Victoria Falls

Situated on the banks of the Zambezi river in the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, close to Victoria Falls, this luxury camp gives you breathtaking views out over the river and access to all the local activities. This is a great place to relax before or after the safari portion of your trip. It has one of the best locations of any property in the area – the views are stunning. The main area is extremely spacious, with its large open lounge and a dining room. Outside, there’s an infinity pool and a lovely decking space that looks out over the river. Wooden walkways link the main area to the 12 rooms. These are very comfortable safari-style tents, beautifully furnished and decorated in earth colors, with large beds and good en-suite facilities. Each room has a private decking area, where guests can relax and watch the mighty Zambezi flow by.

Hwange National Park

On Day 4, you are transferred to Wilderness Linkwasha to explore the south-eastern part of the park. Wilderness Linkwasha is the flagship of the camps in Hwange National Park . It is the most luxurious camp in Hwange and situated in an area teeming with game, just within the Linkwasha Concession and a short distance from the game-rich Ngamo Plains. This camp has it all – luxurious accommodation, excellent service, fantastic guides, and loads of game!

Mana Pools

Wilderness Chikwenya has a lovely location within a private concession in the park’s eastern region and is a short 10 minutes from the airstrip. Nestled in the shade of albida and mahogany trees, it overlooks an open floodplain of the Zambezi river and has amazing views of the Rift Valley mountains beyond! The camp offers most classic safari activities. Expertly guided game drives and boating safaris take place during the morning and afternoon – and night drives are available here too!

Overview & Activities

This trip focuses on high levels of luxury while still delivering on game viewing and offering a great range of activities. It combines Hwange, which is known for having a fantastic diversity of mammals, and one of the finest private reserves that borders Mana Pools, so it delivers unbeatable boating safaris too. Private reserves give you more flexibility on your activities and a more exclusive game viewing experience away from the crowds. This, combined with some time in Victoria Falls, is arguably as good as it gets in Zimbabwe!
