Activity Description
This is an experience where guests can really give back to the community, whilst still enjoy a fun, challenging exploration of the markets and town of Victoria Falls. Wild Horizons will provide the group with a selection of organisations in Victoria Falls that could use some form of support (it could be an old age home, orphanage, local clinic etc).
Once the guest chooses which organisation they would like to support, they will be given a “wish list” from the chosen charity, and the guests embark on a mission to source the items from in and around Victoria Falls town.
Once the items have been sourced, the guests will be transferred to the area to meet and interact with the recipients, and deliver the goods, before being transferred back to their hotels
