After the project, volunteers can join the optional excursion to Victoria Falls and Chobe National Park for an additional excursion fee of $365. The excursion fee will cover two nights at a luxury hotel, food, a safari, a tour of Victoria Falls, accident insurance, and all entrance costs during the excursion days. Volunteers will be responsible for booking their own flight from Harare to Victoria Falls on March 12. This flight is not included in the excursion fee. Details on the specific flight to book are listed in the Travel Information section of the information packet.

One of the seven Wonders of the Wold, Victoria Falls is truly a magnificent sight. Upon arrival in Victoria Falls, you will hear the thundering of the water and see the mist that rises more than 1,600 feet into the air. The falls are more than a mile wide, and nearly 150 million gallons of water cascade down the drop off each minute during the peak of the Zambezi River’s high water flow. That afternoon volunteers will get a chance to see the falls up close and personally.

The following day, volunteers will drive to Botswana to visit Chobe National Park, a nature reserve that has one of the largest concentrations of game in Africa. Volunteers will get a chance to see all kinds of animals including elephants, hippos, zebras, lions, cheetahs, and much more.

On Tuesday the 14th, volunteers will have a relaxing morning in Victoria Falls where they can feel free to explore the town, return to view the falls again, or take a microlight flight over the falls at an additional charge.
