Hwange is legendary for its wonderful array of wildlife and massive herds of Elephant and Buffalo - especially in the dryer winter months. Makalolo Plains (L,D)

You will have a full day to enjoy game viewing activities with your lodge guide. There are excellent opportunities to view wildlife from open 4x4 Land Rovers during the early morning and late afternoon when animals are most active. Foot safaris are also offered, and are accompanied by an armed professional guide. The camp is set in a unique location, overlooking the Samavundhla Pan that attracts wildlife in good concentrations.

Ruckomechi(B,L,D)

Day 04: Mana Pools National Park
You will have a full day to enjoy game viewing activities with your lodge guide. The focal point at Ruckomechi is the magical Zambezi River, its backwaters, and the surrounding flood plains and forests. Chikwenya Island, just offshore, harbors wonderfully diverse wildlife. The area is a photographer's paradise, as tall Albida trees dot the open flood plains, with the mountains of the Rift Valley providing the backdrop. The area is renowned for its large numbers of Elephant, Buffalo, Hippo, Crocodile, and Eland that concentrate along the river when the inland waterholes dry up - especially in the winter months. Leopard and Lion are present but are not seen as regularly as other wildlife. Ruckomechi Camp (B,L,D)

Walk through the rain forest - a fun experience and quite beautiful.
