Dates & Prices

Elephant lovers - this safari is for you! Chobe National Park and Hwange National Park are well known for their large elephant herds and combine wonderfully with Victoria Falls in this 10 day safari.

But, there is much more to Chobe and Hwange than their large herds of elephants. In Chobe, game viewing by boat gives you an entirely different perspective of game as you watch them as they come to the river for a drink. Bird live is simple stunning - with hundreds of species found both near the water and on land. If you are not a "twitcher" before you arrive, you will surely leave with a new appreciation for bird-viewing. Hwange National Park is host to a myriad of game - a wide array of plains game along with the Big Cats. At the Hide, game viewing is your prime focus - weather by vehicle, by foot or patiently waiting for game as you watch from the enclosed hide.

These two amazing parks are joined together with 2 nights in Victoria Falls. As you stand at a lookout out post, with the thundering crescendo of the water crashing into the gorge below and the spray rising up into the air - you will understand how the Falls are called "The Smoke that Thunders."

This safari can be easily customized with your favorite lodges. Why not extend your stay into the Okavango Delta or into Zambia and the South Luangwa. Options are endless.

Day 5  Victoria Falls | Meals: B
Travel by road into Victoria Falls and your luxury lodge nestled in manicured gardens, just minutes from the Falls. Later this afternoon, enjoy a relaxing dinner cruise along the Zambezi River, watching the sun slowly set along the horizon.

Pioneers Victoria Falls



"Pioneers" is the latest gem in the accommodation offerings available in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. A short 2.5 km from the magical Victoria Falls, and situated in a peaceful residential suburb, this lodge is in an ideal location. The nostalgic era of the pioneer explorers has been perfectly blended with modern amenities to meet all the requirements of today's traveller. The property is exclusively reserved for residents which ensures topmost privacy.

Set in lush gardens with beautifully manicured lawns, this fifty room lodge is a great option for those who value comfort and elegance. The rooms are spacious and tastefully decorated in a classic style, and each has a clear and open view of the garden. As well as comfortable furniture, multi plugs and good lighting, they all feature air-conditioners, fans, room safes, mosquito nets and tea/coffee making facilities. Each room has its own bathroom en-suite with shower, toilet and a double vanity unit. Pioneers is a family friendly property with four family rooms available.

The heart of "Pioneers" Lodge is the centrally located main area. The layout and classic d�cor here is extremely welcoming with a serene and stylish lounge which is airy and comfortable, and the rich inside dining room is certainly nostalgic and inviting. The guests also have the option of relaxing and dining on the spacious and expansive terrace, overlooking lush gardens. All areas have overhead fans and are beautifully finished. There is a large saloon style bar area which serves a variety of cold and hot beverages, including local craft beer made from our very own Zambezi water.

In addition to these, a day spa, TV Room and a meetings room are also available on the property.

Conservation and preservation of the environment are so important, and Pioneers is committed to being Environmentally Friendly.

Pioneers also supports local wildlife charities in aid of conservation, anti-poaching, essential research and anti-litter projects, all of which operate in the Victoria Falls region.

Notably, the guests at the Pioneers are at the forefront, and service is something the lodge prides itself on.

Day 7  Hwange National Park | Meals: BLD
Transfer by road into Hwange National Park. Hwange National Park is the largest game reserve in Zimbabwe and has one of the highest mammal diversity of any national park in the world. You will likely see impressive herds of buffalo and elephant, but you might also spot one of the other 100 species found in Hwange: dwarf mongoose, bat-eared fox, spotted hyaena, eland, roan antelope and even white rhino. Your time is not structured in Hwange - you can select up to 4 game viewing activities each day.

The Hide

Accommodation is in 10 large East African style luxury tents under thatch, all overlooking the main waterhole. Each tent has its own en-suite bathroom, consisting of shower, hand basin and flush toilet along with a small teak dressing table and most importantly, piping hot water at night and in the mornings. All tents have been mosquito proofed and have free standing fans. The spacious bedroom areas are very tastefully furnished with solid Zimbabwe Teak furniture and each are individually decorated. There are 7 twin-bedded, 1 double and 2 honeymoon tents. The honeymoon tents have an additional outside bath where guests can relax whilst enjoying the stunning views.

Activities/excursions offered are : Morning or evening guided walks, Morning and afternoon Game Drives, Night drives with spotlight , Underground hides around pans, Bush breakfasts, Overnight sleep-over in the "Doves Nest" Treehouse.

The hub of the camp is a majestic "A" Frame which houses the dining room and sun lounge downstairs and a large comfortable lounge and viewing area upstairs.
  • Early morning tea/coffee is delivered to your tent.

This transfer is conducted in a Hide open Safari vehicle and offers game viewing opportunities.

Day 8 & 9  Hwange National Park | Meals: BLD
Birdlife is equally impressive in Hwange and you might spot the Red-billed Spurfowl, Cut-throat Finch and Southern Pied Babbler. During the summer months, the resident birds are joined by migratory birds like Southern Carmine Bee-eaters, Broad-billed Rollers and Abdims Storks. The Hide has the best of both worlds - while it is located within Hwange National Park, it is also surrounded by a private concession, which allows activities you might not find at other camps. You can relax in the morning and game view in the afternoon or perhaps do an early morning game walk. Whatever you choose, you will not be disappointed.

Carefully placed solar panels are used to harness the power of the sun and covert it to clean energy. Although not totally off the grid yet, most of the lodge runs off solar energy, backed up by generator as a contingency. Pioneers also supports local wildlife charities in aid of conservation, anti-poaching, essential research and anti-litter projects, all of which operate in the Victoria Falls region.

Notably, the guests at the Pioneers are at the forefront, and service is something the lodge prides itself on. From the owners and senior management team, to each and every member of staff at the lodge, the friendly and hospitable team are there to ensure guests are welcomed and comfortable throughout their stay. Certainly a great place to stay in the charming town of Victoria Falls.

Day 7  Hwange National Park | Meals: BLD
Transfer by road into Hwange National Park. Hwange National Park is the largest game reserve in Zimbabwe and has one of the highest mammal diversity of any national park in the world. You will likely see impressive herds of buffalo and elephant, but you might also spot one of the other 100 species found in Hwange: dwarf mongoose, bat-eared fox, spotted hyaena, eland, roan antelope and even white rhino. Your time is not structured in Hwange - you can select up to 4 game viewing activities each day.

Each tent has its own en-suite bathroom, consisting of shower, hand basin and flush toilet along with a small teak dressing table and most importantly, piping hot water at night and in the mornings. All tents have been mosquito proofed and have free standing fans. The spacious bedroom areas are very tastefully furnished with solid Zimbabwe Teak furniture and each are individually decorated. There are 7 twin-bedded, 1 double and 2 honeymoon tents. The honeymoon tents have an additional outside bath where guests can relax whilst enjoying the stunning views.

Activities/excursions offered are : Morning or evening guided walks, Morning and afternoon Game Drives, Night drives with spotlight , Underground hides around pans, Bush breakfasts, Overnight sleep-over in the "Doves Nest" Treehouse.

Day 8 & 9  Hwange National Park | Meals: BLD
Birdlife is equally impressive in Hwange and you might spot the Red-billed Spurfowl, Cut-throat Finch and Southern Pied Babbler. During the summer months, the resident birds are joined by migratory birds like Southern Carmine Bee-eaters, Broad-billed Rollers and Abdims Storks. The Hide has the best of both worlds - while it is located within Hwange National Park, it is also surrounded by a private concession, which allows activities you might not find at other camps. You can relax in the morning and game view in the afternoon or perhaps do an early morning game walk. Whatever you choose, you will not be disappointed.
