Explore all the very best that Zimbabwe has to offer with this Classic Zimbabwe Package. Visiting three of Zimbabwe’s top regions; Hwange, Matusadona (Kariba) and Mana Pools National Parks, with this unforgettable safari! A 8 or 9 night tour in 3 exclusive safari camps with 3 free flights! Zimbabwe is a landlocked country in southern Africa lying between the Limpopo and Zambezi Rivers and known for its dramatic landscape and diverse wildlife, much of it within parks, reserves and safari areas.
The Classic Zimbabwe Package runs from 1st May – 31st October every year. This is because the camp used in Mana Pools is closed in the wet season. We can tweak it to use another camp/destination outside of these times. Also, John’s Camp allows children of 12 years or more so we can use another camp if you have younger children. Or, you can do the Hwange and Kariba combination package.

Classic Zimbabwe Package Itinerary
Day 1 – 3: The Hide
The Hide Safari Camp is situated on its own private concession, a 5 km square area in Zimbabwe’s largest national park Hwange. This means the range of activities on offer is wider and more exciting. During the course of your stay, you can do as much or as little as you like! A walking safari in the bush with your guide. You’ll discover it’s less about the Big Five and more about making a connection that’s personal. A game drive into the evening after a well deserved sundowner gives one the chance to experience wild nocturnal activity that you don’t get the chance to see elsewhere.
The scope and scale of Hwange’s wildlife is such that there is generally always something to see. There is no limit on the number of activities you can do. So if you can’t sit still, you could do an early morning walk. Followed by a morning drive after breakfast. In the afternoon you could head out again, stopping off for a sundowner, followed by a night drive back to camp.
Hwange National Park occupies roughly 14,650 sq. km. Visitors to Hwange are guaranteed to see an incredible range of wildlife, with over 100 species of mammals and nearly 400 bird species recorded.
Day 4 – 6: Changa Safari Lodge
Perfectly set in a remote and secluded part of the Matusadona National Park lies Changa Safari Camp. During your time here, there are several activities on offer. From early morning game walks, fishing for the famed fighting tiger fish and photographing wildlife whilst on a game drive. These are just a few of the adventures you can partake in. For those that want to take some time out to relax, you do not have to venture too far from camp to see wildlife as there are regular visitors. Including elephants, bush babies, monkeys, squirrels and on the rare occasion, a resident leopard.
Matusadona National Park is situated in the northern region of Zimbabwe on the southern shore of Lake Kariba. Matusadona was proclaimed a non-hunting area in 1958 before being declared a game reserve in 1963. Later, in 1975, it became a national park and today covers an area of 1,400 sq. km of both rugged, mountainous hill tops and flat grass plains and lake frontage, all rich in flora and fauna.
Day 7 – 9: John’s Camp
Mana Pools National Park is on the banks of the mighty Zambezi River where you will find John’s Camp which is the last stop on your Classic Zimbabwe safari.
A typical day on safari at John’s Camp starts with a wake up call just before sunrise for a quick lite breakfast before heading out for your activity, either a walking safari, exploring the magical wonders of Mana Pools or game drive into the wilderness. Once back in camp, and after a hearty meal, you can choose to have a siesta before the next game drive or fish from the banks of the river. Head out again for an afternoon of game viewing as the day cools down, giving you a chance to see the animals unwind as well as the opportunity to see some nocturnal wildlife before your return. A sundowner or two are always a must and can be enjoyed while out on your afternoon game drive or back in camp.
Mana Pools National Park is a beautiful 2,196 sq. km wildlife conservation area in northern Zimbabwe. Mana means “four” in Shona, (one of the main languages in Zimbabwe). It refers to the number of large permanent pools left by the Zambezi River as it flows into the flood plain.
