Tailor-made Wildlife Holidays in Zimbabwe
We are being highly selective about what we offer in Zimbabwe since, in our view, it is essential that those facilities we use provide benefits to the local economy and impoverished communities, and help generate employment at a grass-roots level.
At present for obvious reasons, Zimbabwe feels like a brand new destination and has prices to match, but it's unlikely to remain like that for long.

Fact!
Upper Zambezi Canoe trail
This is a full two day safari, and a fantastic extension to any safari in the area or to any Victoria Falls stay.
Departing Victoria Falls straight after breakfast you drive far upstream into the Zambezi National Park. Enjoy some game-viewing in the morning, followed by lunch and a safety briefi ng, then head out onto the river for some afternoon canoeing - hopefully seeing wildlife and birds along the way. As you are heading downstream this is not a strenuous paddle, and when you arrive at your camping spot the camp will already be set up on the banks of the river!
The camp has large (3.5m x 6m) tents, each with en-suite facilities. The tents have comfortable camp beds and hot showers will be provided. There is a small messtent for meals with proper chairs and tables - so there is no need to balance a plate on your knees!
Your second day begins with a bush walk with a professional guide followed by brunch and then, in the cool of the afternoon, a downstream paddle to the vehicle for the return transfer to Victoria Falls where you arrive late afternoon.
