ROUTE: (VICTORIA FALLS – HARARE)
DAY 1
We collect you at Victoria Falls airport and transfer to the beautiful A’zambezi lodge, www.azambezi-hotel.com, situated on the banks of the mighty Zambezi river where we spend the first two nights on African soil.
After an afternoon of relaxation at the lodge we enjoy a great dinner whilst being entertained by local dancers showing off their paces.
DAY 2
We have a full day ahead as we visit the mighty Victoria Falls after breakfast and have time this afternoon for optional activities like a helicopter flip over the falls and perhaps a sundowner cruise on the Zambezi before a delightful dinner in town.
DAY 3
An early breakfast is needed as we travel to Binga today for the start of the Lake Kariba cruise tomorrow.
After arrival in the afternoon we book into Masumu River Lodge, our home for tonight and after a short rest and freshen up we enjoy a lovely sundowner cruise on the Madumu river, followed by yet another enjoyable dinner.
DAYS 4/5/6
Three amazing days follow while we enjoy the wonders of Lake Kariba and slowly make our way to the opposite end of the lake.
The houseboat is very comfortable and the bird and wildlife along the way is absolutely spectacular!
DAY 7
Today we disembark the houseboat after an amazing journey and book into Kariba Safari Lodge, our destination for today.
The little town of Kariba has a number of interesting attractions and we spend the remainder of today exploring the town.
DAYS 8/9/10
We have a relaxed breakfast before embarking on our drive to Mana Pools Safari Lodge, our lodge for the next 3 nights.
Mana Pools is one of the best wildlife reserves in Africa and the time we spend here is all about good food, an abundance of game drives and some great fun in between…
Mana Pools have large numbers of elephant, hippo and crocodile, but also cheetah, leopard, lion, buffalo and many more and is a true wildlife haven!
DAY 11
Today we say good bye to the wildlife of Mana Pools and travel to Selous where we spend our final night of our adventure at the Chengeta Safari Lodge, situated in a huge private wildlife reserve.
If time allows we will fit in a last game drive and hope to see the big ones of Africa one last time.
A nostalgic dinner is enjoyed at the lodge and we reminisce the wonderful adventure we had.
DAY 12
A final breakfast is enjoyed at the lodge before we travel to Harare for your onward journey.
