Authentic Zimbabwe

Safari Overview

Discover Zimbabwe’s most iconic destinations on this 8-night journey, where secluded landscapes, majestic wildlife, and rich history merge to form an off-the-beaten-track safari experience. Marvel at Victoria Falls – one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World – explore the wildlife-rich savannahs of Hwange National Park and uncover the remote beauty of Mana Pools National Park. With two UNESCO World Heritage Sites and exceptional safaris, this adventure is a true celebration of Zimbabwe. Spend two nights at the Palm River Hotel, three nights at Somalisa Expeditions, and three nights at Zambezi Expeditions.

The Palm River Hotel, located just four kilometers from the iconic Victoria Falls, offers the ideal gateway to your safari. Embark on a guided tour to witness the sheer power and beauty of the Falls. Retreat to the tranquility of the hotel, where you can soak in serene views of the Zambezi River and, on calm days, hear the distant roar of the Falls, famously known as ‘the Smoke that Thunders.’

Your safari continues at Somalisa Expeditions as you head into the wilds of Hwange National Park – Zimbabwe’s largest wildlife reserve. Set out on exhilarating game drives and experience the park’s wonders up close through immersive walking safaris. Relax by the incredible in-camp Elephant Pool, where these majestic animals come to drink during the heat of the day. Spend a dreamy night beneath the African stars at Somalisa Sleep-Out, a charming treehouse retreat just 15 minutes from camp. Become one with the wild at Somalisa Expeditions.

Next, journey to Zambezi Expeditions, located on the banks of the mighty Zambezi River, within the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Mana Pools National Park. Surrounded by lush forests of acacia, fig, and mahogany, as well as expansive floodplains, this landscape teems with wildlife at every turn, with elephants often spotted standing on their hind legs to reach food high in the treetops. Engage in bespoke safari activities, including game drives, canoeing safaris, and catch-and-release fishing. At Zambezi Expeditions, every moment is captivating and mesmerizing.
