The smoke that thunders, then the silence of the bush.
Begin at the edge of Victoria Falls — Zimbabwe's smoke that thunders — then fly into Hwange National Park for elephant herds and wilderness. This is a slow, deliberate journey between two of Southern Africa's great landscapes, with a light-aircraft charter linking them.
You'll stay at Iganyana Tented Camp on a private concession, where game drives and walking safaris run morning and evening, and the days settle into the rhythm of the wild. Fully curated, select departures, and never more than eight guests.
The Itinerary
Illustrative day-by-day flow — your dedicated expert tailors the exact routing, lodges and pace to you.
Arrival & the falls at golden hour
Met on arrival and transferred to your riverside lodge. Settle in, then an easy first evening watching the light drop over the Zambezi.
Guided tour of Victoria Falls
A guided walk along the rainforest rim of one of the seven natural wonders of the world, followed by a Zambezi River sunset boat cruise as hippos surface and elephants come down to drink.
Light-aircraft flight into the wilderness
A short scenic charter flight replaces the long road, dropping you onto a private airstrip deep in Hwange National Park. First afternoon game drive on the way to camp.
Elephant herds & the great pans
Full days of game drives and guided walking safaris across Hwange's private concession, tracking the park's famous elephant herds as they gather at the pumped waterholes.
Predators, birdlife & the quiet hours
Dawn and dusk drives in search of lion, wild dog and cheetah, with unhurried afternoons back at camp. A stay that manages to feel both full and unhurried — Hwange rewards those who give it time.
Community & conservation
A Community & Bicycle Tour through the Lesoma Valley, plus a visit and contribution to one of Africa's most vital wildlife conservation projects — travel that gives back to the land it moves through.
A final night, in style
Return toward Victoria Falls for a 5-course dinner aboard the restored Bushtracks Express Dinner Train as it crosses the Victoria Falls bridge at dusk — a fitting last evening.
Homeward, changed
A relaxed morning before your airport transfer and onward flight — with the bush still in your ears.

Iganyana Tented Camp
An intimate tented camp set on a private concession in Hwange National Park — canvas suites, open-sided game vehicles, and a waterhole that brings the wild to your doorstep. Exactly the kind of small, characterful place we handpick rather than default to.
Mornings begin with the sound of the bush; evenings end around the fire under one of Africa's clearest skies. Twice-daily game drives and guided walks run straight from camp.

Questions, answered
How many guests are on this safari?
This package is deliberately intimate and limited to a maximum of eight guests, so every game drive and transfer stays private and unhurried.
When is the best time to visit Hwange?
The dry season from May to October concentrates wildlife around Hwange's waterholes and pumped pans, making it the strongest window for elephant herds and predators. Green-season travel (November to April) rewards birders and photographers with lush scenery.
How do you travel between Victoria Falls and Hwange?
A light-aircraft charter flight connects Victoria Falls to Hwange's private airstrip, turning a long road transfer into a short scenic flight over the bushveld. Charter flights and airport transfers are included throughout.
Is this a malaria area?
Both Victoria Falls and Hwange fall within a malaria zone. We recommend consulting a travel clinic about prophylaxis before departure; your dedicated travel expert will share current guidance alongside your proposal.
How much does this package cost?
This 8-day package is priced from $4,939 per person sharing (Shoulder Season). A single supplement of $648 applies for solo travellers. Custom quotes can be tailored based on your exact travel dates and preferences.
