A 9-day journey through Zimbabwe's three crown jewels. Start at Mosi-oa-Tunya — the smoke that thunders — then head into Hwange National Park for Big Five game drives on foot and by vehicle. Wind down at Lake Kariba, where drowned forests rise from the water and elephants gather along the shore. Stays at Bayete Guest Lodge, Camp Hwange, and Fothergill Island keep the experience intimate and rooted in the landscape.
Built for families with children, this 11-day itinerary covers Zimbabwe's three most spectacular natural sites. Start at Victoria Falls Safari Lodge on the Zambian side, where kids can watch warthogs graze from the viewing deck. Move into Hwange for morning and afternoon game drives — this area's leopard and wild dog conservation programs mean sightings are frequent. Finish at Bumi Hills Safari Lodge on Lake Kariba, where the Lady Jacqueline sleepout boat lets the family fall asleep under the stars with hippos surfacing nearby.
Twelve days through four distinct Zimbabwean landscapes. Begin at Victoria Falls, then settle into Camp Hwange where elephants regularly wander through camp. Transfer to John's Camp in Mana Pools for walking safaris led by some of the country's most experienced guides — tracking lion, wild dog, and elephant on foot. The final leg at Fothergill Island on Lake Kariba brings sunset cruises and waterhole watching from a different vantage point. Private concessions throughout mean fewer vehicles and closer encounters.
A 9-day itinerary that opens at Bumi Hills Safari Lodge, perched on a ridgeline above Lake Kariba — the world's largest artificial lake. Sunset boat cruises here are accompanied by hippo calls and fish eagle cries. Move to Somalisa Camp in Hwange, where seven elegantly furnished sail tents sit among acacia woodlands and large elephant herds pass the watering holes daily. Finish at Thorntree River Lodge near Victoria Falls, where the floating boma dinner on the Zambezi is a standout. Includes a guided tour of the falls from the Zambian side.
Seven days spanning two countries and some of southern Africa's most exclusive concessions. Begin at Linyanti Bush Camp in Botswana's Okavango Delta region — mokoro canoe safaris, scenic helicopter flights, and catch-and-release fishing in the Linyanti marshes. Cross into Zimbabwe for the second half at Somalisa Tented Camp in Hwange, where recently renovated tents sit beside waterholes that attract large elephant herds. Night game drives on private concessions here reveal leopard, honey badger, and aardvark.
A 10-day itinerary that pairs conventional safari highlights with grassroots community engagement. Start at Thorntree River Lodge in Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, where guided bush walks and Big Five game drives share the schedule with visits to community upliftment projects. Move to Somalisa Camp in Hwange for concentrated wildlife viewing — elephant, lion, and wild dog are the main draws. End at Bumi Hills on Lake Kariba with canoe safaris and boat-based game viewing. Part of every booking supports local conservation and education initiatives.
Ten days across three premier southern African safari destinations. Start in Livingstone, Zambia, with a private boat for sunset cruises on the Zambezi River — the golden light here is among the best on the continent. Transfer to Somalisa Tented Camp in Hwange for walking safaris and night drives in a private concession, where the waterhole draws steady traffic from elephant, buffalo, and painted dog. Finish at Bumi Hills on Lake Kariba, where the infinity pool overlooks the lake and game viewing happens by boat through the Matusadona shoreline.
A 10-day itinerary that puts foot-based tracking front and centre. Open at Nyamatusi Camp in Mana Pools, where you track elephant and rhino on foot along the Zambezi floodplains — one of the few places in Africa where this level of walking access is still possible. Move to Thorntree River Lodge near Victoria Falls for private sunrise and sunset cruises, bungee jumping, helicopter flights, and guided rainforest walks through the spray zone. Close at Somalisa Camp in Hwange for concentrated game driving. Part of every booking supports Maunga Primary School through Go2Africa's Positive Impact program.
These are multi-day, fully guided safari itineraries (7-12 days) that combine multiple national parks and luxury lodges into a single trip. They include accommodation, meals, game drives, walking safaris, and park fees — unlike single-day tours.
The dry season (May to October) delivers the most consistent wildlife sightings. Animals gather at water sources and thinner vegetation makes them easier to spot. June through August is peak season with the mildest temperatures.
Several packages welcome families with children under 12, offering dedicated kids' programs and age-appropriate activities. The Family Zimbabwe Safari and Victoria Falls Community & Wildlife Safari are particularly well-suited for families.
Packages typically include all accommodation, meals at lodges, game drives, walking safaris, boat cruises, park fees, and transfers between locations. International flights and travel insurance are usually excluded.
