Safari Tours & Trips in Zimbabwe
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.

First 14 day Zimbabwe tour after Covid slowed down. A few events were unavailable but we made the best of it. I wish the Houseboat float on Lake Kariba could have happened, it would have been fun and saved us a long difficult drive. The remainder of the trip was awesome. Travelling and Camping with Bronah and Michael was a wonderful experience. Mana Pools, Great Zimbabwe, Matobo NP and Hwange were all amazing. We cooked, cleaned and managed each campsite together and shared a great experience. I would recommend this tour to any adventurous soul. A great time!!!

Little Liz Tours went above and beyond to tailor the perfect itinerary for my clients, ensuring they experienced the best of Livingstone and its surrounding attractions. From exhilarating safaris to breathtaking views of Victoria Falls, every aspect of their journey was meticulously planned and executed flawlessly, including a doma dinner and a helicopter tour of Victoria Falls. The driver, Mr. Mudenda was an outstanding gentleman, very friendly, and made my client feel comfortable and made their vacation unforgettable. Thank you so much, Mr. Mudenda. What truly set Little Liz Tours apart was their unparalleled attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction. They anticipated my clients' needs every step of the way, ensuring they felt comfortable, safe, and well taken care of throughout their entire stay. I want to give a shout-out to Ms. Bronah, who curated the itinerary and provided outstanding customer service and prompt communication.

Thanks to Little Liz Tours, my clients had an exceptional time in Livingstone, Zambia, and they returned home with memories that will last a lifetime. I wholeheartedly recommend Little Liz Tours to anyone planning a vacation to Botswana, Zambia, or Zimbabwe.

The wildlife viewing exceeded my expectations and my guide Bothwell was fantastic at tracking and spotting animals."

How many days should I plan for a Zimbabwe safari?

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.
