This Zimbabwe tour itinerary can be undertaken as a stand-alone journey or easily combined with a trip to one or more of the neighbouring countries such as South Africa, Botswana, Zambia, Malawi or Mozambique.

In former years, Zimbabwe was the safari destination of choice for many if not most visitors to Southern Africa until political and economic problems sent most visitors across to Botswana or down to South Africa.

This 10-day itinerary begins at spectacular Victoria Falls with the chance to see the falls and enjoy some of the many adventure activities in the area.

From Vic Falls, fly to Lake Kariba with its stunning wildlife and water based activities. Spend 3 nights at Lake Kariba’s Rhino Safari Camp, with daily game activities included.

From Lake Kariba take a short flight to another of Zimbabwe’s highlights, Mana Pools. From here embark on an exciting 4-day exploration of Mana Pools by kayak. Daily kayaking is included and a bush walk in search of Game in this beautiful part of Zimbabwe.
