13-Day Zimbabwe Fly-In Safari with Victoria Falls and Mana Pools

On this day, you will arrive at Victoria Falls International Airport. After customs, you will proceed to the arrivals hall, where you will be met by a representative for your drive to Victoria Falls town. Your place of stay for the next three nights will be Victoria Falls Hotel on a bed-and-breakfast basis.

You will be checked in and settled in quickly before your pick-up at 16h30 for your sunset cruise this evening. The cruise will be about 2 hours, and you will be dropped off at the hotel for dinner at your own expense. The driver will ask what time you prefer to be picked up the next morning and, depending on the season and month of travel, this can be anywhere between 7 and 10am, or in the afternoon if preferred.

This morning, you will have breakfast before your pick-up for a tour of the majestic Victoria Falls. The tour will be about two hours, and you will get to walk around and experience one of UNESCO's World Heritage Sites.

You will be given options on where to have lunch, and from there your next activity will be the afternoon game drive, which lasts about 2 hours. A pick-up at 3pm will have you back at the hotel at about 17h00 or 18h00. Options for where to have dinner will be offered, or you can be taken back to the hotel.

Dinner is at your own expense, and overnight is on a bed-and-breakfast basis.

On this day, only one activity is planned: the 12-minute helicopter flight over Victoria Falls. Since you will already have experienced the falls on foot, we highly recommend the flight over Victoria Falls as well.

You will be picked up at an agreed time for the tour and dropped off at the hotel. Other adrenaline activities can be pre-planned, such as bungee jumping, zipline, and a night drive with a rhino encounter, but these are optional and come at an additional cost.

If not, you will be dropped off at the hotel for dinner and overnight. Tomorrow is a big day, as you will leave Victoria Falls for Hwange!

This morning after breakfast, you will be picked up from the hotel for your transfer back to Victoria Falls International Airport. Here, you will be met by your pilot for your short flight to Hwange. Flight times are confirmed 24 hours before, as these are bush planes and operate on schedule.

The flight will be about 30 minutes, and on arrival you will be met by a game drive vehicle for your short transfer to Somalisa Camp. You will check in on arrival, be given an orientation, and settle in before the first activity in this special place of Zimbabwe. There are two options here for activities: either a game drive or a game walk on the property's private concession.
