This combination is a series of once-in-a-lifetime experiences rolled together seamlessly to offer the perfect honeymoon, full of memories that will be shared for years to come. See the iconic Victoria Falls and then safari in 2 of Zimbabwe’s premier safari regions, Hwange and Mana Pools. Aside from visits to Victoria Falls, the area around the Falls offers an abundance of activities from sunset boat cruises and bungee jumping to helicopter tours and white-water rafting. Fall asleep to the sounds of the Zambezi River in your tented suite at Old Drift Lodge.
Hwange serves up some of the best game viewing on Earth, which can be enjoyed year-round on day and night game drives and walking safaris. The massive family herds of elephants can be viewed and photographed at unbelievable proximity. From the dry forests and plains of Hwange where there is no permanent water there couldn't be a more vivid contrast than the lush greenness of the Zambezi-fed Mana Pools National Park where game drives can be interspersed with river cruises, fishing, canoeing and walking safaris. You will fly between these 2 magnificent parks by light aircraft and stay in Linkwasha Camp and Chikwenya Camp, both of which offer outstanding guiding.
