We are a travel consultant company in Washington, DC. I recently had the pleasure of booking a group vacation for my clients to Livingstone, Zambia, and I cannot speak highly enough of the exceptional service provided by Little Liz Tours. Their professionalism and dedication to ensuring an unforgettable experience were evident from start to finish. 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. I even provided my client with surprise gifts (Wine for their dinner), helped them apply for a visa, and got them a visa to cross over to Zimbabwe. 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. Their professionalism, expertise, and passion for creating unforgettable experiences make them the ideal choice for travelers seeking an extraordinary adventure. Thank you, Little Liz Tours, for exceeding all expectations and providing my clients with a remarkable vacation experience. I look forward to booking more trips with Little Liz Tours.

Excellent trip. Very knowledgeable guide, the cook Kevin prepared special food for me since I don’t eat red meat or pork and the driver Shimoni has an eagle eye for spotting animals. Lots of early starts and long drives, setting up and breaking down tents, but as they say, “TIA” (this is Africa). Truly a trip of a lifetime!

Fantastic! Afro Honeyguide Adventures headed by Fungay and aided by Innocent had a perfect itinerary setup to see Hwange and Chobe National Parks along with Victoria Falls. All the guides were very informative, personable and accommodating. The lodging at all places was unique and enjoyable, especially the B&B in Kasane which I absolutely loved. My tour in the off-season was an awesome, unforgettable bucket list experience.

How long should I plan to stay in Hwange National Park for a comprehensive experience?
To properly experience Hwange National Park plan for 3-4 days at minimum. Many visitors choose to extend their stay to 5-7 days allowing time to explore the distinct regions of Main Camp Sinamatella and Robins Camp. This duration enables participation in various activities from game drives to walking safaris and night drives. A TourRadar traveler shared: "Our trip was wonderful with enough time to explore different sections of the park." Properties like Somalisa Camp and Nantwich Lodge serve as convenient bases for accessing different areas while longer stays let visitors observe wildlife during peak morning and afternoon hours.

Tours typically include all transportation within the park led by experienced guides who know optimal wildlife viewing routes.
What makes Hwange National Park different from other African safari destinations?

The park's significant elephant population and rich bird diversity with over 400 species set it apart. According to a TourRadar traveler: "Hwange is at its best in the dry season when animals crowd the waterholes." The varied landscape from Kalahari sands in the south to rocky outcrops in the north creates diverse viewing opportunities while lodges like Somalisa Camp enable close wildlife encounters.

Safari days begin at sunrise with a light breakfast followed by morning game drives when animals are most active. Midday brings lunch and downtime at accommodations like Nantwich Lodge.
