Explore the world-famous Victoria Falls before experiencing true safari highlights in Hwange National Park. Listen to the thunderous roar of the waterfalls’ cascading waters, and then the enigmatic roar of lions in a remote corner of Zimbabwe’s biggest national park. This area is for true adventurers yearning to venture off the beaten track and discover an area that is seemingly endless grasslands, rocky outcrops and the densest lion population in the whole of the park. Be one of the very first to experience Nantwich, a new luxury eco-lodge. Set on a hill overlooking the vast plains below, watch from your private patio as the abundant wildlife comes and goes to the natural rhythms of the wild.

Safari begins and ends in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe

Day 1 & 2

Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe

Overnight: Victoria Falls Hotel

Victoria Falls is a town on the rise, no longer the dusty outpost of a previous era, it’s where you will find charming cafes and a host of activities along the Zambezi River, and of course the majestic Victoria Falls. Perhaps take a historical tour of the bridge and be transported back to the early 1900s when steel, structural engineering, and pure boldness created an architectural marvel. In the evening as the sun lowers on the horizon, enjoy a romantic journey on the Zambezi River in a handcrafted dhow that sails upriver as you savour the natural beauty of your surroundings.

Day 3

Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe

Overnight: Nantwich, Hwange

We welcome you to untamed Africa at its best. A place that time seemingly forgot and where wildlife has ruled supreme. Comfortable and chic chalets provide a grandstand view over a dam that draws large herds of buffalo and the predators that follow them – you might just be in for a showdown right on your doorstep. Explore the many tracks and trails of this secluded area keeping a look out for the tell-tale silhouette of leopard’s legs dangling from branches overhead or lions lounging in tall grass prey such as Roan or Sable antelope. In the evenings reminisce with your fellow travellers over the day’s highlights while dining on sumptuous fare in our open plan kitchen and restaurant that provides an intimate and lively atmosphere.

Day 4 & 5

Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe

Overnight: Nantwich, Hwange

While the lodge itself offers magnificent game-viewing from almost all areas, there’s still much more to discover. Our skilled guides are excited to take you out on exhilarating game drives through the wild African bush, enjoying the opportunity to share their expert insight and help you connect with your surroundings. For a truly immersive safari experience, enjoy a guided bush walk in this particularly beautiful part of Hwange. Listen out for the distinctive chirps of the Meyer’s parrots flying through the area or observe the cunning Fork-tailed Drongo steal food from other birds or even screech out a warning relishing in its role as watchdog for other species. A delicious picnic in the heart of the bush is an opportunity to reflect on the splendour of this unspoiled wilderness.
