Journey in Detail
On this Tailormade journey, get a step closer to nature and enjoy
the thrilling experience and adventure of tracking animals on foot.
Traversing through areas that are home to Africa’s Big Five
with a knowledgeable specialist guide will make spending a few
hours with a herd of buffalo or a solitary elephant bull in Mana
Pools or tracking the rare and elusive Black Rhinoceros in Matusadonha
National Park seem like a walk in the park. Well it is...
Mobile Tented
Camp, Mana Pools National Park - 3 nights
Guests arrive at Victoria Falls international airport and after
being met by their private guide for a light aircraft transfer
to Mana Pools for 3 adventure filled days. Mana Pools is known
for its old and ever confident but friendly elephant bulls that
wander in search of the nutritious acacia pods in the dry months.
With the relaxed wildlife atmosphere in Mana Pools, on foot adventures
with cats, dogs and herbivores will characterise this safari. From
the low communication rumble to the trumpet of joy at the water’s
edge, spending the day with a small herd or solitary elephant will
provide an experience and education that words cannot describe.
The acceptance of our presence by one of these giants after a few
hours is evident and communicated to any other elephants in the
area. After a few days of unique experiences in Mana a light air
transfer will have the adventure leading the party to Matusadonha
National Park on Lake Kariba.
Rhino Island Camp, Matusadonha National Park - 3 nights
Matusadonha National Park is one of the last sanctuaries of the endangered black
rhino, one of whom frequents the environs of the Rhino Camp on almost a daily
basis to browse and drink from the lake. At the crack of dawn you will leave
the camp in search of fresh tracks and once these have been located, the adventure
starts. Wind direction, cover and stealth are all factors that will be put into
consideration and practice in order to create a reward that is experienced by
very few guests on safari. Elephant bulls, antelope and predators are also encountered
on these walks. Accommodating a maximum of twelve guests Rhino Camp provides
the perfect atmosphere for such a thrilling adventure.
Somalisa Camp, Hwange National Park – 3 nights
After your stay in Matusadonha, you will fly to Hwange for a three-night stay
at Somalisa Bush Camp. Set in the heart of Hwange National Park, known as the
land of the giants for its large elephant herds, Somalisa is an authentic bush
camp, a blend of old African charm and elegance together with an exclusive safari
experience. Its stunning location tucked away in an acacia island along the edge
of an ancient seasonal flood plain gives it breath taking views of the savannah
plains of the famous Kennedy vlei line. At Somalisa Camp, you will experience
the heightened romance of the African bush. Six elegantly furnished canvas tents
with en suite bathrooms, flush toilet and romantic alfresco bush shower make
up this camp. The decor echoes of an old era, from colonial to the ancient tribes
of Africa, telling the story from all corners of this magnificent continent.
It’s stunning main area and pool lends to complete relaxation with a difference
as wildlife often congregates in large herds, offering rare moments of an outstanding
nature.
At mealtimes you will discover new and seasonal flavours, which the imaginative
chef will present you with, accompanied by a selection of South Africa wines.
Activities include guided walks, game drives, spot lighting and game viewing
from a platform. The permanent waterholes in this area are the only water for
miles in the dry season resulting in a large concentration and variety of wildlife.
Victoria Falls Safari Lodge - 2 nights
At the end of your stay at Somalisa Camp, we drive to the famous Victoria Falls
where 3 nights and 2 full days are spent to allow for a tour of the mighty Victoria
Falls, a bit of African Art shopping and the cultural and extreme activities
that this part of the Zambezi has to offer. On the list are bungee jumping, gorge
swing, white-water rafting, skydiving, helicopter and micro-light flights above
the falls and elephant back safaris. An optional traditional “Boma” dinner
is a cultural highlight with a large selection of African delicacies and game
meat on offer accompanied by a traditional performance.
