Transfer from Ilala Lodge back to Victoria Falls Airport for your light aircraft transfer to Little Makalolo Camp in Hwange for three nights accommodation on a full board basis including daily activities and all local drinks.

Little Makalolo is a comfortable five-roomed tented camp in the heart of Hwange National Park, in one of its best game viewing areas.  Little Makalolo is one of the few camps located within the park, and offers privacy for guests who enjoy small camps and a sense of remoteness. The comfortable tented rooms each have en-suite facilities, including a flush toilet, and shower with hot and cold running water – as well as an outdoor shower under the stars!  The main living area is under canvas and houses the dining room, lounge and pub, and there is a small plunge pool. The camp overlooks a small waterhole and there is a tree house hide where guests can enjoy game viewing during the “siesta” hours. Activities at Little Makalolo centre on game viewing in open 4x4 Land Rovers throughout the Makalolo concession area, as well as walks with armed guides. The area is ecologically diverse, ensuring a varied food “pantry”, which feeds great numbers of animals year round. Makalolo is one of the best areas for predators, Buffalo and Elephant, all featuring regularly in the experience.

Days 5, 6 & 7:

Light aircraft transfer from Little Makalolo to Lake Kariba where you will be met and transferred by road and boat to Matusadona Water Wilderness for three nights accommodation on a full board basis including daily activities and all local drinks.

Matusadona Water Wilderness is a floating safari camp situated just off the shoreline of Lake Kariba, within Matusadona National Park in northern Zimbabwe. The camp consists of unique floating chalets, moored in a secluded bay. Accommodation is in twin bedded rooms each with en-suite flush toilet and shower. Each of the chalets has its own cool verandah with a superb view of the park. Game is often seen from the rooms. The mother craft houses the central bar, lounge and dining area. Access between the chalets and the main area is by pontoon. Game viewing is excellent in this area, where the fluctuating lake levels have resulted in a grassland around the lake shore, which attracts large herds of antelope, Elephant, Buffalo and a host of predators. Black Rhino are found in the forested areas. Boating, canoeing, game drives in 4x4 vehicles and walking with a licensed guide, gives guests the complete wildlife experience of the area.

Light aircraft transfer from Lake Kariba back to Victoria Falls Airport for your onward arrangements, or to Harare for onward flight.
