Actually we did the walk around the falls and everything. It was maybe a 3 hour trip, maybe a little more, and could have spent more time. That 3 hours was at the falls also, not transportation, etc. but just at the falls.

We saw the elephant safari and the others that you mentioned and did not do it. Sounded sort of fun (some of them) -- but we also used the day or so at the falls to adjust to the time change. It is more than you think it will be. By the time we left the falls we were ready to rock and roll. So keep that in mind.

We also did some water excursions around the falls. Boats for the view of the hippos, birds, crocks, etc. I am sure they probably have that available also, but probably not high on your hit list. With 5 days you are pressing really hard to see what you need/want to see and the distances involved with each change in location.

Did you read our trip report or look at any of the pictures?
