Arrival in Victoria Falls and Transfer To Hwange National Park

You will be met at Victoria Falls Airport by a representative from Aritsamaye Safaris. Then you'll be transferred by road to Robins Camp, your lodge in Hwange National Park. It's a two-hour drive in an air-conditioned minivan. The camp is named after Herbert George Robins. Robins Camp area was originally ‘Little Toms’ and ‘Big Toms’ farms. The farms were acquired by H.G. Robins in the early 1900’s. He also acquired another farm and finally had some 26,000 acres of land. He put a stop to shooting and took active steps to stop poaching on his land, which had been a hunting ground because of the large variety and number of game. He developed a large private zoological park. A government gazette issued on 24th February 1928 announced that 14,600sq km of land was to be established as Wankie Game Reserve now Hwange National Park. When you get to the lodge, you will refresh and relax after a long journey. You will have your delicious dinner and rest surrounded by African wilderness sounds.
