Zimbabwe Safari

Check in for your flight to Johannesburg.

Connect in Johannesburg for your flight to Victoria Falls. After arranging your entry visa, you will be met and transferred to Ilala Lodge. 

The Sunset Cruise is a very big highlight – often just a small number of people on the boat, fabulous seating and gin/whisky/wine galore plus so much wildlife. A trip to see the Vultures feeding at the Safari Hotel is worthwhile and definitely something we recommend. There are endless activities available at Victoria Falls, it just depends on how adventurous you'd like to be! We do also recommend a flight over the Victoria Falls, the scenery is spectacular.

After breakfast, you will be transferred to Somalisa Camp. Hwange National Park is a great place to start your safari in Zimbabwe. From the moment you see the expansive savannah plains you will be in awe of your surroundings. Activities at Somalisa Camp are led by qualified guides who genuinely love what they do and they often share their tales of the bush with you. Whilst staying at the camp walking safaris, game drives, birding and cultural visits are all available for you to partake.  

Whilst staying at Somalisa Camp, you may have a huge surprise as the elephants frequently come and drink from the elephant pool that is situated at the edge of the decking area of the main camp.

Today you will be transferred to the airstrip where you will take a light aircraft transfer to Bumi Hills Safari Lodge. Nestled on the shoreline of Lake Kariba, Bumi Hills is a small intimate lodge with just 10 suites and a 2 bedroom private villa. Activities around Lake Kariba include boat safaris, fishing, game drives and sunset cruises. Finishing the day with a sun downer in hand, sat aboard a boat, looking out for elephants that come to quench their thirst at the waters edge as the sun sets is definitely a sight to behold.
The birdlife is prolific in this area, you can expect to see the giant kingfisher, fish eagles, herons, egrets, cormorants just to name a few.

Continuing your journey today, take a light aircraft transfer to Mana Pool National Park airstrip.  Kanga Camp is situated within a private concession in Mana Pools National Park, just next to the Kanga Pan. The Kanga Pan is the only source of water in the dry season and so as you can imagine, you may not need to move too far to enjoy a spot of game viewing! Activities at Kanga Camp include game drives, walking safaris and 'arm chair' safaris as they call it - great game viewing from your chair on the deck! 

We love the hide at the camp because frequently you can see a wide variety of wildlife such as wild dog, leopard, antelope and brilliant bird species - it's a real treat for any wildlfe and photography enthusiasts. 

All good things must come to an end and sadly you bid farewell to Zimbabwe today as you board your light aircraft and head for Harare Airport. Connect on to the flight to Johannesburg and finally on to London.

Arrive into London.
