Tiger Fishing The Zambezi River has some of the best Tiger fishing in all of southern Africa. Our lodge is located on a remote stretch of unsettled land far from the general tourist areas. The fishing here is fantastic! We have Tiger Fish, Bream, Cornish Jack and even Bottlenose. This section of the river boasts swift rapids and deep calm pools. The tigers come here to feed. Boats, expert guides and all gear are provided.
After the fishing continue the adventure at the Seventh Wonder of the World - Victoria Falls. We have included a complete tour of the Falls as well as a sunset cruise on the upper Zambezi. Also how about a walk on the wild side with a group of young lions followed by an elephant back safari? Adventure awaits! This trip makes for the perfect end to any trip in southern Africa or can be extended to include more safari in Chobe National Park in Botswana.

Day 5 - 05 September 2011 : Victoria Falls
An exciting day ahead!
First thing this morning – A Lion Walk and Elephant Safari!
Walking with Lions is a thrilling encounter that may prove a highlight of your Victoria Falls experience.
During your lion encounter, the pride strolls freely through the bush and, after an initial safety briefing, you
are free to walk with them, watching them interact, play, or even stalk prey species that they encounter.
The Elephant Back Safari is an experience you will never forget. After being introduced to your elephant
carer, you mount your elephant for a meander through the bush, viewing game from a wonderfully elevated
vantage point. Your safari ends with interaction time with your elephant. All the elephants are rescued
orphans from necessary culling operations in Zimbabwe in 1988. Although it is extremely difficult to train
African elephants, these elephants have been lovingly and patiently trained to a high degree and are all very
accustomed to humans and literally enjoy the interaction!
On both lion and elephant safaris, there are opportunities to take close-up photographs of interactions with
these magnificent animals.
Late afternoon you board your boat for a sunset cruise! Sit back and sip your favorite drink
and be part of the sundowner-culture in Africa! Apart from the great views of birds, hippo’s and crocodiles,
the sunset will be something to die for! Remember to recharge all the batteries of the cameras before you go
on this cruise!
