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.

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

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?
