Day 3: Victoria Falls – Hwange National Park

Game Drives are tailored to the guests’ interests, but the most popular focus on this particular
game drive is searching for the endangered Black Rhino. Their population on this reserve is
healthy but they have a big territory in which to roam, so it is certainly not guaranteed that you
will find them but there is also a good chance that you will.

After your early morning game in the Victoria falls private game reserve you will be transferred
by road to Hwange National Park, a 3-hour drive south of Victoria Falls. Hwange National Park,
the biggest national park of Zimbabwe, is another exceptional attraction in Africa that is packed
full of animal species to see. You will arrive in the afternoon and enjoy an exciting game drive as

Safari Camp where you will check-in, have dinner and spend the rest of the evening around a
roaring campfire before you turn in for the night.
