As Zimbabwe’s largest national park, the grassy plains of Hwange are home to over 100 mammals and 400 species of birds.

Lovely Lake Kariba

Lake Kariba may be the world’s largest man-made body of water, yet its lush shores are a natural haven. Hippos bask in the shallow pools, while everything from elephants to antelope roam the grassy floodplains. Bird watching opportunities and game drives offer a privileged insight into the wildlife protected by the conservation efforts here.

Tour of Kariba town

Take a tour to the town of Kariba, where you can learn the engaging history of the dam’s construction and the people affected by its build, including the founder of Fothergill camp, Rupert Fothergill, who saved thousands of animals from flooding. Beyond the dam, you’ll have chance to browse local markets, and visit the town’s scenic lookout point.

Days 9-11

Marvel at Mana Pools

Wilderness abounds in this UNESCO-protected national park in Zimbabwe’s Lower Zambezi Valley, much of which is only accessible on foot. The area’s remote and untouched natural beauty is home to elephants, hippos and crocodiles, which gather round the four large pools, while predators such as leopard and cheetah stalk the woodland.
