Day 3 to 5: Transfer from Victoria Falls to Khulu Bush Camp (Hwange Nationalpark) for 3 nights

Your African safari adventure begins today as you are collected this morning from Pioneers Lodge and transferred to Khulu Bush Camp. This is about a 2.5 hour drive.

This Lodge is located just outside Hwange National Park. It is only about 15 minutes’ drive from the main park entrance gate making it very easy to go into the national park to do game drives. In addition, they have their own private concession that they can also do game drives in. Khulu Bush Camp offers superb value for money and an authentic safari experience at an affordable price. They are famous for their resident Presidential herd of elephants which are often seen in the area or even in the grounds of the lodge! And the waterhole that can be seen from the lounge area and most rooms attracts many animals. The game viewing here is especially good in the July-October dry season.

You will enjoy the next 3 days doing morning & afternoon game activities. These include game drives & walking safaris.
