Day 1. Victoria Falls to Hwange National Park

On arrival, you will be met at Victoria Falls Airport (VFA) and transferred to Hwange National Park - Zimbabwe’s largest and best-known game park.

Our campsite is located at the main gate of the park and has a number of waterholes situated nearby making the area rich in wildlife.

*For those already in Victoria Falls, the meeting point is the Victoria Falls Rest Camp, Parkway Drive.

Day 2. Hwange National Park Highlights. Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe.

Today, we transfer to open safari vehicles and enter Hwange National Park. Located in Zimbabwe’s far west, Hwange sits in a remarkable belt of natural wilderness which extends across into neighbouring Botswana. It's home to Africa’s 'Big 5' (leopard, lion, elephant, rhino and buffalo) together with giraffe, cheetah, gemsbok, hyena and the Wild (Painted) Dog which we search for on a morning and afternoon game drive.

Day 3. Hwange National Park to Victoria Falls Highlights. Zambezi Sunset Cruise - Zimbabwe.

This morning we head out to explore the Park to view the elephant and perhaps lion, antelope and buffalo. We take our leave of the park and make our way back to Victoria Falls and our campsite for the next two nights where you have the opportunity to enjoy the many optional activities available in the area.

This afternoon you we will take a sunset dinner cruise on the Zambezi River, hoping to spot animals coming down to the water’s edge to drink. Commonly spotted animals include hippo, crocodile, various antelope and rich bird-life, and if we are lucky, elephant.

Day 4. Victoria Falls Highlights. Victoria Falls Town - Activities.

Today you have the choice of joining activities, or to simply relax in our beautiful surroundings. Popular activities include scenic flights for a birds-eye view of the falls, bungy jumping off the Livingstone Bridge, gorge swinging, jet boating, game drives and cultural excursions to name just a few. Alternatively, explore the town which offers a wide variety of unique experiences and great shopping opportunities.

Day 5. Victoria Falls Highlights. Victoria Falls National Park.

This morning we take a guided walk of the Falls themselves to see this amazing natural wonder and a UNESCO world heritage site before transferring to the Airport for your onward journey.
