Days 1–3 Matobo National Park After arriving in Bulawayo, you continue to Matobo Hills National Park, where you spend the next three nights. Your accommodation blends harmoniously into the granite boulders, offering an unforgettable experience in the heart of a landscape of incredible beauty. Discover Matobo Hills National Park on exciting game drives or a guided bush walk. The park is known for its historic Bushman rock paintings, which are more than 2,000 years old. From ‘View of the World’, the burial site of Cecil Rhodes, you enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view of the landscape. On a visit to a traditional village, you have the opportunity to learn more about the local culture and way of life. Overnight at Amalinda Lodge or similar.

Days 4–6 Hwange National Park Your journey continues north towards Hwange National Park. You spend the night in a treehouse in a private reserve bordering the wildlife-rich Hwange National Park. The following days are devoted to exciting game drives and bush walks, during which you may encounter huge herds of elephants as well as the ‘Big Five’: lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants and buffalo. Overnight at Ivory Lodge or similar.

Days 7–8 Victoria Falls Today you fly by light aircraft to Victoria Falls to discover the majestic falls. Admire this natural wonder in all its splendour on foot or, optionally, on a helicopter flight for a breathtaking view of the falls.
