Itinerary

Day 1 - 2

Highlands House

Welcome to Zimbabwe! After a ground transfer from the airport, settle into the Sunshine City at Highlands House in the leafy suburbs of Harare. This evening you’ll have a briefing on your trip with map and coordinates, and receive your vehicle.

Day 2 - 4

Exclusive Camp at Mount Nyangani

Our Signature Safari is led by the original guiding team for the Grand Tour recce trips and will set up your private campsite exactly where the lads camped the night in Nyanga National Park. This expedition safari style is a supremely comfortable way to camp, in one of the country’s most pictureque locations.

Day 4 - 5

Skydeck Mountain Retreat

Drive across the Pungwe and to the Sky Walk and Sky Line before arriving to the luxurious Sky Deck Mountain Retreat for a night which started it all.

Day 5 - 6

Highlands House

A final Eastern Highlands pit stop at the famous Flamboyant, near the tea plantations of Honde Valley before returning to Harare. Late afternoon dive into the belly of Harare, as Jeremy described “as singing, melting pot of busyness and joy”

Day 6 - 9

Exclusive Campsite on Zambezi River

Early morning departure to UNESCO World Heritage Site, Mana Pools National Park. Arrive to your private campsite on the banks of the Zambezi River. Spend the next few days in search of big game, on foot, by road with your professional guide. Safari is best experienced in a tent, and it doesn’t get much better than this!

Day 9 - 11

The Lady May Houseboat

The great road trip continues west to Lake Kariba. Your crew awaits on a private houseboat to explore this incredible scenic lake, noted for it’s rich birdlife and big game that you’ll see dotting the shoreline in Matusadona National Park. Relax and enjoy a spot of fishing and peaceful few nights, slightly more comfortable than the lads did!

Day 12 - 13

Arrive to Simwenge River Lodge, which will be exclusively yours. A sunset cruise with fully stocked cooler box will be your roadtrip reward.

Day 13 - 15

The Victoria Falls Hotel

The expedition reaches its conclusion at the Victoria Falls, and your home will be the historic Grande Dame itself, The Victoria Falls Hotel, which features in the show.
