Hwange National Park
  • Hwange is Zimbabwe’s largest and oldest national park and is internationally renowned for its impressive elephant population. The park supports a wide range of wildlife, including lion, leopard, buffalo, giraffe, zebra and the endangered African wild dog.

ITINERARY

Day 1 — Arrival at Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe
  • On arrival at your lodge, you will be warmly welcomed and assisted with check-in before having time to settle into the peaceful rhythm of the Botswana bush. Your stay at Meno a Kwena Tented Camp offers an authentic safari atmosphere overlooking the Boteti River, an area renowned for its dramatic wildlife movements during the dry season.

  • During your time here, you may enjoy a variety of immersive activities. Guided walking safaris provide an intimate perspective of the surrounding wilderness, while the camp’s unique floating hide offers exceptional close-up wildlife viewing and photographic opportunities.

  • A highlight of your stay is the opportunity to participate in a fascinating Bushman walking experience with members of the Ju/’Hoansi community from Xai Xai village. This cultural encounter offers rare insight into one of Africa’s oldest surviving hunter-gatherer traditions and deepens your connection to the land and its people.
Day 2 — Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe

After breakfast, you will be transferred to Maun Airport for your light aircraft flight into the heart of the Okavango Delta, landing at Oddballs Airstrip. 

  • On arrival, continue by lodge transfer to Delta Camp, beautifully set on a palm-studded island surrounded by seasonal floodplains and crystal-clear channels.

  • Your stay here is highly personalised — each chalet is allocated a private professional guide who will tailor daily activities to your interests and prevailing wildlife conditions.

  • Explore this pristine wilderness on guided nature walks, learning about the smaller wonders of the Delta ecosystem, or glide silently through the waterways on traditional mokoro excursions. 

  • These peaceful water safaris provide outstanding opportunities to observe birdlife, aquatic species, and larger wildlife along the Delta’s edge.
