The Falls from the Zimbabwe side, then two nights on the Chobe River among the elephants.
This short trip pairs the world’s great waterfall with Africa’s great elephant river. You see Victoria Falls from the Zimbabwe side, with a night at the Victoria Falls Hotel, then cross to Botswana for two nights at Chobe Game Lodge, with boat cruises and game drives along the shore.
It is an easy trip by road, with a one-hour transfer between the two, and a good start to a longer Botswana safari.
