Your 12-day round trip could look like this
Safari start with rhinos & culture
Your family safari in Zimbabwe begins in the Matobo Hills. The hilly granite landscape is perfect for first adventures – calm, historic, and full of contrasts. Together with a guide, you embark on a guided rhino walk. On foot, you follow fresh tracks and observe the animals in their natural habitat. In the following days, you’ll discover millennia-old rock paintings and the UNESCO-protected Khami ruins. The region combines safari, movement, and culture – an ideal introduction for families with children and teenagers.
River safari, active & intense
Mana Pools is a paradise for active safari travelers. The Zambezi River shapes the landscape: wide riverbanks, ancient trees, and wild animals nearby. A safari in Mana Pools means variety – whether by canoe, on foot, or in an open vehicle. Especially families with older children experience adventures at eye level here. Elephants on the riverbank, hippos between the boats, wild dogs on the morning hunt – everything is close, intense, and real. Mana Pools is among the wildest and most impressive safari areas in Zimbabwe.
Elephants, big cats & pure safari
Hwange offers probably the best wildlife observations in Zimbabwe. The park is large, diverse, and particularly known for its herds of elephants. Giraffes, zebras, lions, and leopards are part of the day's program – often right by the waterhole. Families enjoy a variety of safari activities here: morning game drives, bird watching in the afternoon, or relaxing hours overlooking the savannah. For children, it’s a safari to marvel at, for parents a deep immersion into the wilderness – safe, exciting, and full of special encounters.
Natural wonders & special experiences to conclude
At the end of your safari in Zimbabwe, you will experience the world-famous Victoria Falls – a place that impresses both young and old alike. The Zambezi plunges here with tremendous force. A helicopter flight offers spectacular views, and the guided tour along the falls allows you to feel the roar and spray up close. There is much more to discover: boat tours with wildlife observation from the water, easy hiking trails, exciting markets, and a delightful dinner in a historic train. Time spent at Victoria Falls combines wonder, discovery, and shared memories – perfect for families.
Farewell to Zimbabwe & return journey
After eventful days full of encounters, discoveries, and safari adventures, today it's time to say goodbye. Depending on the departure time, there is still time in the morning for a cozy breakfast with a view of the greenery or a short walk along the Zambezi.
