Hwange Experiential Safari and Victoria Falls

The trip starts at Victoria Falls International Airport where you connect for the local flight to Shumba Airstrip in Hwange National Park. On arrival, you will be met by your guide for a short road transfer to Nehimba Safari Lodge where you will spend the next three nights. Enjoy your first night with a sundowner on the Nehimba Deck overlooking the waterhole. Enjoy dinner under the stars tonight, and overnight.

Nehimba sits firmly on the edge of the mopane woodlands associated with the north of the park and the kalahari sandveld of the south and west. All the diversity of Hwange's fauna and flora is within easy reach. No two days are the same at Nehimba and game viewing experiences are tailor-made to your preferences, including game drives, walking safaris and night game drives on the private concession in search of nocturnal species of wildlife. Not to be missed is a visit to the Nehimba Seeps, an ancient source of surface water, frequented by elephants, who can be found digging for minerals as well as enjoying the water

Whether you choose to track a herd of elephant on foot with your highly trained guide at dawn or spend the afternoon relaxing overlooking the waterhole on the deck by the pool, this wild and unspoilt bush paradise will guarantee you leave with memories to last a lifetime!

Breakfast at camp before the transfer to the railway for the rail car journey to Bomani . The rail-car does not run from Jan to April, the transfer is done via a short fly hop. Arrive Bomani, enjoy a lovely sundowner and relax at camp, before dinner and night.

Here you will notice a mix of open grasslands and woodlands that provides the perfect mosaic of habitats for the full spectrum of both grazing and browsing herbivores  resident in Hwange and then of course the carnivores that prey on them - Lion, Leopard, Painted dog and both species of Hyaena - Spotted and the seldom seen Brown.

This abundance of wildlife set in both woodlands and open grasslands provides some of the best year-round game viewing to be found anywhere in Zimbabwe.

Your time at Bomani will be spent enjoying game drives and walks in the well-known Ngamo Plains or you can choose to enjoy some time in the spacious underground hide capturing some up close and personal moments. Night drives also add to your experience at this lodge. Chat to your guide to customize your stay as per your preferences. Choose to be woken with coffee in bed, before joining your guide on a sunrise game drive inside the Park or, opt for a relaxing lie-in before visiting the nearby village and school for insight into the daily lives of the local people. You can visit the rhino sanctuary and spend 2-hours either walking, driving or sitting and observing the white rhino which has been brought back to Hwange, and learn all about this incredible conservation project from the anti poaching unit. There is always something to do, and see.

After an incredible six-night safari adventure in Hwange, you will be transferred to the airstrip for your flight back to Victoria Falls and onward to your final destinations on the banks of the Zambezi River for two nights at Victoria Falls River Lodge. Your stay here includes your meals, selected beverages and some set activities. Chat to the camp manager on arrival and schedule your days. Note that the park fees are not included and will need to be paid directly ($50 pp for the Falls entry for example). Choose to relax and unwind or to seek out adventure.
