Zimbabwe Safari and Victoria Falls (5 Nights)

5 Night Zimbabwe Safari and Victoria Falls Package that spends three nights at Imbabala Lodge (Including a Chobe Day Trip) & two nights at either The Elephant Camp or Old Drift Lodge.

Elephant Camp and Old Drift Lodge are all-inclusive luxury camps in Victoria Falls; that offer the convenience of being close enough to the Falls however away from the hustle and bustle of town.

Imbabala Lodge is closer to the Botswana border than the town of Victoria Falls itself and offers a myriad of activities including tiger fishing; which has become such a sought after activity in the Zambezi region. It offers not only the opportunity to relax; but also some of the best game viewing and bird watching in the region; all in the seclusion of a private National Parks concession. The 5,000 acre concession borders the Chobe Forest Reserve; which is home to a vast elephant population, and has 14 kilometers of private Zambezi River frontage.
