Hwange & Chizarira Walkabout

The Ultimate Zimbabwe Walking Safari

This is the APSG ultimate Zimbabwe walking safari. If the full 11 days is too much, you can do just the 5-day Hwange or 6-day Chizarira.

Chizarira Trail - Chiz Trail (Call today for a quote: 800-372-3274)

Day 1,2 - Northern Chizarira
We have an early start from Victoria Falls to Chizarira National Park . Chizarira is the most remote and least visited park in Zimbabwe . The first 2 nights are spent on the rugged northern escarpment overlooking the Zambezi Valley . The escarpment is dissected by numerous 400-meter gorges and the camps are situated in locations described as the most awe inspiring.

Day 3 to 6 - Southern Chizarira
The next four days are spent in the South of the park. The south is very diverse with wide-open plains, Mopane forest, and acacia lined sand rivers with rocky spring fed gorges.
Chizarira is without a doubt the best walking area in the country. It has a healthy population of elephant, buffalo, and antelope, and arguably the best leopard population in Zimbabwe . The lion population is relatively small but due to tracking skills of the Matabele tracker sightings are common.
For genuine wilderness experience Chizarira is without equal.

Day 7 - Hwange East
A mid morning transfer from Victoria Falls to Hwange National Park to connect with the safari arriving from Chizarira at midday.
Hwange is the premier park in Zimbabwe and has a wealth of wildlife. The elephant population is world-renowned, there is no walking in the eastern Main Camp side of the park but the animals are habituated to vehicles and game viewing and photographic opportunities are excellent.
The first night is spent in an exclusive campsite. The countryside is flat and covered by hardwood forests intersected y drainage lines and water holes.

Day 8,9 - Hwange West
On the second day the safari drives through the North West section of the park to the Sinamatella area, this is a walking area and home to Rhino protection area. Camping is in well-sited exclusive locations. This area is well known for its Rhino population. Although Hwange is a more traveled tourist destination the game is among the best in the country.

Day 10 - Hwange to Zambezi National Park
On the fourth day the safari drives through the Matetsi wildlife area to the Zambezi National Park. The ark is situated up stream from Victoria Falls for 40 kilometres along the ZaUezi River . This spectacular river alone is worth a visit and is complimented by a diverse wildlife population that is varied and easy to approach. The camp is situated on the edge of the river, well sited to take advantage of spectacular Dawns. The walking is in the South of the park along spring fed drainage lines that attract numerous animals. It is not uncommon to have elephant herds pass through the camp to drink and bathe in the river.

Day 11 - Zambezi Victoria Falls
The morning is spent on early morning drives and walks. After breakfast the safari takes a leisurely drive back to Victoria Falls with another short walk to arrive in time for lunch at your hotel. The safari officially ends at midday. The safari is broken into two sections as not everyone has time to do the entire safari. However we do suggest that to get a complete African experience both sections should be incorporated into your safari should your time permit.
