Itinerary
Day 1
Hwange: A Wildlife Welcome
Travellers must arrive no later than 1PM for their included arrival transfer to Hwange. After meeting fellow travellers during the welcome meeting, tuck into a delicious dinner at the hotel. Now is the time to recharge, refresh and prepare yourself for the adrenaline rushes on the horizon.
Day 2
Hwange: The Circle of Life from the Ground Up
Enjoy morning and afternoon safari drives on the concession land near the lodge in Hwange. Sit down outside for a private bush lunch and head back out there to observe some more wildlife.
Day 3
Hwange National Park: And the Beauty of Golden Hour
An early morning safari drive awaits before a slower morning to enjoy the hotter part of the day at our lodge. A refreshing trip to the pool should be in order. After high tea for lunch back at the lodge, head out onto the private concession to search for wildlife on another safari drive.
Day 4
Victoria Falls: The Curtain Closes
Travel back to Victoria Falls and enjoy free time in the afternoon to explore the area. Choose to prebook the Victoria Falls Helicopter Ride for a view from above. Or choose to book the Riversong Sunset Cruise. In the evening attend Simunye: The Spirit of Africa Show and have dinner afterwards as a group.
Day 5
Victoria Falls: Your OMG Day
First things first. Head straight into a fully guided tour of Victoria Falls. No trip would be complete without it. Then in the afternoon, the choice is yours. Journey through over 100 years of history on an exciting and informative tour of the Bridge over Victoria Falls. A team of guides takes you through the remarkable history of this iconic structure and offers an engaging look into the past, while serving up an extraordinary birds eye view of the falls. Or sit down for a traditional, Zimbabwean meal, cooked by the Lusumpuko Women’s Club, a group of women from a nearby township working to support themselves and their families through a the tour operator-supported community initiative.
Day 6
Chobe: A Window to Africa's past
Like the true adventurer you are, cross the border from Zimbabwe to Botswana, entering Chobe National Park. Float downriver on board a small vessel and spot elephants, crocodile and hippo. Continue the safari on land en route to our exclusive bush camping experience. Your tent is up, the sun is setting, your headlamp is affixed, and the sounds of Africa surround you.
Day 7
Chobe: National Park & River Explorer
Rise early for a morning wildlife safari drive in Chobe National Park and board the Chobe Explorer for a memorable ride along the Chobe River searching for bird species and lounging on the top deck for prime wildlife viewing. There will be a group dinner at camp in the evening.
Day 8
Chobe National Park/Kasane
Enjoy one final morning safari drive on the route from Chobe to the airport in Kasane. Flights should depart after 2pm.
