20 Day Zimbabwe to Kenya: Victoria Falls to Nairobi Tour

Ready to kick off your African adventure? Arrive anytime and settle into your hotel before meeting your group for a brief welcome meeting. Tonight, choose to join the group for an optional dinner at a local spot, a perfect opportunity to get to know your fellow travelers. Victoria Falls is the ideal starting point for this trip, offering breathtaking natural wonders and thrilling optional activities. Stand in awe of the immense Victoria Falls, feeling the spray on your face, or get your adrenaline pumping by rafting the mighty Zambezi or bungee jumping with the falls in full view.

Settle in for a longer travel day as you journey through the Zambian countryside, with plenty of time to relax and connect with your group along the way. By late afternoon, arrive at your campsite on the banks of the Luangwa River, where you’ll have free time to unwind and take in the peaceful surroundings.

Today you are free to explore the South Luangwa National Park. There are plenty of activities to partake in and enrich your time here such as walking safaris, night drives and a visit to the local village. We highly recommend the walking safari as South Luangwa is the birthplace of walking safaris in Africa and there are loads to see and experience in this park.

Start the day early with the option to join a morning safari drive—perfect for capturing incredible wildlife moments. Later, stop for lunch and visit the Tribal Textiles Market & Courtyard, where local artisans create beautiful handcrafted pieces. In the afternoon, continue your journey to Chipata.

Enjoy a free day to experience Lake Malawi at your own pace, whether that’s swimming, relaxing on the beach, or exploring the surroundings. In the evening, visit a local home for a traditional dinner before returning to camp for a night under the stars.

Enjoy another laid-back day along Lake Malawi, soaking up its stunning scenery. Later, travel north to Chitimba Beach, where you can relax by the water and even try to spot Tanzania across the lake. With free time on arrival, you might head out onto the water or take a scenic hike along the shoreline, surrounded by this beautiful landscape.

Cross into Tanzania today and journey toward Iringa. Along the way, enjoy spectacular scenery as you climb out of the Great Rift Valley, passing through dramatic mountain landscapes, rolling highlands, and lush tea plantations.

Journey northeast to your campsite in the Baobab Valley, set along the banks of the Ruaha River. After setting up camp, unwind as the sun sets over the lush landscape, casting warm light across the iconic baobabs. As night falls, look up to a sky filled with stars, and keep an eye out for shooting stars before settling in for the night.

Wake up in Baobab Valley and set off for Dar es Salaam. Enjoy the changing scenery as the countryside gives way to the shimmering blue waters of the Indian Ocean. Spend the night here before continuing on to the island beaches of Zanzibar.

Enjoy a full free day in the tropical paradise of Zanzibar. Take your pick from optional activities like snorkelling, sailing, or simply relaxing on the beach and soaking up the island atmosphere.

Travel back across Zanzibar to Stone Town, then visit a local spice plantation on a guided tour to discover the island’s famous flavours and aromas. Afterwards, enjoy time to explore the heart of the city at your own pace.

Travel in the Lando across varied landscapes to Arusha, keeping an eye out for views of Mt Kilimanjaro. Nestled at the foot of Mt Meru, Arusha is the perfect base for your Serengeti and Ngorongoro adventure. Use the afternoon to pack a small day bag with warm clothes for the crater rim, insect repellent, sunscreen, and water. Bedding is provided, though a sleeping bag can help keep you extra warm. Zanzibar Express travellers will transfer from their Stone Town hotel to the airport for the flight to Arusha and meet the group at camp. Only breakfast and dinner are included.

Wake early for a morning safari in the Serengeti National Park and watch the wildlife come alive. After breaking down camp, travel to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and set up camp near the crater rim, where you can enjoy the stunning surroundings for the rest of the day. If you’ve pre-booked the Serengeti Balloon Safari, today is likely your flight, your guide will confirm the timing. This flight replaces the morning safari but gives incredible aerial views. Nights at the camp can be chilly, so bring extra layers for comfort.

Descend into the Ngorongoro Crater floor for one last chance to spot the incredible wildlife that calls this unique ecosystem home. Take in the dramatic scenery as animals graze and predators roam in this iconic landscape. In the late morning, the group will make the journey back to Arusha, where you can relax and enjoy a free evening in the town, reflecting on your unforgettable Serengeti and Ngorongoro adventures.

Embark on your final journey, departing from Arusha in the morning aboard the custom-built overland vehicle. Your scenic drive takes you north to Nairobi, Kenya’s vibrant capital city, where your tour officially concludes upon arrival.

If you’re not ready for the adventure to end, your guide can assist with arranging extra days to explore Kenya and beyond. Please ensure all onward travel from Nairobi is booked for after 9 PM. Accommodation for this final night is not included, but you can pre-book it through us.
