Day 7

 Livingstone
Spend the day exploring the breathtaking Victoria Falls, a natural wonder of the world. Adventure activities abound - go white-water rafting or canoeing on the Zambezi, take an elephant-back safari, bungee jump over the Zambezi River, or even fly over the falls for some fantastic views in a "micro-light", a motorized hang glider.

Day 8

Kasane/Chobe National Park
Depart the Livingstone area and travel to Kasane, sitting at the confluence of the Zambezi and Chobe rivers.
