Start the day with a morning wakeup call with fresh tea/coffee and biscuits served in your room followed by a morning activity. Expert guides will take you to explore the mighty Victoria Falls, a World Heritage Site and one of the magnificent Seven Wonders of the Natural World. This truly is one of the most spectacular images that one has the opportunity to experience. Following this morning tour of the Falls, embark on a unique opportunity to experience life in a local African village.

During your stay at Sussi & Chuma, one of the included activities guests experience, is a tour of the local Simonga Village. This Village lies to the West of the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park on the outskirts of Livingstone and close to the famed Victoria Falls in Zambia. This simple fishing village is comprised of roughly 3000 people who live in simple but comfortable mud and brick houses. Village scouts and guides show guests around the village which generally includes a courtesy visit to Elizabeth Inongo's House. Elizabeth is one of the few head ladies in Zambia and is responsible for the well-being of her ward and of the village in general, and is one of the area Chief's (Chief Sekute's) primary advisors. The gentleness and care of this charming and wise elderly woman is immediately apparent upon meeting her. She has dedicated her life to ensuring that all in her community are well taken care of, and that each family is allocated sufficient land in order to sustain their
families.

The school also understands the necessity of teaching future generations the importance of farming and taking care of their families so it keeps chickens, goats and a vegetable garden that are tended to by the children. This ensures that they have the necessary agricultural skills to feed their community in the future. The village only has one openwater well from which the women and children collect water. They have no electricity, so modern conveniences like electric cookers, TV's and electrical lights are not present.

For the privileged few an old car battery is precariously wired up to provide enough power to run a small radio and the odd light. Many of the staff at Sussi and Chuma are from Simonga village and we support a number of micro projects designed to increase the people’s standard of living and well being. These include drilling a new a water supply to provide safe and clean drinking water to the community and other self sustaining initiatives which are decided upon by the community. Guests of Sussi and Chuma that are interested in a deeper, more personal involvement in Simonga Village are invited to inform their agent so that arrangements can be made.

Relax on your private deck, or by the river pool, with the sound of snorting hippos in the background. Mid-afternoon high tea will be served prior to your next activity. Return to camp for dinner. Evening at Leisure. Guests will have the remainder of the evening at leisure to relax and enjoy at the hotel.
