Starting off in Victoria Falls, a town in western Zimbabwe and a gateway to the massive waterfall of the same name, you'll spend seven days exploring Zimbabwe and Botswana.
The Zambezi River plummets over a cliff and into the Boiling Pot before flowing through a series of gorges. Viewing this spectacle leaves one in little doubt as to why it is named as one of the seven wonders of the world.
The last part of your Zimbabwe tour is spent in Hwange, the country's largest National Park. The area has the highest concentration of lion in the park and large herds of buffalo. This is a great adventure for the adrenaline seeker, the historian and nature lover.

Today is the last day in Robins camp to enjoy your final morning and afternoon game drives.
