Zimbabwe Express really sums up this holiday - it's short but jam packed with amazing experiences. The focus is on Victoria Falls and Hwange National Park, each a highlight in its own right, and you are given ample time to enjoy all to the full. Scenery and wildlife vie for your attention and the accommodation is great too! It's the perfect introduction to the attractions of this beautiful country.

Your adventure begins at Victoria Falls. This iconic sight makes a suitably dramatic backdrop. You'll have a guided tour of the Falls where you can delve into the history while you take in the spectacular site. Lunch is served at the Lookout Café overlooking the Batoka Gorge. The Dusty Road Township Experience is also on the agenda, a dinner here sampling local dishes and learning more about life for the locals. What better way to see the Falls than from the air, so, after a game drive in the Zambezi National Park, we have arranged a helicopter flight for you, it's a memory maker.  The final unforgettable experience in Victoria Falls is a sunset and dinner cruise on the Zambezi River.

Next you visit Hwange, Zimbabwe's largest national park, where you take part in that quintessential safari activity, the 4x4 game drive, exploring the varied terrain and marvelling at the profuse wildlife. While you are here you will also get the opportunity to take a guided walk, it's a game-changer. Should the grasses be too high, then take yourself off to the waterhole hide and get up close to the wildlife as it comes down to the water to drink - oblivious to your presence.

Your accommodation has been selected not only for their locations and but also for their style, size and service. At each you have a lovely en-suite room with your own deck allowing you some all-important privacy. Social areas are sited to make the most of the views with firepits and pools luring you outdoors.

By the end of your holiday you will feel that you really have been treated to a wonderful introduction to Zimbabwe, we think you'll be back for more.
