Zimbabwe Fly in Safari Vacation
This Zimbabwean fly-in adventure takes in the best of the country's safari regions, Hwange National Park and Mana Pools National Park, and you can also tick the Victoria Falls off your travel bucket list. Begin at Victoria Falls River Lodge, a luxury lodge close enough to Victoria Falls to see the mist in the distance. Enjoy game drives, river cruises and tours to the Falls before jetting 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.
More wildlife drama awaits at Little Ruckomechi Camp at Mana Pools National Park, this time the focus more on the water. Cruise along the Zambezi River in a boat or canoe, as elephant herds cross the water, hippos bob to the surface and crocs slide beneath. There's also the chance to explore the area on foot.
