The complete Zimbabwe in 11 days: from Hwange to Mana Pools
This 11-day itinerary is the most ambitious Fundis'Africa offers in Zimbabwe. It covers the country's four major zones and culminates with Mana Pools, one of the most intense safari experiences on the continent.
Victoria Falls and the Lower Zambezi
The first stage combines the spectacle of Victoria Falls with canoe safaris on the Lower Zambezi, two experiences unlike anything else in southern Africa.
Hwange
Hwange boasts the highest concentrations of elephants in Zimbabwe, with scenes of spectacular wildlife density around waterholes during the dry season. Its private concessions allow for night drives and approaches off marked tracks.
Mana Pools: The Pinnacle
Mana Pools, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the defining experience of this itinerary. The Zambezi Valley floodplain, elephants rearing up on their hind legs to reach the fruit of tall trees, lions that have learned to climb: these scenes, unique to Zimbabwe, are the highlight of a great African journey. Canoe safaris on the Zambezi, among hippos and crocodiles, complete the experience with rare intensity.
