Introduction

Your safari begins with a breathtaking three nights of wildlife viewing in Botswana at Muchenje Safari Lodge.  Situated on the more exclusive western area of Chobe National park, Muchenje offers unique, prolific game experiences within this quieter region. From there, you will have a gentle break from the bush with two nights at Victoria Falls.  The Palm River Hotel, is a wonderful property from which to explore the area and the world famous Victoria Falls!  Your safari adventures will continue in Hwange National Park, with its stellar wildlife.  During your three night stay at Khulu Bush Camp,  you have the opportunity to spend time at the Painted Dog Research Centre.  The painted dog (or African wild dog), once truly endangered, are seeing their numbers grow thanks to conservation efforts – watching their playful interactions and hunting strategies is a unique experience.  Your itinerary will end with two nights at Amalinda Lodge in the stunning and spiritual Matobo Hills, where you can enjoy some wonderful activities including mountain biking, rhino tracking and a visit to the final resting place of Cecil Rhodes. Ask us about adding an additional 3 nights at Chilo Gorge Safari Lodge located on the edge of Gonarezhou National Park in southeast Zimbabwe.  For more information about this exclusive and remote area, read Vanessa's latest Zimbabwe trip report.
