The raw beauty of Zimbabwe will sweep you off your feet with this nine-day fly-in journey connecting the excitement of Victoria Falls, the wildlife of Hwange National Park and the untouched nature and river views of Mana Pools National Park.

Start your nine-day discovery of Zimbabwe in Victoria Falls for a chance to view the famous “Smoke That Thunders”, arguably one of the most amazing sights in the world to behold! Spend two nights at the elegant and iconic Victoria Falls Hotel and be treated like royalty. A sunset cruise to witness the outstanding beauty of the area is included in your visit.

A light aircraft will transfer you to Zimbabwe’s largest game reserve—Hwange National Park—for a three-night stay at the stunning Little Makalolo Camp in a private concession where impressive herds of elephant and buffalo are often attracted to the number of waterholes found in the area.

Your third Zimbabwean destination is Mana Pools National Park in the north of the country where you enjoy a three-night stay at the secluded Ruckomechi Camp with spectacular Zambezi River views. Game drives, river cruises and nature walks will bring you close to the raw beauty of this area.
