Your incredible adventure starts in the awesome Victoria Falls. David Livingstone, the first European to see the Falls said “ a sight so beautiful must cause angels to pause in their flight”. Mosi-oa-Tunya “the smoke that thunders” as they are known to the local people. Walk the rain forest, pause at one of the many natural viewing points. You will be in awe at the power and physical force of the mighty Zambezi River.
There is so much to do - the flight of the angels by Helicopter over The Falls, the massive curio market, dinners to the sound of African drums, tribal dancing under the stars, the activities are endless.
For the adventurous there are “extreme” sports to enjoy - white water rafting, bungy jumping, elephant back riding to name but a few.
Your luxury hotel choice ranges from going back to a bygone colonial era to chic safari.
Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe’s oldest national park, is a short flight away. Home to the big five and some of the largest elephant populations on the planet. Also home to the endangered African wild dog. A natural habitat to over 100 mammal species and for avid bird watchers, home to some 400 bird species. With its luxury safari lodges, Hwange is a natural outstanding wildlife destination.
Add on to the safari. From Victoria Falls it is a quick one hour private charter flight to the 5 star Bumi Hills Safari Lodge and two nights of sheer relaxation overlooking the majestic Lake Kariba from the top of a 400 foot cliff. Bumi Hills has by far the most outstanding view site of this man made wonder of an inland sea. Here you can enjoy kick back game viewing from the balcony of your chalet to the shores below where the big five roam freely. There is land and water based safari drives, fishing and fine cuisine under the stars. From here it is short 15 minute boat ride to Musango Island Safari Camp where your fully catered houseboat is anchored just off shore from the lodge reception. You will have the choice of dining and sleeping on board under the stars or joining the camp evenings around the fire.
During the day The Houseboat will cruise up the shoreline of the Matusadona Game Reserve where you will have the opportunity to see Black Rhino with an experienced guide. Matusadona is a Big Five Wildlife Reserve. There will be opportunities for land and water based game viewing, fishing and fossil walks. A wonderful end to a Zimbabwean safari. From here it is back to The Victoria Falls and onward connections home.
