Falls and Hwange

Victoria Falls & Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe
6 Days · 5 Nights

Journey Overview

Falls and Hwange is for travellers who want the waterfall and a sunset on the Zambezi, then real game-drive country without an internal flight. Two nights in Victoria Falls are followed by three nights at Robins Camp, a revitalised historic camp in the wilder, less-visited north-west of Hwange, about two hours by road from the Falls. Robins is the heart of the safari. The country around it is varied and known for predators, including lion and wild dog. You are on full board, with two game drives a day, and park overnight fees are included in the camp rate used here. Drives tend to feel quieter than the busier Main Camp side of the park. The middle of the day is at camp. Victoria Falls is the easy opening. You stay at 528 Victoria Falls, a leafy bed and breakfast about 2.5 kilometres from town, with breakfast included and time for the rainforest if you pay the entrance locally. One late afternoon is the Ra-Ikane sunset cruise, for a maximum of 16 guests, with drinks, snacks, transfers and cruise park fees. The road transfers between town and Robins are included, out and back. The price shown is the green-season 2027 rate of USD 1,990 per person sharing, when Robins is on its green-season rate: 1 January to 31 May 2027 and 1 November to 31 December 2027. Outside those windows the package is USD 2,390 per person sharing. Minimum two guests. Not included: Victoria Falls rainforest entrance, visas, travel insurance, tips, flights, and meals in town other than breakfast and the snacks on the cruise. This uses the full-board Robins rate with game drives, not the shorter-notice special that leaves park fees out.
