During your Southern African safari it’s good to know that your vacation is contributing to the welfare of your hosts and the environment. Fortunately, there are many superb destinations to choose from that do just that. This 10-day tour of Zimbabwe shows how you can travel in style, while contributing to the well being of the community.
Big Cave Camp
A two night stay at Big Cave Lodge, secluded in the rocky heights of Matopos National Park, is the perfect introduction to the wild spaces of Zimbabwe. The views from here are simply stunning and the sophisticated granite and thatch architecture makes the most of the scenery with large private balconies overlooking the valley below.
Activities include game drives, biking, san rock art sites to visit, and a trip to the local White Waters Secondary School which the lodge actively supports.
The Hide
Likewise The Hide, in Hwange National Park, is an active contributor to The Bodhi Tree Foundation which supports local people in need, as well as protecting their cultural heritage and natural environment.
Three nights are needed to experience all the activities in this exceptional destination. There are game drives and walks, children’s activities, outdoor dining experiences and cultural tours to enjoy – all according to an itinerary of your own design. Alternatively you can just lap up the relaxing ambience in your luxurious room and enjoy amazing views of the surrounding bush.
