Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Enjoy the sights and sounds of the Smoke that Thunders from the wildly iconic Victoria Falls Bridge, which is also regards as the adrenaline capital of no man's land between Zimbabwe and Zambia as it is home to the Vic Falls Bungee Jump site. Enjoy the mist from the waterfall as you cross into Zambia for your day trip.

Mukuni's Village is a Royal village which was founded around the 13th Century. It is home to about 7,000 Leya people. The chief has invited 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. The Chief’s guides and the people of the village are more than happy to show visitors their huts and take you inside, explain how they are built and decorated, introduce you to various craftsmen and women at work and ask you to taste some 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.
