Hidden Zimbabwe Tour

Overview

During these eight days, we will camp close to Matobo Hills, a World Heritage Site. Explore the magnificent granite castle kopjes and track black and white rhinos. Proceed south to Gonarezhou National Park after visiting the Great Zimbabwe Monument outside of Masvingo. Explore this untamed and isolated area of Zimbabwe by going on wildlife drives and hoping to see the Big 5.

Upon arrival, you will be picked up by our guide and transferred to your area of accommodation. Enjoy your first evening on safari in Zimbabwe this evening as you settle in and gaze out over the zebra watering hole.

After having breakfast, we set off to explore Matobo National Park. Take a walking safari with a guide to discover the area's wildlife or go on a more challenging tour to Nanke Cave. Even though tracking black and white rhinos is not a common activity, it is quite possible during this experience.

Today, we set off to visit the neighbouring Matabele town for a cultural experience to experience the culture and traditions of the Zimbabwean people. Families within the communities can choose to host you in their homes and also take you on tours of the nearby orphanage and school. You will also see the last resting place of John Rhodes, or see the little museum by returning to Bulawayo town.

After breakfast, we will set off for the Great Zimbabwe Monument which is one of the most visited tourist destinations in Zimbabwe. The guide will give you a tour of this historical monument and tell you about its history. You can then enjoy a private meal in Masvingo in the evening.

We will make a transfer to Gonarezhou National Park from Masvingo. You will see some of the most pure and untouched wilderness in all of southern Africa during the five-hour drive. Gonarezhou National Park is Zimbabwe's second-largest national park after Hwange and one of the most "wild" regions in the country.

Observe the varied wildlife of Gonarezhou National Park. During your stay, take part in a full-day game-viewing experience. During game drives in the park, you can see some incredible species. See the local birds by visiting the Tambahata Pan, or go to Mahenye Village, which is close by, to get a taste of Shangaan culture.

Today you can relax at the lodge or go on a boat ride on the Save River, fishing, or a stroll to Chivilila Falls can also be scheduled. Another popular experience to enjoy is a full-day trip to the stunning red Chilojo Cliffs. In all of Southern Africa, these cliff faces have some of the most breath taking natural cliff architecture.
