Arrival at Victoria Falls Airport and Transfer to Bayete Guest Lodge for 2 nights

On arrival at Victoria Falls, our representative will meet you and transfer you to your lodge. Bayete Guest Lodge is a beautiful lodge that offers personal service to its guests. Two nights here will allow you to relax after your flight and give you time to enjoy everything the area offers.

Victoria Falls is one of the world's seven natural wonders, and a visit to see the falls is a must. But there are many other tours to do here. For example, why not consider a helicopter flight over the falls or a sunset cruise on the Zambezi? We can pre-book all activities for you and would be happy to advise the extra cost for them.

Transfer to Bomani Tented Lodge in Hwange National Park for 3 nights

Today, we will collect and transfer you to Bomani Tented Lodge via road. Hwange National Park is one of the premier safari parks in Southern Africa. Still, the prices of lodges here tend to be more reasonable than other safari areas of similar quality, making it fantastic value for money.

For the next three days, you will enjoy the superb game viewing that Hwange National Park offers. Morning and afternoon game activities are all included—you can choose from game drives and walking safaris.

Located at the edge of Hwange National Park is Bomani Tented Lodge. It is known for its wide open plains and vast herds of elephants. It is one of just a few lodges near the superb Ngamo Plains area, offering some of Hwange's best game viewing. The remote location of Bomani means that you will see very few other vehicles on game drives, so that you will have an uncrowded and peaceful safari. Anyone who stays here will enjoy a truly authentic safari experience.

Transfer to Rhino Safari Camp for 3 nights

You will be transferred via road from Bomani Tented Lodge to Hwange National Park Airport (takes approximately two hours), from where you will be flown to an airstrip close to Rhino Safari Camp. From here, a boat ride will take you to Rhino Safari Camp for three nights.

Matusadona National Park is one of the less visited safari parks in Zimbabwe; however, that is good news for clients who go there because it offers excellent game viewing with few other vehicles around.

For the next three days, you will enjoy this area's superb game viewing. Morning and afternoon game activities are all included—you can choose from game drives, cruises along Lake Kariba, fishing, and hiking.

Rhino Safari Camp on the shores of Lake Kariba is an absolute unspoiled gem. Comfortable, well-maintained African-style bungalows, excellent management, and fantastic game viewing have made this characterful lodge a popular place to stay.

For the next three days, you will enjoy the superb game viewing of Mana Pools National Park.
