Day 1
Enjoy Victoria Falls
On arrival, you'll transfer to the luxury Waterfalls Lodge. A three-night stay at Victoria Falls lets you experience the full magic of one of the world’s most spectacular natural wonders. There are so many activities that can be booked from the reception at the lodge. You can fill your days with unforgettable activities: soar above the falls on a helicopter “Flight of Angels,” glide along the Zambezi on a sunset cruise with hippos and crocodiles in view, or try adrenaline-packed adventures like white-water rafting, gorge swinging, and ziplining. Wildlife lovers can enjoy game drives in nearby reserves or take a guided walk to spot birds and smaller river creatures. Three nights allow you to blend adventure with relaxation—ending each day with the sound of distant thunder from the falls and the golden African light settling over the river.

Day 4
Transfer to Hwange National Park - Let the Safari Begin
A morning drive to Hwange National Park and onto The Hide Safari Camp. You'll enjoy the drama of game drives and walks with armed rangers in Zimbabwe's prime wilderness area. Guides in Zimbabwe are known across Africa for their exceptional skill, depth of knowledge, and rigorous training—arguably some of the most comprehensive on the continent. To become a fully licensed professional guide, candidates must pass demanding examinations that cover animal behavior, botany, geology, ornithology, survival skills, tracking, navigation, and advanced first aid. The process often takes several years. Beyond technical expertise, Zimbabwean guides are celebrated for their storytelling, cultural insight, and ability to connect visitors with the country’s history, traditions, and conservation efforts. You'll have an afternoon of relaxation followed by an evening game drive. You will enjoy dinner under the stars.

Day 5
Explore Wild & Dramatic Hwange National Park
Two days of game drives from The Hide Safari Camp center on the camp's exceptional location overlooking a perennial waterhole that attracts constant wildlife action, with massive elephant herds (often over 100 animals) dominating the views as they drink, bathe, and interact, alongside buffalo, giraffe, zebra, kudu, and predators lurking at the edges. Each day includes early morning and afternoon 4x4 drives targeting frequent sightings of large lion prides, endangered painted wild dogs, elusive leopards in trees, cheetahs on plains, and diverse antelope; by late season, extreme water scarcity creates dramatic concentrations of thousands of animals for intense predator-prey encounters. Night drives reveal nocturnal species like hyenas, honey badgers, civets, and spotlighted cats on kills, while downtime at camp offers uninterrupted waterhole viewing from elevated decks or the underground hide, delivering one of Zimbabwe's most immersive Big Five experiences in a richly diverse ecosystem.

Day 7
Fly to Matusadona National Park
You'll have a morning game drive en route to the airstrip to catch your flight to Kariba. On arrival, you'll transfer to Change Safari Camp. A three-day stay at Changa Safari Camp, nestled in a private concession along nearly 5km of Lake Kariba shoreline in Zimbabwe's remote Matusadona National Park, blends luxurious tented relaxation with diverse land-and-water safaris in the dry season (June–October), when wildlife concentrates along the receding lake.

Day 8
Game Drives, Boats and Walks by Lake Kariba
Days at Changa Safari Camp typically start with dawn game drives or guided walks through mopane woodlands and grasslands spotting large elephant herds, buffalo, lions, leopards, and antelope drawn to the water, followed by brunch back at the intimate eight-tent camp; afternoons feature pontoon boat cruises for hippos, crocodiles, prolific birdlife (including African fish eagles), tigerfish angling, or excursions to dramatic Sanyati Gorge, ending with sundowners on the lake as elephants gather on the shore. Evenings bring al fresco dinners under the stars, poolside relaxation, or beach bonfires, with downtime offering uninterrupted views of the vast lake and Matusadona mountains from elevated decks or private tent verandas in this serene, family-owned oasis.
