Itinerary

1. Victoria Falls and Hwange

   • Your journey begins with being picked up from your hotel around 4:00 pm. You’ll be taken to a private reserve located approximately 7mi (12km) from the centre of town, where you will enjoy a late afternoon game drive until sunset.
   • Meander in an open, well-kitted 4X4 vehicle through a changing landscape of scenic basalt plains to the Kalahari sands and teak forests of the Nakavango Private Game Reserve, Hwange. The guide will share fascinating facts about the African bush, along with their experiences of living here.
   • At sunset, you will stop at a splendid vantage point to enjoy some drinks and snacks, stretch your legs, and chat about the afternoon’s adventures with fellow travellers.
   • At dusk, the flashlight comes out to give you the opportunity of seeing what happens at night in the African bush. Guides are trained to use the flashlight responsibly to minimize disturbance to the Game during the safari.
   • The guided safari will take you through the natural African bush. You might spot species such as lions, rhinos, elephants, buffalos, leopards, jackals, hyenas, civets, servals, genets, night apes, honey badgers and more. This is the time to observe active predators and their constantly alert prey. If you are fortunate, you might spot a lion on the prowl under the cover of darkness. This adventure will heighten your senses and have your pulse racing.
   • After approximately 1.5 hours, depending on the time of year, your guide will bring you back to a traditional open-air enclosure for a lovely dinner under the stars. The 3-course BBQ meal is complemented by wine, cold beer and light refreshments.
   • Relish the atmosphere as you listen to wildlife calls and see the animals come to drink at the waterhole nearby.
   • It’s one of the finest experiences- sitting outside under the star-studded African night sky, relaxing around an open fire, a delicious meal, a couple of drinks and good company. Stay as long as you like enjoying the campfire, drinks, and conversation.
   • Your driver will drop you back at your hotel once the group is ready to disperse around 10:00 pm.
