Beyond the
Safari Circuit
Extend your Tanzania adventure with world-class add-on experiences — from the thundering Victoria Falls to chimpanzee trekking in Mahale, hot air balloon rides over the Serengeti, and barefoot luxury on Zanzibar's pristine shores.
Victoria Falls — The Smoke That Thunders
Combine your Tanzania safari with the most spectacular waterfall on Earth — a short flight from Arusha or Dar es Salaam via Lusaka or Harare.
Victoria Falls Extension Package
💰 From USD 1,400 / person · 3 Days / 2 Nights"Mosi-oa-Tunya" — The Smoke That Thunders. At 1.7km wide and 108m tall, Victoria Falls is the world's largest curtain of falling water.
