Zimbabwe and Tanzania Safari Ideas

The Great Wildebeest Migration and a Seventh Wonder of the Natural World…Does it get any better?

Victoria Falls now has direct flights to Nairobi on an almost daily basis. This is fantastic news for the safari enthusiast who can now, with much greater ease, travel to the phenomenal game parks of East Africa and one of the seven wonders of the world - Victoria Falls.

We had a chance meeting with Victor Nyakiriga from Topguides Safaris, who runs personalised, fully guided safaris through Tanzania. Victor knows Tanzania and we know Zimbabwe and we are very excited to offer a small selection of itineraries that link these two bucket list adventures. Please take a look below.

Of course, it doesn't have to stop there, Victoria Falls also has direct flights to Cape Town, so if you want to visit all three iconic destinations, please don't hesitate to contact us so we can package that together for you.

For those who are familiar with the safari budget system that we use, the itineraries that you will find here are classified as "Gold". Have a look at our Zimbabwe Safari page for more information about this.
