The nine thatched rooms and suites combine luxury with the natural environment incorporating the rocks into the structure of the rooms.  The main lodge areas enjoy panoramic views of the hills and guests can relax in the cosy library, choose a wine from the cave wine cellar or take a swim in the pool overlooking a waterhole. The lodge also offers spa treatments for those wishing to include a little pampering with their game viewing and sight seeing experience in the Motopos.

Today you will transfer by road to Hwange National Park for a three night stay at Khulu Bush Camp on full board basis with local drinks, park fees and game activities (game drives and walks) included. Set within a private concession adjacent to Hwange National Park, Khulu Bush Camp is the smaller, smarter sister of Ivory Lodge. Perfect for couples, this intimate lodge has just six rooms and the waterhole and ancient riverbed in front of camp allow close up views of a steady procession of game including the herds of elephant that Hwange is so famous for. Watch out for elephants drinking from the pool!

Zambezi Sands River Camp, Victoria Falls

Today you will travel by road to Victoria Falls and a three night stay at Zambezi Sands River Camp on full board basis with local drinks, park fees and activities included. Rather than staying in the busy tourist town of Victoria Falls, retreat upriver to Zambezi Sands which enjoys a lovely, peaceful location on the banks of the Zambezi river. The huge tents offer space and privacy with a lounge area and a splash pool on the deck overlooking the river. While you will want to visit the falls themselves and maybe enjoy some of the other activities in the area such as helicopter trips and white water rafting for the adventurous, the camp offers a number of ways to explore the river and the National Park including sunset cruises, canoeing and game drives and walks with an expert guide.
