Zimbabwe Safari Description
Begin with a brief stay at Victoria Falls at a hotel perfectly positioned to experience one of the world’s great natural wonders. You then move into a private concession within Zambezi National Park, where riverine landscapes and abundant wildlife offer a quieter, more exclusive safari experience along the Zambezi’s pristine banks.
Then take a short flight to Β Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe’s largest and most celebrated game reserve. Here, vast open spaces, productive waterholes, and large elephant herds define the classic African safari. From Hwange, another scenic flight carries you to on Lake Kariba and Matusadona National Park, where the pace eases and wildlife encounters β both by land and water β are seen in this land of endless horizons.
The safari culminates in Mana Pools National Park, one of Africa’s most revered wilderness areas. Known for its legendary canoe safaris and intimate walking encounters with elephants, Mana Pools offers a deeply immersive finale. This is raw, untamed, and profoundly memorable.
