View wildlife on game drives, walking safaris, boating trips and canoe excursions - all part of an exciting African safari.

Day 1: Visit the Mighty Smoke That Thunders
- Itinerary
  Transfer from the Victoria Falls Airport to the renowned Victoria Falls Hotel, which was for many years the preferred destination for visiting Royal families, heads of state and celebrities.
  Enjoy views of the Victoria Falls bridge and the gorge - the gateway to 'The Smoke that Thunders' - a sight to behold. The Falls can even be enjoyed from the air; charter flights, micro-light trips and helicoptor rides can all be arranged.
  Enjoy the views from The Terrace or enjoy an a-la-carte dinner in the elegant Livingstone Room. Relax in your Edwardian-styled suite, or in the lush gardens of the estate.
- Accommodation
  Victoria Falls Hotel
  A famous, historic hotel at the Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe.

Days 2-4: Explore the Plains of Hwange
- Itinerary
  Leave the thundering Victoria Falls behind as you take a light aircraft transfer from the airport to Makalolo Plains Camp, located in the Hwange National Park.
  The entire camp is set on raised wooden platforms, and the boardwalks provide excellent views of the waterhole and floodplains stretching out in front of the camp.
  Spend your time here on early morning and late afternoon game drives, where you'll have the opportunity to see large numbers of elephant and buffalo gather at the waterholes.
  Get your heart racing with a foot safari, a guided bush walk through the park with an armed ranger, or view game close-up from the bunker hide at the camp waterhole.
- Accommodation
  Makalolo Plains
  Superior tented camp situated in a private concession in the Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe.

Days 5-7: Search for Predators in Ruckomechi

  Fly north-east to the intimate Ruckomechi Camp, situated on the western boundary of the Mana Pools National Park with superb views of the Zambezi River.
  A diverse number of activities are available, including daily game drives in open-air vehicles, guided bush walks with an armed guide, and wildlife viewing from canoes and pontoon boats.
  Large predators such as lion, leopard, cheetah and the endangered wild dog are often sighted - an exhilarating feeling when on foot in the park.
  During the day relax in the infinity pool and watch the elephants below, before spending your evenings on the Ruchomechi star-gazing deck.
