Victoria Falls

Hwange National Park

Day 1

Today you will arrive into Victoria Falls Airport where you will be collected by your driver and transferred to Gorges Lodge where you will stay for two nights. Spend the afternoon settling into the lodge and taking in its unique and magnificent views into the gorge.

Day 2

Today is a full day at leisure to explore Victoria Falls. You could take a guided tour of the Falls by foot. Alternatively, if you are feeling more adventurous you could take a helicopter flight over the Falls, or even do a bungee jump off the bridge into the gorge. There are many other activities that can be discussed.

Day 3

Today you will be collected by your driver and driven approximately three and a half hours to Hwange National Park. You will be met by a guide from your camp and driven through the park on a mini game drive to your lodge where you will stay for two nights. Enjoy a bite to eat and refreshments before your late afternoon game drive with your guide.

Day 4

Today is a full day on safari with morning and afternoon safari activities such as game drives or walking safaris. Between the safaris you will have time to relax at the lodge enjoying brunch and high tea as well as any game sightings from the lodge itself. In the evening you will enjoy drinks around the campfire and a hearty 3-course meal. You will also be offered an opportunity to visit the local village and school to gain an insight into the local Ndebele people’s lives.

Day 5

If travelling in dry season (May to November) today will include a pump run between lodges. Guests can participate in the delivery of diesel, spare parts and provisions to the pump attendants who look after the waterholes maintained by Imvelo in the park. This is an integral part of the park which has no natural water source. This will create part of your transfer on to Nehimba Lodge where you will stay for the next three nights.

Day 6

Today is a full day on safari. This area is known for the elephant-hunting lion, with the BBC producing documentaries on this phenomenon. Activities at Nehimba include game drives, night drives and walking safaris.

Day 7

Day 8

Today you will be transferred to the edge of the park as part of your morning game drive. You will then be met by your driver who will transfer you approximately three and a half hours to Victoria Falls where you will be met at the entrance to the Zambezi National Park. You will then take a transfer with a guide to Zambezi Sands River Lodge where you will stay for three nights in a suite.

Day 9

Your large suite with private deck and plunge pool on the banks on the Zambezi will be hard to tear yourselves away from, but if you can, the following activities are included in your stay at Zambezi Sands River Lodge: a guided visit to Victoria Falls, safari activities by foot, boat or vehicle, canoeing, fishing, sundowner drift, village visit.
