Zambezi National Park is a national park located upstream, just 5km from Victoria Falls on the Zambezi River in Zimbabwe and comprises 40km of Zambezi River frontage. It was split off from Victoria Falls National Park in 1979 and is 56,000 hectares (140,000 acres) in size. The park is bisected by a road to Kazungula, dividing it into a riverine side and a Chamabonda Vlei side. Most of the park is within the ecoregion of Zambezian and Mopane woodlands, while a small portion in the south is within the Zambezian Baikiaea woodlands.
The Zambezi National Park plays host to a wide variety of larger mammals including African elephant, lion, Cape buffalo and leopard. In addition to these charismatic members of the "big 5" there are herds of sable antelope, common eland, common zebra, Southern giraffe, greater kudu, waterbuck and impala. In addition, many species of smaller wildlife can be seen here.
Over 400 species of birds have been recorded within the Zambezi National Park. Pel's fishing owl, African skimmer, collared palm thrush, lanner falcon, goliath heron, African finfoot, rock pratincole and long-toed lapwing are considered to be among the speciality birds of the park. Aside from birds and land animals, there are 75 species of fish located in the park, including the famous tiger fish.
The easiest way to access the Zambezi National Park is via the Zambezi River Game Drive, which is extensive network of roads along the banks of the Zambezi and is accessed through the main gate. There is a 25-kilometre Chamabondo Game Drive that can take the visitor into the wilder the southern part of the Park, and which starts 5 kilometres south of Victoria Falls town; just off the main Victoria Falls to Bulawayo road.

Chobe / Ngoma Gate

Kanana Camp is set in the southwestern reaches of the Okavango Delta, where lush grass-covered islands rise from fertile, eroded termite mounds. This area, northeast of the Pom Pom lagoon, is crisscrossed by the meandering channels of the Xudum River. It’s a spectacularly scenic corner of the delta, marked by open lagoons, reed-fringed waterways, and a scattering of fig, palm, and jackalberry trees. The environment is constantly shifting with the water levels, creating a dynamic safari experience where land and water activities alternate with the seasons.
The camp features eight large safari-style tents, including a family unit, all built to blend seamlessly with the surrounding vegetation. Shaded by ebony, acacia, and sausage trees, the tents are well-spaced for privacy, with en-suite bathrooms. Raised wooden decks offer guests peaceful views of the surrounding bush and channels, making each tent a quiet, immersive hideaway.
The main area is built on raised decking that wraps around ancient trees, creating a natural and inviting space to relax between activities. Guests can gather in the open-sided lounge or enjoy meals in the dining area, with a cocktail bar and plunge pool completing the relaxed and sociable atmosphere.
Activities at Kanana vary with the seasons and include day and night game drives, mokoro excursions, boating, guided walks, fishing, and sunset cruises. The camp also has access to a seasonal heronry, one of the delta’s rare birding treasures, where thousands of water birds—such as storks and Pel’s Fishing Owl—nest from July onwards.
For a truly memorable experience, guests staying two nights or more between April and November can pre-book the sleepout deck (at a surcharge) and spend a night under the stars, surrounded by the sounds of the delta.

Camp Kalahari is a return to the traditional safari style of the old explorers and is the best way to experience the Makgadikgadi in a fresh and affordable way. It is the ideal camp for those who want fun, comfort, style and adventure. Camp Kalahari accepts children of all ages and makes for a fantastic family safari destination. The camp is nestled amongst the acacia’s and Mokolwane palms of Brown Hyena Island, on the edge of the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans, adjacent to the Makgadikgadi – Nxai Pans National Park.
Camp Kalahari has 12 Meru tents; twin tents, double tents and family units comprising two twin tents with an inter-leading bathroom. All tents have en-suite outdoor bathrooms, flush toilets and the hottest, wettest showers in the Kalahari. The tent interiors are classic old safari style, replete with comfy beds, crunchy cotton sheets, duvet and hot water bottles in winter. The main area, in the style of original explorer camps, comprises a large and comfortable thatched library, lounge and dining area; here guests can relax and enjoy the serenity and peace of this enchanting place.
Activities included at Camp Kalahari all year round are getting up close and personal with a visit to their resident family of habituated Meerkats, walking with a group of Zu/’hoasi Bushmen for a glimpse into their ancient culture as they teach guests how they have survived in the vast area, game drives to experience unique desert wildlife and a visit to the fallen Chapman’s Baobab, campsite of famed explorers including Livingstone, Selous, Chapman and Baines. Prior to its fall, Chapman’s Baobab was one of the three largest, oldest living trees in Africa. The fallen tree is still awe-inspiring sight.
The best adventure of all is to travel across the pans on quad bikes during the dry season (April to October) to experience the vast Makgadikgadi Salt Pans as well as sleep outs on the pans as the sun sets and guests can watch the planetarium show unfold with horizon-to horizon stars. In the wet season (Nov to March) guests can experience the spectacular migration of zebra and wildebeest. This is the second biggest in Africa and the last remaining in Southern Africa.
Please note: All activities are subject to seasonal availability and weather conditions during the month of travel. Pans sleep outs and quad bike activities do not operate in the wet season and may also be halted after unexpected rains, when wet conditions prevent access to the pans. Some activities will need to be pre-booked before travel. Quad bike trips run with TWO guests per quad bike. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult.
