Today you are rewarded with a full day in which to make the most of your time at Victoria Falls. Stock up on a good breakfast just before you embark on your guided tour. First stop, the falls! This massive sheet of falling water and the spray that it produces is mesmerizing, to say the least.

Next up is a visit to the Vulture Culture centre where you can learn more about these fascinating and often overlooked scavenger birds of prey. Once you have watched the vultures have their feed, you will also have yours at the quirky Buffalo Bar restaurant on site.

In the afternoon, put your feet up and relax. Or, you can make use of the hourly courtesy shuttle to Victoria Falls Rainforest and the city centre. Tonight you will be enthralled by a cultural drum show as you dine in the traditional outdoor boma.
