Outstanding and intensive wilderness safari through the great rivers and lakes, on foot, by boat and in canoe on Zambezi River. Superb game sightings and nature walks, combined with relaxation of boatcruise on Lake Kariba. Time to slow down and unwind in unspoilt and remote wilderness areas of this part of Zambezi River, without lacking on comfort.
This region of Lower Zambezi National Park is still very remote and one of the most scenic and unspoilt wilderness areas in Africa. For 3 days enjoy beautiful photo opportunities with close up game viewing by boat, canoe and game walks. From the boat spot elephants and hippos grazing along the river. From here you cross the border to Zimbabwe. A rough stretch of dirt roads takes you into the next paradise on the river, a beautifully located camp in Mana Pools National Park. You are now on the other side of the Zambezi River. This National Park is famous for large pods of hippos, large crocodiles and during the dry season buffalo and elephants. The “pools” are ideal for game watching, so you will be experiencing a walking safari in the middle of this wildlife heaven and will be going on extensive game drives as well. Overnights in comfortable tented camps or lodges will be followed by bushcamping in comfort tents on special campsites at the shores of the mighty Zambezi. On the boat and on land enjoy beautiful African night skies, filled with stars at Matusadona National Park. On game walks and game drives you will spot various elephant, buffalo and lion.
The off-the beaten track and unusual routing of this tour will guarantee you diverse game sightings, short driving distances between highlights and beautiful landscapes. This is African Wilderness at its Best!
