Zimbabwe Safari Tours
Zimbabwe puts you right there with elephants in Hwange National Park, gets you up close to Victoria Falls when it's roaring, and sends you down the Zambezi River on rafts. The wilderness areas here show off geological formations you don't see elsewhere, villages welcome visitors, and camping under African skies means stars in numbers that seem impossible if you're used to city lights.

What our customers ask about Zimbabwe Safari Tours
What are the best months to visit Zimbabwe for wildlife viewing?
Zimbabwe's wildlife viewing peaks during the dry season from July to October. During these months Hwange National Park sees large concentrations of elephants and other big game gathering around water sources. The drier conditions at Victoria Falls allow better views of the rock formations. A TourRadar traveler who visited Hwange in October noted: "I had a wonderful time in Hwange! The wildlife viewing exceeded my expectations and my guide Bothwell was fantastic at tracking and spotting animals."
What types of accommodation options are available on Zimbabwe safari tours?
From basic tented camps to high-end lodges Zimbabwe's safari accommodations fit various budgets and preferences. The A'Zambezi River Lodge provides modern rooms with river views near Victoria Falls. Flatdogs Camp in South Luangwa features standard rooms and luxury tents. For those seeking a closer connection to nature Camp Zambezi in Mana Pools offers mobile tented camps.

How much does a typical Zimbabwe safari cost and what's included?
Daily safari costs in Zimbabwe range from $175-500 based on accommodation type and included activities. Standard packages cover lodging meals game drives park entrance fees and guide services. A 4-day Victoria Falls and Hwange package typically costs around $999. Additional costs include drinks gratuities and flights. One TourRadar traveler reported: "The value was excellent - we got more than what we paid for with amazing game drives great food and comfortable accommodation at the N1 Hotel."
How many days should I plan for a Zimbabwe safari?
A well-rounded Zimbabwe safari needs 4-7 days at minimum. Short tours often split 4 days between Victoria Falls and Hwange National Park. Longer 7-10 day itineraries let visitors explore additional areas like Mana Pools and Lake Kariba. The 7-Day Hwange Walking & Mobile Camping Safari shows different sections of the park. A TourRadar traveler shared: "Our 4-day tour was well-paced with enough time to see both Victoria Falls and experience amazing wildlife in Hwange National Park."
What is the typical daily schedule like on a Zimbabwe safari in Hwange National Park?
Safari days in Hwange start around 5:30 AM with morning game drives when animals gather at watering holes. Guests at places like Ivory Lodge return for breakfast followed by pool time during midday heat. Afternoon drives begin near 3:30 PM catching animals' evening activities. The day ends with sunset drinks and dinner under the stars. According to one TourRadar traveler: "The schedule was perfect - morning drives let us see predators in action while afternoon drives gave us amazing elephant sightings at the waterholes. The evening gatherings around the fire pit at Ivory Lodge were magical for sharing the day's adventures."
What's the best way to combine Victoria Falls with a safari experience?
Victoria Falls pairs naturally with Hwange National Park located just 2 hours away by road. The 4-Day Victoria Falls and Hwange Safari combines both staying at N1 Hotel in Victoria Falls. Activities include guided tours of the falls sunset river cruises and full-day safaris. A TourRadar traveler noted: "Starting at Victoria Falls then heading to Hwange was perfect - we got to experience both the falls' majesty and incredible wildlife viewing."
