Safari in Zimbabwe, Lake Kariba and Mana Pools

VICTORIA FALLS
Arrival at Victoria Falls in the late morning or early afternoon.
Settle in for one night at your lodge, located in a residential area of Victoria Falls, 5–10 minutes by taxi from the falls.
Free afternoon to explore Victoria Falls or take part in other activities.
You could also opt for a helicopter flight over the falls to take some fine photographs.

Take in the grandeur of the Falls.

LAKE KARIBA
You will head to Victoria Falls airfield to board a light aircraft bound for Lake Kariba, in north-eastern Zimbabwe.
An artificial lake filled in the early 1960s following the construction of the Kariba Dam, the lake and Matusadona National Park are a haven for wildlife. Operation Noah, carried out before the valley was flooded, saved thousands of animals from drowning.

Settle into your superb lodge for 2 nights before setting out on your first safari with the lodge’s English-speaking guide.
At sunset, return to the lodge for dinner and an evening under the African sky.

The following day, morning and afternoon safaris with your English-speaking guide.

Safaris on foot, by small flat-bottomed boat, and by 4×4.
Truly memorable experiences.

MANA POOLS – Zambezi Expeditions
A light aircraft will take you further east to Mana Pools National Park.
On the banks of the Zambezi River, which marks the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Mana Pools is one of the most authentic places in southern Africa. Far from everything!
The atmosphere here is peaceful, and life moves to the rhythm of the Zambezi River.

Welcomed by your guide, with a safari en route to your camp, set on the banks of the Zambezi River.
Settle into your tents. You will spend 3 nights at Zambezi Expeditions camp.

At sunset, you can take in the magnificent evening light over the river and the Zambezi escarpment.
Note that night safaris are not permitted in this safari zone (national park), and off-track 4×4 driving is prohibited.
That said, you can go on walking safaris and — where possible — approach animals on foot.
2 safaris by 4×4 or on foot per day in the national park are offered.

You can take open 4×4 safaris, walking safaris to approach animals, and canoe trips on the Zambezi.

MANA POOLS – Nyamatusi Camp
Set within a forest of centuries-old trees on a bend of the Zambezi, Nyamatusi camp offers greater comfort and refinement for your final 2 nights.
Elegant and discreet, it offers just six tents and a highly personalised service.

Your days here will include walking safaris within the Nyamatusi concession, 4×4 and canoe safaris, accompanied by outstanding guides.

While wildlife can be observed year-round, the drier winter months (June–August) are particularly favourable, as animals gather around the scarcer water sources — lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant and zebra, along with some 400 recorded bird species.
The park holds one of the largest concentrations of hippopotamuses and crocodiles, thanks to its constant water supply.

Without a doubt, Mana Pools is where your finest African memories will be made.

After these thrilling safaris, you will fly to Harare ahead of your return flight.
