Discover Zimbabwe’s iconic destinations in this fly-in safari. Zimbabwe is best known for the natural wonder, Victoria Falls but it is also home to 4 World Heritage sites, including the spectacular conservation area of Mana Pools where you will experience a safari on the banks of the Zambezi River. You will also visit the world’s largest man-made reservoir, Lake Kariba, and witness wildlife wandering its shores.
Starting at the picturesque and iconic Victoria Falls Hotel, you will explore this historic area and partake in 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. After this, it is off to Changa Safari Camp which overlooks the monolithic peaks of the distant Matusadona Mountains from its position on the shores of Lake Kariba. Lake Kariba is the world's largest artificial lake and home to a wealth of game fish, water birds, crocs and hippos. The activities here are focused on a true wilderness experience and the area is ideal for safari walks. Lastly onto Ingwe Pan, nestled alongside a large, secluded pan in the pristine Mana Pools National Park, fully rounding off this magnificent tour of Zimbabwe.
