 34-38 C. Some remote lodges do not have air conditioning because they run on solar power or generators. Wildlife viewing is seasonal, so the exact safari experience can change from one departure to another. Expect early starts, a few long driving days, and border crossings where patience goes a long way.
Visa information
Visa details are provided through Sherpa, a third-party service. The “Add connection” feature only shows transit visa requirements, not full entry visas. Additional service fees apply if you purchase a visa via Sherpa.
Accommodation
Hotel (2 nights), Lodge (4 nights), Basic Lodge (2 nights).
The stays are comfortable, but some remote properties keep things simple by design. Power may come from generators that are switched off overnight, so bring a battery pack and make sure any sleep apnea machine can run on battery power. Air conditioning and constant electricity are not guaranteed in all lodges, which is normal in this part of Africa.
