Camp Kuzuma, Chobe Enclave

After breakfast, enjoy a guided tour of Victoria Falls before travelling by road to the Kazungula border and crossing into Botswana. Here, your guide will meet you for a scenic Chobe River cruise before continuing to Camp Kuzuma for a two-night stay.

Set within a private concession in the remote Kazuma Forest Reserve between Chobe and Hwange, Camp Kuzuma overlooks a busy waterhole frequented by elephants, giraffes, roan antelope, and other wildlife. With only a few tented suites, the camp offers an intimate safari experience.

During your stay, enjoy morning and afternoon game drives through this wildlife-rich region, known for elephant, zebra, and buffalo migrations between Botswana and Zimbabwe. Off-road driving and fewer vehicles allow for more exclusive sightings, while time at camp can be spent relaxing on the deck, enjoying the spa, or watching wildlife gather at the waterhole at sunset.
