Flame of Africa news

Covid-19 has had such an effect on the world. It’s safe to say, everyone has felt the effects of this Pandemic. Our hearts go out to all those who have lost loved ones. No doubt the lasting effects of this Pandemic will continue to be felt for many, many years. 

If 20/20 is perfect vision as they say, what did we start to see clearly from 2020 onwards? 

According to the WHO Positive Aspects of Covid-19 Pandemic we saw,

Reduced Road Traffic meant less Road Traffic Accidents. 

Crime Rates have Fallen.

Lower Air Pollution has lead to lower heart attacks. 

Family communication has improved.

While we watched the Earth heal we took the opportunity to reinvent ourselves and our products too. We have always thought of ourselves as creative and innovative, but doing so amidst this pandemic certainly put us to the test. We want to share some of these exciting developments with you. Each week we will showcase a new product and why we like it. Once our new products run out we will remember some of our family favorites and why we say they are our favorites.

What’s New in Chobe?

BEST OF GAME DRIVES

Full day 4×4 Game Drive

You’ve travelled this far to see as many wild animals and birds as you can in their natural habitat. This full-day tour focuses on offering you a full-on game- and bird-viewing opportunity, with a professional guide who’ll do everything possible to enable you to experience the broad range of exciting sightings, ranging from the Big 5, to other predators, elephant and Cape buffalo, many species of buck and anything up to 460 bird species. It’s a wilderness without comparison.

Breakfast Game Drive

Picture it! You’re sitting on the banks of the beautiful Chobe River within the magnificent national park…while your hosts serve a delicious full-English or Continental breakfast, as your own discerning palate desires. Piping-hot coffee or tea enhance an unforgettable bush experience in the possible proximity of Africa’s wildest animals. It’s a highly recommended way to spend a full morning!

Victoria Falls 2 Night Break

The romance of the Falls has drawn guests for centuries.  This tourist town has developed into an adrenaline capital but there is much more on offer; culture, history, safari, shopping, magnificent views and the opportunity to relax and unwind spacious surrounds.

Visit the Victoria Falls, one of The Seven Natural Wonders.  This package allows you the opportunity to decide how you’d like to spend your holiday, be it on safari or partaking of the wide range of activities from white water rafting to Heli flips or simply a laid-back cocktail pool day. Don’t forget to get your souvenir shopping down in the quaint tourist town lined with arts and crafts stores.

Kazungula Bridge Tour

There are many Tripoints in the world but only one International Quadripoint. The four counties of Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, and Zimbabwe all meet at what’s called the Four Corners of the World. Take a trip with us and enjoy the magnificent sight of the new Bridge.

The Chobe Explorer Day Trip

This is a custom-made vessel built on the Chobe River. This delightful boat affords one a chance to really sit back in comfort with a drink of your choice to hand…as the boat glides through the stark and verdant landscape that comprises the national park and flood plains. Your host will later invite you to participate in a very tasty lunch on the restaurant deck, which is open on three sides for continued animal sightings. There’s always a hippo honking or a croc lurking nearby. The siesta deck is mainly an after-lunch spot to completely relax as the wild, wild world of Chobe comes to you. Sunsets are sublime, as you’ll indeed experience on the gentle cruise back to the jetty. Do enjoy this unforgettable day out in wild Africa!

Luxury 3hr Cruise

A 3-hour-long up-close-and-personal experience of the vast Chobe flood plains, while gliding slowly along the beautiful Chobe River in full VIP comfort. Enjoy a gin and tonic or a cold beer as you take in the wide expansive of one of Africa’s premier wild animal and bird Edens. This is as good as it gets, folks!

Victoria Falls and Kazungula border posts are open to fully vaccinated travellers

The Victoria Falls and Kazungula border posts are open to fully vaccinated travellers.

The Victoria Falls border crossing (between Zimbabwe and Zambia), and the Kazungula border crossing (between Botswana and Zimbabwe), are now open to fully vaccinated travellers.

This welcome news makes travel between the three countries easy and lets visitors add visiting the Zimbabwean Victoria Falls to Botswana and Zambia itineraries. 

IMPORTANT TRAVEL NOTE: When crossing these border posts all travellers must present proof that they are fully vaccinated and have a PRINTED HARDCOPY of your PCR test available.

Monica Mutsvangwa, Minister of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services, said "in light of the realisation that over 60% of the population in Victoria Falls has been vaccinated," the decision to reopen Victoria Falls was made. Strict health measures are enforced at border crossings and within tourist enterprises to ensure visitor safety.
