Zimbabwe Safari Adventure

Fly overnight from London, via Johannesburg to Victoria Falls.

Arriving in to Victoria Falls at lunchtime you will be whisked down to the Hwange National Park by light aircraft and enjoy a game drive to take you through to your lodge – Somalisa Camp. You will arrive in time for afternoon tea and have some time to settle in before heading out for an afternoon game drive, a great way to orientate yourself with the park.

Your time in Hwange will be a wonderous time, with game drives, guided walks, birding safaris and village visits all on offer from Somalisa. Along the way you will see lion, elephant, buffalo, cheetah and wild dog, as well as possibly stately roan and sable antelope, two of Hwange’s most iconic sights.

Having enjoyed a final morning safari and brunch in Hwange you will be transferred back to the airstrip for a flight up to Lake Kariba – the arrival is truly dramatic as the vast lake appears on the horizon and looms ever larger the closer you get. Arriving at Bumi Hills Safari Lodge late in middle of the afternoon is perfect as you can sit back and relax on the decking area and watch the sun set over the Lake.

With some many activities on offer, you won’t be short of things to do to fill your time at Bumi Hills. Of course lake-based activities are an important part of the daily programme, with boat safaris, fishing trips and sunset drinks cruises all on offer. They also offer game drives in the Matusadona National Park also on offer and a wonderful way to spend part of your time here.

The flight schedule allows you to spend most of today at Bumi Hills, enjoying lunch on the deck before being taken to the airstrip for the stunning flight along the Zambezi escarpment to the Mana Pools National Park. From the airstrip you will be drive to the stunningly-appointed Zambezi Expeditions Camp, a lovely spot overlooking the Zambezi River and the ideal place to round off your adventure through Zimbabwe.

Mornings at Zambezi Expeditions start with breakfast by the campfire before you head out to explore with your guide. This is one of Africa’s premier walking safari destinations, so make sure you enjoy at least one walk, whilst game drives and canoeing safaris along the mighty Zambezi are also on offer. For those so inclined, there will even be the chance to fish for Tiger Fish from the banks of the river – a perfect afternoon activity.

Departing Mana Pools this morning you will be flown back to Harare for your flights back to London, routed via Johannesburg.

Arrive in to London early this morning after an exhilarating safari adventure through Zimbabwe.
