Overview

Just minutes from Victoria Falls lies the Zambezi National Park, a wildlife haven stretching along the mighty Zambezi River. This half-day safari is the perfect way to experience the thrill of the African bush without traveling far.

Climb aboard an open 4x4 safari vehicle and set out on a guided game drive through teak woodlands, mopane forests, and open savannah. Keep your eyes peeled for elephants, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, impalas, and lions, along with an incredible diversity of birdlife. The Zambezi River provides a stunning backdrop, where hippos and crocodiles are often seen basking on the banks.

Whether you choose a morning game drive (with sunrise views and bush coffee) or an afternoon drive (ending with sundowners by the river), this is a safari experience that delivers big wildlife in a short time frame.
