The Zimbabwe Honeymoon: Victoria Falls and Safari package was planned for a Chicago couple seeking a romantic getaway with plenty of adventure. Combining the beautiful islands of Siansimba, the famous Victoria Falls, and Zimbabwe’s largest game reserve, this honeymoon package is perfect for the adventurous couple.
The couple was gifted romantic champagne and chocolates upon arrival at Zambezi Sands River Camp. They enjoyed a 3-course meal under the stars before retreating to their luxury honeymoon tent. On their second day, they took a trip to Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The lodge offers the option of an unforgettable helicopter flight over the Falls before returning to the camp at sunset. During the remainder of their stay, our couple went on game drives and morning walks, canoed to the beautiful islands around Siansimba, and were treated to a romantic, candlelit bush dinner.
They continued their Victoria Falls and Safari honeymoon package with a night drive to their romantic villa at Camelthorn Lodge. They had a romantic bush dinner by the local waterhole under the night sky. The next day was full of leisurely wildlife excursions, including a “pump run” from one waterhole to the next and an afternoon game drive. They visited the nearby Ngamo village, then spent a day enjoying incredible views at Mbinza Pan, complete with a champagne brunch in the bush, and taking an afternoon game drive through the famed Ngamo Plains, which offers some of the richest wildlife in Zimbabwe. On their final day, they enjoyed a morning walk in Hwange National Park before they were transferred to the airport for their trip home.
