Carbon Neutral Trip
Day by Day
No two trips are ever the same, but this will give you a taste of what your journey will be like.
Day 1
Upon arrival at the Mana Main Airstrip, we'll embark on our first game drive towards Mana Pools National Park and our first camp, Nyamatusi Camp. Adapt to the gentle pace of safari life as you spend time bird-watching, meditating and searching for wildlife in the afternoon.
Day 2
Immerse yourself in the fragile ecosystem of the Zambezi River as we stroll along its tranquil shores. Embark on a canoe safari to search for wildlife from the water. Catch glimpses of crocodiles, hippopotamuses, elephants and a variety of aquatic birds.
Day 3
Head to the beautiful Mana Pools National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, for a safari today. We’ll learn about conservation efforts and connect with anti-poacher rangers to learn about their work in this wilderness.
Day 4
Catch a flight to the Bumi Hills airstrip and witness a bird's eye view of the incredible Lake Kariba. This afternoon, take to the waters by boat to explore the remnants of a drowned forest.
Day 5
Set off to explore the lakeshore on foot, witnessing waterbuck, zebra, buffalo, elephants and fossilized dinosaur footprints. This afternoon, connect with a conservationist from African Parks to gain an understanding of wildlife conservation at Matusadona National Park.
Day 6
This morning, visit a local community near Lake Karibato to learn more about their traditions and understand the various community and wildlife co-existence projects run by the African Bush Camps Foundation.
Day 7
Catch a morning flight to Hwange National Park and take a game drive to Somalisa upon arrival. In addition to elephants that frequently visit the camp’s pool, keep a lookout for swift cheetah, dazzling zebra and the graceful giraffe that may saunter into view.
Day 8
Head out for a morning game drive, then continue to the park's outskirts to visit the community projects supported by the lodge and African Bush Camps Foundation at Mambanje. After a picnic lunch in Hwange, spend the afternoon discovering the park's astounding diversity of wildlife.
Day 9
Enjoy a day off to enjoy the stunning Somalisa Acacia property or to repeat one of your favourite activities.
Day 10
After one final game drive this morning, we'll drive you to the airstrip for the flight to Victoria Falls airport. Safe travels!

Why choose a Small Group trip?
An Effortless Journey
Our expert Experience Designers are perfectionists, using first-hand knowledge of routes, restaurants and hotels to create an unforgettable experience. This means all the planning is taken care of for you. All you need to do is enjoy.
Active Exploration
From emerging destinations to iconic sights, B&R trips show you the world in a new way on our expertly developed cycling, walking and hiking routes. Travelling through historic villages and romantic vineyards and up to striking viewpoints, our routes offer a variety of challenges for every activity level.
Friends for Life
Your fellow travellers are as passionate and curious about the world as you are, which means the conversations and laughs will be as free flowing as your drink of choice. Don't be surprised if your group starts planning a reunion before the trip is done.
Room for Surprises
We love a plan, but we adore a spontaneous moment even more. Whether it’s an impromptu al fresco meal or a moon-lit musical performance, our advice is to expect the unexpected.
