Day 1, Victoria Falls

Today you will have a chance to do a few of the optional activities on offer in this adventure paradise. The Falls can be seen from many viewing points in the Victoria Falls Park or from the Zambian side. You will have many photo opportunities. Bungee jumping enthusiasts can take the plunge from the Zambezi Bridge, which connects Zambia and Zimbabwe and the White water rafting is considered world class. Also, flights over the Vic Falls and the islands are available.

Day 2, Victoria Falls to Bulawayo

From the adrenaline capital of Africa we head south west towards Zimbabwe's second largest city of Bulawayo. Here we will have the option to explore some of Africa's finest arts and crafts at the many local markets.

Day 3, Bulawayo

Here we visit the Matobo National Park which is renowned for its many leopards, black eagles and rhino. Many caves and rock paintings are evidence of the ancient San inhabitants in this area and Cecil Rhodes (after whom Rhodesia was named) was buried here at his own request.

Day 4, Bulawayo to Gweru

We head to the famous Antelope Park in Gweru where we will have the rare opportunity to walk with Lion cubs, swim with Elephants or go horse riding.

Day 5, Gweru

Spend the day at leisure or try one of the many activities that are available: try your hand at fishing, elephant riding, walk with lions, the list is endless - you can even swim with elephants, assuming it is warm enough to do so!

Day 6 to 7, Gweru to Vilanculos

Continuing westward across Zimbabwe we enter Mozambique and arrive at the beautiful coastline of Vilanculos. We notice a complete contrast in scenery, culture and climate from the landlocked Zimbabwe to the tropical Mozambique.

Day 8, Vilanculos to Bazaruto

We sail on a traditional Dhow to the stunning islands of the Bazaruto Archipelago where we can snorkel, swim and soak up the sun. Tropical waters and gorgeous coral and reef life make for a amazing day!

Day 9, Vilanculos to Inhambane

Heading south through the beautiful coconut plantations brings us to the old European settlement of Inhambane arriving in the early afternoon.

Day 10, Inhambane

A free day to enjoy some of the optional activities available. Try your hand at Scuba Diving, Quad Biking, Fishing, Horse Riding or take a Boat Cruise on the bay. If that sounds like too much work then just relax on the white sand beaches with a good book or your journal.

Day 11, Inhambane to Maputo

Leaving the white sand beaches and laid back vibe of Inhambane we travel further south and discover the hustle and bustle of the capital - Maputo. Spend the afternoon exploring this historic African city.

/images/flickr/Photo_of_Maputo/3343391227_s.jpg

Day 12, Maputo to Kruger National Park

We depart from the hustle and bustle of Maputo, cross back into South Africa and enter Kruger National Park - home of the Big 5! We spend our time game driving before arriving at our camp. Optional, guided Night and Dawn Game Drives are available.

Day 13, Kruger National Park to Hazyview

The day is spent exploring the world renowned Kruger Park. 60km wide and over 350km long this conservation area has more than 23000 plant, 500 bird, 49 fish, 33 amphibian, 114 reptile and over 146 mammal species on record. You will have a full day game drive and then also the option of a night game drive.

/images/flickr/Photo_of_Hazyview_South_Africa/3350383521_s.jpg

Day 14, Hazyview to Johannesburg

After a delicious campfire breakfast, we start our journey to Johannesburg. We drive through amazing and ever changing scenery before entering Johannesburg and ending our trip.
