HAPPY HATHI TIP
According to our founder, Zimbabwe is Africa’s best-kept secret—not just for its exclusivity, but because it truly reflects our philosophy of immersive, meaningful travel. Game drives are incredible, but it’s the walking safaris that set Zimbabwe apart—humbling, raw, and deeply connecting. While we believe it deserves a dedicated 10+ day journey, even if you’re pairing it with Botswana, you can still experience its depth by exploring two distinct corners of Hwange. And we’ll help you plan it just right.
Trip Extensions:Botswana and Namibia.

Happy Hathi Recommends

Devil’s Pool & Zambezi Rafting: Swim at the edge of Victoria Falls in Devil’s Pool, one of the world’s wildest infinity pools. Add Zambezi rafting for an adrenaline-filled, water-soaked African adventure.

Chitake Springs, Mana Pools: Chitake Springs is raw and wild, a remote Mana Pools hotspot where predators and prey gather around a life-giving spring. Best visited in dry season for peak action.

Lake Kariba Sunset Cruise: Drift across Lake Kariba at sunset. Try tiger fishing, sip wine, and watch the sky glow over still waters. It is pure relaxation with a touch of wilderness charm.
