Itineraries

Classic Zimbabwe

Matobo National Park

Day 1 – 3

Arriving into this region, you notice immediately the striking, unspoilt landscape that Matobo National Park is renowned for. As far as the horizon, the view is littered with a range of massive red-tinged, granite boulders interspersed with gorgeous wooded valleys making it a dream destination for hikers, climbers and nature lovers alike. The park also boasts remarkably diverse flora and fauna, making game drives and walks especially interesting. Matobo is also home to an impressive range of African wildlife including the highly endangered black and white rhinoceros, zebra, wildebeest, giraffe, cheetah, hippo, warthog and crocodile as well as Africa’s largest concentration of leopard and black eagles.

Hwange National Park

Day 4 – 7

Hwange’s reputation for supporting huge herds of elephant does not disappoint visitors arriving in Zimbabwe’s largest reserve. The excellent guides here will also endeavour to find wild dog, lions and giraffe whilst out on game drives. Terrain ranges from desert dunes and savannah lands to rocky outcrops and sparse forests, and visitors have the choice of game drives, guided walks or horseback safaris as a means of experiencing the park and its creatures.

Victoria Falls

Day 8 – 10

Visitors to The Falls from the Zimbabwe side will argue that the view here is much better. You can decide for yourself if you choose an additional step across the border to Zambia as well. Whilst Victoria Falls is the main attraction here, there are numerous adrenaline sports to try as well as a visit to Mosi oa Tunya National Park to see the highly protected and rare rhinos.

Day 11

Depart homeward bound or continue your adventure in Zimbabwe or neighbouring South Africa, Zambia or Botswana.

Zimbabwe Walking Safari

Victoria Falls

Day 1

One of the original natural wonders of the world, the Victoria Falls is a World Heritage Site and an extremely popular tourism attraction. Known locally as ‘The Smoke that Thunders’ this spectacle is accessible from both Zambia and Zimbabwe and it is an ideal place to combine game viewing and water sports. There is excellent fishing, a terrifying bungee jump and arguably the best commercial white water rafting in the world.

Hwange National Park

Day 2 – 6

Fly today into Linkwasha Airstrip, your guide will meet you and your safari will commence straight away on your drive to camp. Over the coming days, you will be guided to some of the most amazing regions of the park such as Scott’s Pan and Ngamo Plains. Most exploration will be on foot, interspersed with game drives to give your feet a rest.

There are set departure dates for this trip, but it can also be taken as a private safari where you can alter the areas visited and the camps you stay in.
