The Authentic Zimbabwe

Day 1: Victoria Falls

Arrive into Victoria Falls and meet your driver for the transfer to your accommodation. Settle in and use the rest of the day to get your bearings, with the falls, the Zambezi and the town’s activity hubs all within easy reach depending on arrival time. Overnight at 528 | Victoria Falls.

Day 2: Victoria Falls

Full day in Victoria Falls. Take in the Zimbabwe-side viewpoints and footpaths through rainforest kept hot and humid by the spray, then choose how active you want to be with a wide selection of optional activities available locally, from relaxed time on the upper Zambezi to high-adrenaline options in the Batoka Gorge. Overnight at 528 | Victoria Falls.

Day 3: Victoria Falls – Southern Hwange National Park

Transfer for a shared air charter to Shumba airstrip, then continue into Hwange for the start of your mobile safari. Settle into camp and begin guided activities, focusing on reading tracks, working productive habitats, and building sightings in big-country wildlife terrain. Overnight at Inzila Mobile Safaris.

Day 4: Southern Hwange National Park

Full day on safari activities, combining game drives and walking, shaped around what is moving well and where tracking is strongest. Hwange is known for its large elephant population and wide mammal diversity, with predators and birdlife part of the wider mix. Overnight at Inzila Mobile Safaris.

Day 5: Southern Hwange National Park

Continue the mobile safari, using the flexibility of the camp set-up to stay close to the areas producing the best viewing. The day typically balances time in the field with breaks back at camp, keeping the focus on tracking and photographic opportunities rather than ticking fixed points. Overnight at Inzila Mobile Safaris.

Day 6: Southern Hwange National Park

Another full day of guided activities on foot and by vehicle, with an emphasis on following fresh sign and spending time with encounters rather than rushing between them. Expect a strong sense of immersion, with the camp moving through different parts of Hwange during the safari. Overnight at Inzila Mobile Safaris.

Day 7: Southern Hwange National Park

Full day safari activities, continuing to work Hwange’s shifting habitats and water-dependent wildlife movement. With the same guide and camp throughout, the experience builds day by day as patterns and territories become clearer. Overnight at Inzila Mobile Safaris.

Day 8: Southern Hwange National Park

Final full day on the mobile safari, keeping plans flexible and led by conditions and sightings. Time is used to follow whatever has been productive, with walking and game drives combined to make the most of the last day in Hwange. Overnight at Inzila Mobile Safaris.

Day 9: Southern Hwange National Park – Zambezi National Park

Shared air charter back to Victoria Falls airport, then transfer into Zambezi National Park and onward to Tsowa Safari Island. Arrive to a river setting just upstream from the falls, shifting from tracking on the plains to water-based time and a slower pace. Overnight at Tsowa Safari Island.

Day 10: Zambezi National Park

Full day based on Tsowa Safari Island, with activities shaped around season and water levels. Guided time can include walks and river-focused experiences, with space to take in the Zambezi’s calmer stretches upstream from Victoria Falls. Overnight at Tsowa Safari Island.
