Sunset Game Drive in Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park

An afternoon or sunset game drive in Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park is an unforgettable way to experience the wild Zambezi riverbank as daylight turns to dusk. Because the park is compact and predator-free, the animals gather naturally near the water, and the late afternoon light is perfect for photography.

The typical sunset safari runs for 3 hours, often combining traditional 4x4 game viewing with a brief on-foot tracking experience and a riverside toast.

03:30 PM: Lodge Pickup & Transfer
- An open-sided 4x4 safari vehicle will collect you from your resort or lodge in Livingstone or Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. Enjoy the breeze on the short 10 to 15-minute drive to the Wildlife Sector gate.
04:00 PM - 05:00 PM: Golden Hour Game Loop
- Enter the park just as the midday heat breaks. Your expert guide will navigate the riverine loop roads.
- Wildlife Sightings: Look for towers of Angolan giraffes, herds of Cape buffalo, zebras, impalas, and warthogs. This is also the prime window to see elephants wading through the shallow channels or crossing the Zambezi River.
