Combine Victoria Falls and Chobe for the PERFECT ESCAPE!!

There is something very special about this part of the world. It's where mother nature displays the most captivating and romantic sunsets bringing out silhouettes of trees, animals and reflections on the river. To experience this in two separate countries, Botswana and Zimbabwe create the ultimate couples getaway.

The landscape is punctuated by the black basalt gorge, where the rapids of the Zambezi River froth 140 meters below the edge. The ‘Smoke That Thunders’ hangs like a heavy white cloud above the treetops on the horizon. A closer look reveals the canvas suites and main area blending in seamlessly with the environment on the banks of the Masuwe River.
