The 10 Day Rhino Safari – Northern Zimbabwe

“4 Paws”

This is the finest scheduled departure cross-country camping safari in Zimbabwe. We have a high staff to guest ratio and take a maximum of eight guests. The safari visits all the best reserves along the Zambezi Valley. Activities and modes of transport are varied and stimulating and include Land Rovers, aircraft, boats, canoes, and your own two feet. All meals are included, except for lunch and dinner at Victoria Falls.

Days 1: Victoria Falls

On arrival at Victoria Falls, you are met and transferred to the Ilala Lodge. You have the afternoon to explore the Falls or take an optional sunset cruise on the Zambezi River. In the evening, your guide will meet with the group at Ilala Lodge at 6:30 pm for a pre-safari briefing.

Days 2 to 3: Hwange National Park

We travel south to Hwange National Park. Zimbabwe’s largest wildlife sanctuary. We spend our time game viewing and birding on nature drives, at waterholes and on walks in the Makalolo area. We should see Elephant, Buffalo, Sable, Antelope, Cheetah, Lion, Leopard, and Wild Dog. We stay at our tented camp within Hwange National Park.

Day 4 to 5: Matusadona National Park—Lake Kariba

Today we fly to Matusadona National Park on the shores of Lake Kariba. We stay here for two nights, spending time on drives and walks, viewing large concentrations of Buffalo, Elephant and and the wildlife of the park. Our best opportunities for viewing Black Rhino exist here.
