Zimbabwe
Victoria Falls thunder and the Mana Pools wild
Zimbabwe — Victoria Falls thunder and the Mana Pools wild.
Two anchors. Victoria Falls, in full flow from March to May, is the great natural show of southern Africa. Mana Pools, where you can walk among elephants on foot, is the most thrilling safari we book on the continent.
Pair with Botswana or Zambia for a longer southern Africa fortnight.
