Zimbabwe Family Safari

As you arrive at Victoria Falls, the anticipation of your family safari adventure begins. Your journey takes you to Somalisa Acacia Camp, where you'll spend the next three nights. Nestled beneath the dappled shade of an Acacia grove, the camp offers a unique opportunity to be in the largest natural reserve in Zimbabwe. With the spectacular Hwange National Park as your backdrop, you'll quickly understand that meeting an elephant in your backyard is not a fanciful notion but a reality. The main camp area, adorned with Acacia trees, sets a tranquil atmosphere with a lounge, dining room, boma, and the captivating elephant drinking pool, a distinct feature. This evening, soak in the charm of this incredible location and prepare for the days ahead.

Renowned for its vast elephant and buffalo herds, rare antelope species, and a concentration of large predators, including lion, leopard, wild dog, hyena, and cheetah, Hwange promises incredible wildlife encounters. With over 400 bird species recorded, birders will be delighted by the park's avian diversity. Your safari activities include morning and afternoon game drives, walking safaris, birding, and cultural visits, all led by knowledgeable guides who are passionate about sharing their love for the bush with your family.

Continue your wildlife adventure in Hwange.

After your last morning activity and a hearty breakfast, you'll depart via a small plane flight to your next destination: Bumi Hills Safari Lodge at Lake Kariba.

Today, Lake Kariba becomes your playground. Cruise on the water or set out on a walking safari to discover ancient secrets within fossilized dinosaur footprints unique to this area. Your activities include guided walking safaris, stargazing, boating, birding, catch-and-release fishing, and day and night game drives searching for lions, among other exciting wildlife.

For a full-day walking safari, you can pre-book a private walking guide.
