5-day Hwange and Victoria Falls

Big 5 safari with Vic Falls begins and ends in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe.  Discover unparalleled natural wonders with this Hwange and Victoria Falls safari package and see why Hwange is one of the last great frontiers of unspoiled wilderness – where the rule of the wild continues as it has, uninterrupted for thousands of years. Spend 3 days deep in the African bush with exceptional game viewing and discover the great herds of elephants, lion prides and other game that take sanctuary in Hwange.

The last night of your Zimbabwe holiday package is spent in the tiny town of Victoria Falls, home of the mightiest falls. Feel the same awe and wonderment as one of Africa’s greatest explorers, Sir David Livingstone at his first sight of the majestic Victoria Falls, remarking that “The whole scene was extremely beautiful; the banks and islands dotted over the river are adorned with sylvan vegetation of a great variety of colour and form… no one can imagine the beauty of the view from anything witnessed in England. It had never been seen before by European eyes, but scenes so lovely must have been gazed upon by angels in their flight.” Feel the breeze in your hair on a sunset voyage along Africa’s 4th largest river, and savour the kind of peace and fulfilment that you can only find in Africa.
