Classic Zimbabwe

This safari experience begins upstream of Victoria Falls, where you can explore the wilds by 4x4, boat or foot. The safari then moves to Hwange National Park and its giant herds of elephant.

Vic Falls

See the mighty Victoria Falls

One of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, the locals call Victoria Falls “Mosi-oa-Tunya”, which means "smoke that thunders" in honour of the roar of the water plunging into the Zambezi River below. You will now be able to tick Victoria Falls off your life’s bucket list.

Visit Hwange National Park

An hour’s drive from Victoria Falls, this package takes in the largest Park in Zimbabwe. At 14,600 square kilometre in size, Hwange National Park is home to the “Presidential Herd” of elephants and the iconic giraffe is a common sighting. The vast space the ideal way in which to immerse yourself in the authentic spirit of a safari.

Meet the local people

A traditional safari is not limited to spotting animals. It is about embracing new cultures too. Which is why this package includes an outing to one of the many schools and communities that we have formed relationships with where you can experience the warm hospitality that the people of Africa are known for.
