Zimbabwe is a phenomenal safari destination,
with its luxurious lodges, abundance of
big game, and community-based ecotourism
that benefits the local villages as well as
the wildlife. We’ll begin by experiencing
the wonder of Victoria Falls (including an
optional heli-ride), then fill our days with
amazing wildlife adventures in magnificent
Hwange National Park, the third largest
national park in Africa and home to some
40,000 elephants along with lion, hippo,
cheetah, and more. Come along and savor
lantern-lit dinners in the bush, sundowners
aboard a vintage railway car, walks to school
with the local kids (you’ll even learn a few
words of their click language), game drives
with the flexibility to get out and walk,
and game viewing by canoe on the great
Zambezi. This is adventure—WT style!
Days 1-5 Victoria Falls / Batoka Gorge /
Hwange National Park / Camelthorn Lodge
We hike the spectacular mile-long trail facing
Victoria Falls, fly over it by helicopter (optional),
and enjoy panoramic views from our sumptuous
lodge above the Zambezi River’s Batoka
Gorge. In Hwange, we explore by open-sided
4WD vehicle along the game-rich Ngamo Plains.
We’ll be on the lookout for zebra, giraffe,
wildebeest, jackal, leopard, wild dog, cheetah,
and more. Game viewing by vintage rail car,
night drives, a unique “look up” blind at a
waterhole, and village visits are among our
delights at Hwange.
Days 6-10 Hwange / Nehimba Lodge /
Zambezi National Park / Zambezi Sands
A game drive amid northern Hwange’s wildlife
brings us to dreamy Nehimba Lodge, with its
woodland and sand river environment. We enjoy
a game walk here. Our thatched chalets circle a
waterhole beloved by elephants—you’ll see
them up close! In Zambezi National Park, our
award-winning Zambezi Sands lodge positions
us well for a canoe safari on the river at sunset,
looking for elephant, hippo, crocodile, and a great
variety of birdlife as crimson colors reflect off the
waters. Depart on Day 10 via Victoria Falls.
