I've just re-booked my South African Explorer holiday for 21 Sept to include the Victoria Falls add-on and I'm very excited! Can you tell me what the itinerary will be for the add-on, which meals are included and are US dollars the best currency to bring? Also, will it be much hotter in Zambia than in S Africa - what type of weather can we expect there at that time of year?

Please see the itinerary for the Victoria Falls add-on below. this and all other important information will be posted out to you in your final information 15 weeks prior to your departure,

Have a great trip,

All the best,

Ben

Did this trip in March. Zambia was on a bed & breakfast basis. You can use Dollars, Rand or Pounds. I just charged all my meals and drinks to my room and paid up using my credit card at the end

Don't try and exchange money or use ATMs in Zambia, There is a large fee for doing this. If you need any cash get it in South Africa before you leave. ATMs and Exchange services are availabe at the airport.

The South Africa trip as a whole was brilliant! I had a great time and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. I must admit the main reason I went was to see the animals. I did all the game drives I could!

The Victoria Falls extension is fantastic. The hotel is in a game reserve, I woke up the first morning and there were zebras on the grass outside my room, and you are only 10 minutes walk away from the falls. As a hotel guest you have free access to the falls. You have to do the microflight over the falls. It is an experience I will never forget!
