Victoria Falls | Zambia
Locally known as Mosi-Oa-Tunya – “the smoke that thunders”- Victoria Falls is the world’s largest curtain of falling water. Seeing, hearing, and feeling its power is something your family will never forget.
This is Africa’s adventure capital. Fly above the falls, try white-water rafting, go bungee jumping, or visit Devil’s Pool at the waterfall’s edge. For something slower, enjoy canoeing, fishing, or sunset cruises on the Zambezi River.
Back at the lodge, relax by the pool or unwind in the spa and gym. Whether you’re chasing thrills or sipping sundowners, Victoria Falls is the perfect family finale.
Hwange National Park | Zimbabwe
Located in western Zimbabwe, Hwange National Park is the country’s largest protected wilderness, covering an impressive 3.5 million acres of grasslands and mopane woodlands. The park is home to an estimated 40,000 elephants, making it one of Africa’s most important elephant strongholds and the second-largest population on the continent after Chobe National Park in Botswana.
Hwange also offers excellent predator sightings, with opportunities to track wild dogs, lions, and other large carnivores across its vast, unfenced landscapes.
Lower Zambezi | Zambia
Set along the northern bank of the Zambezi River, Lower Zambezi National Park is an untamed wilderness known for its riverine woodlands, towering ana trees, and abundant big game. This region offers one of Africa’s most immersive river-based safari experiences.
Explore on foot with expert guides in search of elephant, wild dog, and leopard, or paddle quietly through tranquil channels on a canoe safari. Boating safaris provide yet another perspective on this dynamic landscape, while handpicked luxury lodges offer seclusion, comfort, and front-row views of Zambia’s wild beauty.
Lower Zambezi | Zambia
Known as the birthplace of walking safaris and often called the Valley of the Leopards, South Luangwa National Park is one of Africa’s most rewarding wildlife destinations. The park is home to lion, leopard, wild dog, hyena, and the endemic Thornicroft’s giraffe, found nowhere else in the world.
Explore the bush on foot with expert guides, unwind with in-room spa treatments, or experience a night under canvas with fly camping. Handpicked luxury lodges offer seclusion, comfort, and front-row access to one of Africa’s last truly wild landscapes.
