Zimbabwe · SAFARI
Zimbabwe does safari with fewer vehicles at the sighting than its neighbours. The 15 below run from a half day on the river road to Hwange's waterholes and the private concessions, priced by what is included and how far you travel.
Leave Victoria Falls at 7:00 am for Botswana’s Chobe National Park. After an assisted border crossing, enjoy a three-hour Chobe River cruise, buffet lunch, and roughly three-and-a-half-hour open-jeep game drive. Guides such as Gaba, Figo, and Obi are praised for spotting lions, elephants, hippos, leopards, and birds.
“It was a memorable day full of wildlife at close range. Guides especially the one from Botswana were excellent”

Devil’s Pool may be replaced by Angels Pool when water levels are high.

Leave Victoria Falls at 5:00 AM for an early wildlife drive through Zambezi National Park and Chobe National Park, followed by lunch and a three-hour Chobe River cruise.

“TT and Mr T were amazing guides finding so many great animals in the park. We were staying in Livingstone and they were great at getting us to Botswana with no problem. Thanks for the great day.”
Join Savannah Adventures Safaris for a 90-minute walk from the N1 Hotel through bushland to Victoria Falls Bridge. A licensed guide such as Mthabisi or Carlos handles the border crossing, points out wildlife, explains the bridge museum and shows you part of the Falls from Zambia. The national park entrance fee is not included because this is not a full Falls tour.

“Thank you Carlos, You are great tour guide. It was raining like hell but you make every bit of our tour memorable!”
Savannah Adventures takes you through bushland toward Victoria Falls with a licensed local guide, where wildlife sightings are possible but not guaranteed. You then enter the Zimbabwean rainforest for the falls viewpoints. The walk lasts about two hours, accommodates up to 12 people, and requires a separate national park fee based on nationality.
“Unfortunately our guide struggled to gain entrance to the park for half an hour whilst we just stood there not knowing what was happening. When we finally did get in, he just walked along with us so we were very disappointed with this as we could have just done that ourselves.”
Savannah Adventures Safaris takes you by open safari jeep from Victoria Falls into town and nearby bush. You’ll see landmarks, baobabs, the Zambezi gorge, local markets, and wildlife habitat. Choose a sunrise, sunset, vulture, or moonlight departure. The small group holds up to 10 people, with pickup, refreshments, and a return to the meeting point.
“We did not go to see the vultures, and the safaris was a drive around town in the dark. I could of done that myself. I had booked other tours with this company due to disorganization they didn't happen. How to ruin a hoilday. They driver was friendly the fault was mismanagement”
Spend about three hours exploring unfenced Zambezi National Park with a guide such as Alex, plus hotel pickup and drop-off. Choose a morning drive with breakfast, coffee, and tea, or an afternoon outing with soft drinks, beer, and snacks. Wildlife is never guaranteed, but the bush setting is genuinely wild.
“The driver and guide Alex is a reservoir of local knowledge and is very professional. The whole experience was very worthwhile, even though we didn't see any elephants, we saw plenty of other animals. The tea by the banks of the Zambezi was quite phenomenal.”
