This morning after your breakfast, you will be taken on your guided Tour of the Victoria Falls which is a once-in-a-lifetime natural spectacle. You will visit the seemingly lazy Zambezi River thundering into the gorge causing a continuous plume of spray that can be seen for kilometres.

Days spent on safari at Somalisa Camp in the Hwange National Park. Your day will start early with a guided game drive in an open vehicle, followed by a late breakfast at camp. In the afternoons when the heat has dissipated, you will enjoy another open-vehicle safari.
Hwange National Park is one of Zimbabwe’s wildlife treasures. Home to an abundance of game including tens of thousands of elephants that roam the region. The terrain is a mix of Mopane woodland in a Sandveld setting with open vleis and rocky outcrops in places.

Days spent on safari at Kanga Camp in the Lower Zambezi’s Mana Pools. Your day-to-day routine will follow the same pattern of twice daily guided open vehicle safaris, which at Kanga can also be switched to guided walking safaris. Mana Pools is arguably Zimbabwe’s premier safari destination. Thousands of hectares of Mopane woodland, vleis, open park-like woodlands, floodplains and pans characterize this pristine savanna landscape. Wildlife is abundant in the area and home to a healthy predator population including lion & wild dogs as well as a healthy leopard population.
