Classic Zimbabwe Holiday
This short but action-packed trip explores Victoria Falls and the wildlife-rich Hwange National Park, 2 of Zimbabwe’s most well-known regions. This is a great gateway to get a taste of what is possible in this diverse country.
Starting at Old Drift Lodge at Victoria Falls, you the chance to explore and enjoy the multitude of activities and adrenaline sports on offer such as bungee jumping and white-water rafting, or enjoy gentler pursuits like fishing, canoeing, and touring the Falls. Then you will jet off to Hwange National Park. The intimate Little Makalolo Camp has an active waterhole in front of the camp, as well as a log pile hide from which you can watch multitudes of elephant or buffalo come to drink. On day and night game drives, thrill to ‘off-the-charts’ game viewing: cheetahs, lions, African wild dogs, leopards, spotted hyaenas, and a vast range of plains game often fleeing them.
