Guided Tour of the Falls and Transfers to Hwange National Park

This walk takes you through parts of the Rainforest to the precipice opposite the massive cascade, offering unencumbered views of the main falls. Prepare to witness the raw power of nature in a spectacle you’ll remember for a lifetime. After about 3 hours exploring this natural wonder, you will be transferred from Victoria Falls town to Hwange National Park. Our guides will assist with check-in at Hwange Safari Lodge, where you will enjoy lunch before your afternoon game drive.

Game Viewing Safari in Hwange National Park
You will embark on a full-day game drive to experience Hwange’s superb wildlife. Setting out early in the morning and again in the late afternoon—when animals are most active—you’ll have the best chance of memorable sightings. During the heat of midday, when wildlife rests, a packed lunch will be served at a scenic picnic site in the bush. Hwange ranks among Africa’s top national parks for size, diversity, and abundance of game. It is home to lion, leopard, rhino, and buffalo, as well as some of the continent’s largest elephant herds. In the expert hands of our guides, you’ll traverse acacia-fringed vleis and teak forests in search of Hwange’s Big Five. Game drives here are the best way to explore the park’s varied landscapes, and they almost always deliver unexpected and thrilling encounters.

Tuba is a fantastic guide, he deserves a pay rise :-)
Had the most incredible time exploring Victoria Falls with Tuba! 🌊✨ He was such a positive, happy, friendly, and knowledgeable wonderful guide — full of fun facts and stories that will make you laugh, that really brought the place to life. You can tell he loves what he does, and his energy made the whole experience unforgettable. The views were absolutely stunning, and Tuba made sure we got the best photo spots while also sharing so much about the history, culture, and nature around the Falls. Everything felt super relaxed, well-organized, and full of good vibes. If you’re visiting Victoria Falls, I can’t recommend Tuba enough. You’ll learn, laugh, and have an experience you’ll never forget! 🌈
