Why plan your Zimbabwe safari with a local operator?

Because we inspect the lodges, know the guides and are on the ground if plans change. Every itinerary is private and built from scratch: Victoria Falls activities, Hwange game drives, Mana Pools canoeing, Matobo rhino tracking, Lake Kariba houseboats, and cross-border add-ons to Chobe, the Okavango Delta and Zambia’s South Luangwa.

Zimbabwe safari questions, answered

Short answers to what guests ask us most. Each links to a full guide.

July to October is best for game viewing, when the dry season pulls animals to water in Hwange, Mana Pools and Gonarezhou. Victoria Falls is at its fullest from February to May.

Best time to visit Victoria Falls, month by month

Most visitors need one, and many nationalities can buy the KAZA UniVisa on arrival. It covers Zimbabwe and Zambia, plus day trips into Botswana through Kazungula.

KAZA UniVisa guide

The Zimbabwe side gives the widest views of the main falls for most of the year. The Zambian side puts you closer to the water and has Devil’s Pool in the low-water months.

Victoria Falls: Zimbabwe or Zambia

Victoria Falls packages start from about US$801 for 3 nights. Guided safaris adding Hwange and Matobo start from US$2,860 for 7 days; fly-in circuits including Mana Pools run US$5,400 to US$8,500.

June to October. The Great Migration usually crosses the Mara River between the northern Serengeti and Kenya’s Masai Mara from July to October.

Two to three nights at Victoria Falls, plus three in Hwange for big game. Allow 10 to 14 days for a full circuit with Mana Pools or Matobo.

“Professional, well organised and friendly.”

From the moment we were met at Victoria Falls until we dropped off, Patrick and his team were fantastic. Everything went exactly to plan and we couldn’t have been more pleased with where we stayed and the activities that were booked for us.

“All itineraries were organised very well.”

Our trip consisted of four different locations: Central Kalahari, Okavango Delta, Chobe National Park and Victoria Falls. All the transport between each place went very smoothly.
