About this trip
Extend your wildlife safari experience by joining this optional 4-day post-trip adventure to one of Southern Africa's most breathtaking natural wonders: Victoria Falls. Explore the sprawling wetlands and woodlands of Zambezi National Park before taking in the majestic scenery of Victoria Falls, the world's largest sheet of falling water—whose local name aptly translates to "thundering smoke.”
This special trip is open to everyone, and your participation benefits the Climb for Cancer Foundation. The Foundation's travel program plays an important role in fundraising to support cancer patients and their families, while allowing explorers to check off bucket list travel experiences.
Highlights
- Marvel at stunning views and fascinating wildlife on a dinner cruise through the Zambezi River.
- Venture on a walking safari in Zambezi National Park to learn about the area's flora and fauna and spot many different animals, including the Big Five.
- Witness the magnificent Victoria Falls, a UNESCO World Heritage Site at the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia.
OPTIONAL EXTENSIONS: Combine this trip with one or both of Climb for Cancer’s other Africa trips: Uganda (Aug. 14-20) | Tanzania (Aug. 20-29)

About Climb for Cancer
The Climb for Cancer Foundation’s mission is to provide patient-centered support and fund the underserved needs of the cancer patients and their families, the clinical staff who treat them, and the social workers, child life specialists, and others who assist them in their cancer journey.
The small Foundation has made a tangible impact on the lives of many people fighting the disease, and has funded or created several psycho-social programs which provide support to the patient and the family. The Foundation likes to think that its gifts fill in the cracks left by organizations that make much larger gifts.
