This hassle-free family safari takes in 3 of Zimbabwe's most seductive sights: Victoria Falls, Hwange National Park and Matusadona. Begin at Victoria Falls where you will get to see one of the 7 natural wonders of the world in all its glory. Aside from visits to the Falls, the area 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 family tented suite at Old Drift Lodge.
Next, fly between 2 of Zimbabwe’s most incredible safari regions staying at Somalisa Acacia Camp in Hwange National Park and Bumi Hills Safari Lodge. Both 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. Both camps offer family rooms and Child Specialist Guides, as well as educational activities for the kids such as nature walks around camp, traditional storytelling, cooking classes and bead making.
