Introduction

Welcome to your epic Zimbabwe Experience, this itinerary combines Victoria Falls, Hwange, Matopos and Gonarezhou. You will begin in Victoria Falls for three nights and your chance to see this wonder of the world. From there you are off to your first safari destination, Hwange National Park.

This is a unique park offering diverse landscape and excellent wildlife. Three nights here will give you time to really enjoy it. Next up you are off to Matopos, this area is known for its striking granite outcrops and a healthy rhino population. You have two nights to explore this area before a transfer to Masvingo which is home to the Great Zimbabwe Ruins. You will have a guided tour of these and then one night in the area. 

The stunning Gonarezhou National Park is your next destination. A less explored park due to its remoteness, it offers rivers, breathtaking red cliffs and exciting game viewing. 

Depending on the season you will then either have a flight or a road transfer to Harare for your final night before your flight home.
