Zimbabwe: Luxury Safari & Victoria Falls
Experience Highlights
Begin in Hwange, where endless savannahs are alive with elephants, lions, and wild dogs. Game drives bring you close to the wild, while quiet moments by the pool let you watch elephants wander just steps away. Evenings are for sundowners by the fire, under skies that stretch forever.
Then, venture to Mana Pools, in the untamed Zambezi Valley. Walk with expert guides tracking predators, glide silently past hippos and elephants on canoe safaris, and let starlit nights and lantern-lit stories become your rhythm.
Finally, reach Victoria Falls, feeling the roar of “The Smoke That Thunders” and the magic of the river at sunset. Explore local markets, soar above the falls on a helicopter, or simply float along the Zambezi – every moment here is an intimate, unforgettable encounter with Africa’s wild soul.

Day- Wise Itinerary
Days 1 - 3 | Hwange National Park
Imagine waking to the soft rumble of elephants footsteps just beyond your window, the golden savannah stretching endlessly before you. In Hwange, every day unfolds like a story: lions bask in the sun, wild dogs weave through the grasses, and giant herds of elephants wander as if the land itself belongs to them. Between adventures, the pool beckons—cool off while elephants drink just steps away—and as the sun melts into the horizon, sip sundowners by the fire, letting the sky’s colors and the gentle hush of the plains seep into your soul.
Days 4 – 6 | Mana Pools National Park
Venture into the Zambezi Valley, one of Africa’s last untouched wildernesses, where the river winds like a silver ribbon through a world untouched by time. Here, each step becomes an adventure—walk alongside expert guides tracking wild dogs and elusive big cats, or glide silently in a canoe, surrounded by the quiet presence of hippos and elephants at the water’s edge. As night falls, the river mirrors a sky so full of stars it feels endless, and lantern-lit stories drift on the warm evening air, making each moment feel intimate, magical, and unforgettable.
Days 7 & 8 | Victoria Falls
End your journey at Victoria Falls, where the roar and spray of “The Smoke That Thunders” leave you in awe. Explore colorful local markets, take in breathtaking views on a helicopter flight, or unwind on a peaceful Zambezi river cruise as the sun sets in a blaze of gold and pink.
Day 9 | Departure
Savor a final breakfast with the Zambezi flowing gently before you, letting the morning light and the river’s calm linger a little longer before your journey home.
