Inspirational safari holiday to Zimbabwe and Zambia
This fly-in safari is heavy on highlights, taking in 4 of Zambia and Zimbabwe's most seductive sights: Victoria falls, Hwange National Park, Matusadona and Mana Pools. Flying between locations you'll get a birds' eye view of this amazingly diverse region. Begin in Zambia and tick the Victoria Falls off your bucket list. During your stay at Thorntree River Lodge you can simply relax looking out over the Zambezi River or enjoy a host of activities from tours of the Falls, village visits and sunset cruises to water white rafting and bungee jumping.
Next, fly between three of Zimbabwe's most incredible safari regions staying at Somalisa Camp in Hwange National Park, Bumi Hills Safari Lodge at Lake Kariba and Nyamatusi Camp in Mana Pools National Park. All are a part of the African Bush Camps portfolio, a visionary, award-wining company dedicated to conservation, with a passion for guiding. You will be blown away by the landscapes and wildlife of the parks, exploring them in game vehicles, on foot and by boat.
