If you want to see Victoria Falls…

African Big Five

If you want to see the Big Five…

A safari to Hwange National Park will deliver astonishing sightings of the 40 000 strong elephant population, as well as the other members of the Big Five. If you want to view the Big Five, we recommend flying (or driving) from Victoria Falls to either Nantwich Lodge or Elephant’s Eye Tented Camp.

  • Very healthy cheetah population
  • Mega herds of buffalo
  • Closest lodge to Victoria Falls

Camp Kuzuma is within close proximity to Victoria Falls, Chobe and Hwange which makes it the ultimate Botswana add-on to your trip. Game drive transfers are possible between all three lodges on the Golden safari circuit.
