Day 1

Hwange National Park

We know you can't wait to get started, and after welcoming you to Zimbabwe and a few brief formalities, it's time to get out there and explore. Zimbabwe has some amazing wildlife, and we know you're about to have the trip of a lifetime.

There's so much for you to see and enjoy while you're in Hwange National Park. This is the largest national park in Zimbabwe and one of the best Big Five destinations anywhere in southern Africa. Hwange is famous for its elephants, which are very common all year round, but frequently gather in their hundreds around waterholes in the Dry season. It is also a good place to look for large predators such as lion, cheetah and African wild dog. Hwange is close to Botswana in western Zimbabwe, and forms part of the five-country Kavango–Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area.

Day 10

Okavango Delta

You'll be exploring the Okavango Delta, one of Africa's most remarkable natural places. Every year, the Delta floods and every year the trails are different depending on the water levels. The interplay of water and dry land makes for some fascinating wildlife encounters. Expect sightings of elephants, hippos, crocs, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, and more, and the big cats are never far away.

Traveling in a Mokoro, Okavango Delta

We think you'll fall in love with the Okavango Delta when you explore with us in a mokoro (dugout canoe). The mokoro is a way of life for the local inhabitants out here in this land without roads. You might see wildlife, including elephants, hippos, crocs, and plenty of birds. But the real highlight is experiencing the Delta at a wonderfully slow pace.

Walking safari, Okavango Delta

Come with us on a walking safari, where you'll enjoy the thrill of stepping out into the African wild with an experienced guide. Although you won't be watching the animals from a vehicle, it's still very safe, and it's a priceless opportunity to feel really connected to the animals you'll see and the landscapes you'll explore in a whole new way.
