The trip starts at Victoria Falls airport where you take the scheduled charter flight to Hwange Manga airstrip. On arrival you are met by the lodge and transferred to the camp. Relax before the afternoon game drive. You will be spending 3 nights at Somalisa Camp including all your meals, selected beverages and the scheduled shared game viewing activities. Hwange National Park is a land of contrasts from dense teak and acacia forest to vast open savannah. Somalisa is tucked away under the dappled shade of an Acacia grove, along the edge of an ancient seasonal floodplain. Activities include walking safaris, game drives, birding and cultural visits.

After breakfast, transfer to the airstrip on time for the charter flight to Kariba. Arrive at the airstrip and transfer to the lodge where you can enjoy the most wonderful view of the lake, before the afternoon activity. You will be spending 3 nights at Bumi Hills including all your meals, selected beverages and the scheduled shared activities.

Not only is Kariba’s shoreline wildlife-rich, but the lodge’s proximity to Matusadona allows for the wildlife to freely move between the national park and Bumi Hill’s private concession, creating endless game-viewing opportunities. In addition to the game drives and walks, you will have the opportunity to experience sunset cruises on the lake, and fishing (catch and release). Enjoy a night cap watching the starry sky and forget about the daily stress, listening to the sound of the bush around you.
