Places and/or Things Most Likely to See
A Zimbabwe safari is not quite the same without a visit to Hwange National Park, where your first 3 nights’ accommodation at The Hide is situated. Wildlife enthusiasts can expect to see a wide range of animals in large herds from elephants, lions, hyenas, and buffalo, just to name a few, all gathering around natural waterholes. Did you know Africa’s largest elephant population is situated in Hwange National Park? All these animals roaming freely during this trip on your Zimbabwe tours and safaris.
Lake Kariba is the largest man-made lake in the world. It was constructed between 1951 and 1955 between the governments of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, now Zimbabwe and Zambia. Bordering southwards is the Matusadona National Park and mountain range, and it is here that you will find your accommodation at Changa Safari Camp for the next 3 nights. Safari holidays in Zimbabwe would not be the same without experiencing the water-centric views and encounters with hippos and crocodiles along the shoreline of Lake Kariba. Choose between a boating safari or a traditional game drive while at Changa Safari Camp, where you will get up close and personal to a variety of aquatic life, from hippos to crocodiles, and occasional elephants gathering at the shore to drink.
As if your first 2 stops on your Zimbabwe safari tours was not awe inspiring enough, this Zimbabwe safari ends off at an all-time high, with your final 3 nights further north to the lower reaches of the Zambezi River in the Mana Pools, which is an UNESCO World Heritage-listed site. Here at John’s Camp your continued opulent accommodation will continue to be enjoyed. This area is renowned for its incredible density of wildlife, which can be experienced either as a walking safari or as a canoeing safari along the Zambezi River. Zimbabwe tours and safaris experienced here can expect to see residents such as wild dogs, leopards, and lions, just to mention a few.
Conclusion
This Zimbabwe safari will undoubtedly be a profound experience of one of Africa’s most diverse ecosystems and wildlife encounter opportunities. Your 10-day adventure finally comes to an end with your final charter flight back to Victoria Falls International airport or Robert Mugabe International airport in the capital city, Harare. The professionally guided excursions at all the luxurious camps at each stop, will deliver an awesome blend of adventure across three of Zimbabwe’s premier destinations.
