Classic Zimbabwe explorer

Wander down to the Victoria Falls and enjoy a morning exploring with your private guide. Aside from walking around the falls, helicopter rides offer a great way to see the falls in all their glory.

A driver will collect you from your hotel and drive you to the airport where a light aircraft will take you Hwange National Park. Your camp is a short drive from the airstrip — your safari begins here as you make your way through the national park to your camp.

Enjoy your first full day on safari. This morning, your guide will take you on a safari on the lodge's concession, searching for wildlife. Along the way, you’ll stop for refreshments before heading back to the lodge to relax in the heat of the day. As the temperatures start to cool, your guide will take you back out into the private concession for your afternoon drive.

While in Hwange National Park, we’d recommend joining your guide on a walking safari. You’ll follow any tracks or signs you find, so you may end up viewing a herd of elephants just a few metres away.

Today you’ll take a light aircraft flight into the wilds of Mana Pools in the northeast of the country. On arrival, you’ll be driven to your lodge where you’re staying for the next three nights. This afternoon, enjoy a sunset canoe safari on the Zambezi River and witness the stunning colours across the water.

Enjoy a whole day of safari activities. Wildlife drives explore the woodland, open plains and riverbanks. Mana is well known for its elephants, which stand on their hind legs to reach the tall trees. It also has excellent populations of buffalo, lion, leopard, giraffe, eland and more.

Another full day of safari activities. You may wish to go on a walking safari today. Mana has some wonderful birdlife, with species including malachite kingfishers, saddle-billed storks, spoonbills and the migratory carmine bee-eaters.

Take a light aircraft flight out of Mana Pools across rural Zimbabwe to Harare to connect with your onward travel arrangements.
