Tented Camp Fly-in to Zimbabwe’s best National Parks

2 nights at Deteema Springs Camp

Zimbabwe's largest wildlife park, Hwange National Park, lies between the famous Victoria Falls and Bulawayo. The western part of the park stands at a high altitude characterized by steep slopes and rocky outcrops, primarily covered by Mopane forest. The Tsamhole wilderness area, located on the western boundary, is home to Reedbuck Vlei, a natural spring feeding into the Deka River. Many buffalo, giraffe, zebra, waterbuck and eland live on the drier western edge of the park. It is an ideal destination for safaris and bush walks, and there are plenty of accommodation options in the west due to its abundance of water.

3 nights at Verney's Camp

Southern Hwange National Park covers more than 14,600 square kilometres and has more animals than any other park in Zimbabwe, including more than 400 species of birds. Lions, leopards, and cheetahs inhabit the park and are often seen patrolling the territories extending beyond concession boundaries. Deep Kalahari sands define the southern two-thirds of the park, home to vast forests of Zambezi teak trees as well as other hardwoods. Several ancient fossil lakebeds and drainage lines are visible throughout these woodlands, which now consist of large savannah grasslands fringed with Acacia and Leadwood trees.

3 nights at Mana River Camp

Mana Pools National Park lies in the northern region of Zimbabwe, on the southern banks of the Zambezi River. This tranquil park is a riverine wilderness of pools, floodplains, baobab trees and forests that are remarkably remote and never crowded. It is known as one of the best places in Africa to see endangered wild dogs. Large herds of elephants roam the park, where lions and leopards are also frequently sighted.  Its beauty and wilderness make it a World Heritage Site. In addition, the area is perfect for walking safaris - the thin vegetation makes for excellent visibility, allowing you to see big game up close.

2 nights at The Elephant Camp

Victoria Falls is a magnificent sight of awe-inspiring beauty on the Zambezi River, forming the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. The vast, basalt cliffs over which the falls thunder turn the Zambezi from a placid river into rapids that carve their way through dramatic gorges. The falls have been declared a National Park and World Heritage Site and are also one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. At the falls, you'll find activities like swimming, bungee jumping, and zip-lining. Additionally, there are calmer activities, including sunset cruises, walking tours and elephants interactions.
