3. About Elephant Camp - the camp is located in a private concession bordered by the Masuwe River
and the Zambezi Gorges just 6 miles from the town of Victoria Falls. Elephant Camp offers luxury
tents, each with a breathtaking view of the gorges which separate Zimbabwe and Zambia. Each tent
has a private viewing deck and plunge pool, private lounge area, air-conditioning and fans, bath,
inside and outside shower, mini bar and tea/coffee stations, 220V main electricity, and mosquito nets.
Guests are offered a close interaction with wildlife - in particular elephants at the Wild Horizons
Wildlife Sanctuary, as you will have an opportunity to meet the Wild Horizons elephants while in
Camp. All other activities on offer in the Victoria Falls area are available at an additional cost.
DAY #3 & DAY #4 - VICTORIA FALLS, WILDLIFE VIEWING, ELEPHANT BACK SAFARI -- 2 full
days on safari ! There will be morning and evening game (wildlife) viewing drives, an elephant
back safari excursion, water game viewing excursions, bush walks and much more!!
About Victoria Falls - The Victoria Falls constitutes one of the most spectacular natural wonders of
the world. The Local people call it "Mosi-oa-Tunya" -- the smoke that thunders and the Falls are
remarkable. There is a magic about them manifested in the towering column of spray when the river
is high, the thunder of the falling water, the terrifying abyss and tranquil lagoons upstream in which
hippo and deadly crocodiles lurk. The Victoria falls is 1 708 meters wide, making it the largest curtain
of water in the world. It drops between 90m and 107m into the Zambezi Gorge and an average of
550,000 cubic metres of water plummet over the edge every minute. Remarkably preserved in its
natural state, Victoria falls inspires visitors as much today as it did David Livingstone in the 1860's.
The falls and the surrounding area have been declared National Parks and a World Heritage Site,
thus preserving the area from excessive commercialization.

About Somalisa Camp - the camp is a small tented camp tucked away subtly under a canopy of an
acacia tree island on an ancient river system. This unbeatable wild elephant sanctuary is known for
its large herds of elephant and the Somalisa concession in Hwange National Park affords you with
your private African wildlife encounters from the minute you step out of your tent. Somalisa has been
designed as an environmentally low-impact camp giving you a barefoot luxury experience with
elegance.

5. DAY #6 & DAY #7 - HWANGE NATIONAL PARK -- 2 full days on safari! There will be morning
and evening game (wildlife) viewing drives, bush walks and much more!!
About Hwange National Park - Situated on the eastern edge of the Kalahari Desert, Hwange
National Park is Zimbabwe's premier wildlife area and the dry home to one of the densest
concentrations of game in Africa. Its ecological diversity guarantees large numbers of game year-
round along with excellent birding. The park hosts 105 different animal species. We'll see Massive
herds of elephant, buffalo and sable antelope, white and black rhino, high concentrations of predator
species including lion, leopard, cheetah and hyena, a large population of African wild dog and over
400 bird species. We'll enjoy daily game drives, walking safaris and cultural village visits. All
Zimbabwe's specially protected animals are to be found in Hwange and it is the only protected area
where gemsbok and brown hyena occur in reasonable numbers. The population of African wild dogs
to be found in Hwange is thought to be of one of the largest surviving groups in Africa today.
Elephants have been enormously successful in Hwange and the population has increased to far
above that naturally supported by such an area.

About Mana Pools - Mana Pools is a wildlife conservation area in northern Zimbabwe constituting a
National Park. It is a region of the lower Zambezi River in Zimbabwe where the flood plain turns into a
broad expanse of lakes after each rainy season. As the lakes gradually dry up and recede, the region
attracts many large animals in search of water, making it one of Africa's most renowned game-viewing
regions.
Mana means 'four' in Shona, in reference to the four large permanent pools formed by the
meanderings of the middle Zambezi. These 2,500 square kilometers of river frontage, islands,

7. sandbanks and pools, flanked by forests of mahogany, wild figs, ebonies and baobabs, is one of the
least developed National Parks in Southern Africa. The park is now a UNESCO World Heritage site. It
has the country's biggest concentration of hippos and crocodiles, and large dry season mammal
populations of elephant and buffalo. Other popular mammals include the zebra and eland. The
remote and beautiful Mana Pools National Park also offers a mosaic of amazing habitats with some
rare bird species. Over 380 bird species have been recorded here.
