Day 3: Victoria Falls – Hwange National Park

Game drives are customized to match the interests of our guests. One of the most popular focuses of these drives is the search for the endangered Black Rhino. While their population on this reserve is healthy, the rhinos have a large territory in which to roam. As a result, finding them is not guaranteed, but there is a good chance of spotting them during your drive.

After your early morning game drive in the Victoria Falls Private Game Reserve, you will be transferred by road to Hwange National Park, which is a three-hour drive south of Victoria Falls. Hwange National Park, the largest national park in Zimbabwe, is another exceptional destination in Africa, brimming with diverse wildlife. You will arrive in the afternoon and enjoy an exciting game drive as you travel to your accommodations. In the evening, you will check in at the Miombo Safari Camp, have dinner, and spend the rest of the night around a roaring campfire before turning in for the night.
