Safari Description

Begin at Victoria Falls, one of Africa’s most iconic natural landmarks, where the Zambezi River plunges into the gorge with immense force and atmosphere. From here, continue to nearby Zambezi National Park for a peaceful river-based safari experience, staying on an island in the Zambezi River. It is a lovely contrast to the energy of the Falls, with time to settle into the rhythm of the river and enjoy the surrounding wilderness.

Continue by road to Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe’s best-known big game destination. Hwange is renowned for its elephant herds, seasonal wildlife concentrations and varied habitats, making it a rewarding safari stop.

Your safari ends in the Matobo Hills National Park, a beautiful and culturally significant landscape of balancing granite kopjes, ancient rock art and powerful history. The area also offers the chance to track rhino with an experienced guide.

Travelling by road allows you to appreciate Zimbabwe’s changing scenery while keeping the safari more competitively priced than a fly-in itinerary.
