Day 1: Arrival in Victoria Falls – Begin Your Retreat

Upon arrival at Victoria Falls International Airport, you’ll be warmly welcomed and transferred to Shongwe Lookout, a charming boutique lodge just minutes from the iconic falls.

Check in to your Deluxe Room and spend the afternoon unwinding in the peaceful garden or taking in the panoramic views from the Lookout Tower. Enjoy a leisurely evening at your own pace as you settle in.

Day 2: Explore Victoria Falls – Iconic Natural Wonder

After breakfast, set out to experience the breathtaking Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. Known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya ("The Smoke That Thunders"), this UNESCO World Heritage Site is sure to awe.

The day is yours to enjoy optional activities, including a guided tour of the falls, helicopter flight, sunset Zambezi cruise, or a walking safari. Return to Shongwe Lookout in the evening for a relaxing night.

Day 3: Into the Wild – Journey to Lake Kariba

Enjoy breakfast before transferring to the airport for your flight to Kanjedza Airstrip, the gateway to the wild beauty of Lake Kariba. From there, a scenic transfer takes you to Changa Safari Camp, set in a private concession in Matusadona National Park.

Check into your Deluxe Tent, offering stunning lake views and elegant comfort in the heart of the bush. Spend the afternoon relaxing before indulging in a freshly prepared dinner under the stars.

Day 4: Safari Adventure – Wildlife Encounters and Lake Views

Today, explore the rich wildlife and landscapes of Matusadona National Park. Choose from guided game drives, walking safaris, or boat cruises on Lake Kariba. Bird enthusiasts will delight in the variety of species found in the area.

Back at camp, enjoy the all-inclusive hospitality, from delicious meals to refreshing sundowners, and fall asleep to the sounds of the African wild.

Day 5: Deeper into the Wilderness – A Day of Discovery

Spend another full day soaking up the wild beauty of Changa Safari Camp and its surroundings. You may wish to venture out on another morning or afternoon game activity, try your hand at catch-and-release fishing, or simply enjoy a day of leisure on the deck, watching wildlife drift by.

As the sun sets, gather around the campfire for stories, stargazing, and one final evening in the bush.

Day 6: Farewell – Until Next Time

Savor one last breakfast with lake views before checking out. You’ll be transferred to Kanjedza Airstrip for your return flight to Victoria Falls, concluding your unforgettable safari journey with memories to last a lifetime.
