This luxurious Zimbabwe vacation begins in sensational style with a visit to one of the Natural Wonders of the World, Victoria Falls, and continues in a similarly impressive vein, exposing you to Zimbabwe's most famous safari regions, Hwange and Mana Pools.
Marvel at huge herds of elephants in Hwange National Park and canoe down the Zambezi admiring the beautiful antelope, elegant water birds and ever-present elephants as life passes idly by on the banks. Life sometimes comes a little closer to the canoe in the shape of hippos and crocs too! Round off your trip with an indulgent safari in Mana Pools National Park where game drives and walks on dry land complement your water experiences, and where the elephants are so comfortable in camp, they will make you wonder who is watching whom. As you explore these wilderness gems you will be accommodated at Matetsi Victoria Falls, Linkwasha Camp and Chikwenya Camp.
