Private Reserve Game Drive & Bush Dinner
About the Adventure
Embark on an exclusive 4-to-5-hour afternoon-into-night safari in the 2,500-hectare Victoria Falls Private Game Reserve, an Intensive Protection Zone (IPZ) dedicated to the conservation of endangered black rhinos. Your guided adventure begins in an open 4x4 safari vehicle traversing Kalahari sand teak forests and open grasslands along the Masuwe River to track these rare creatures alongside other 'Big Five' wildlife, including elephants and buffaloes. Pause for scenic sundowners as the African sun sets, then continue after dark with a spotlight night drive to spot elusive nocturnal species like genets, civets, and owls. This premium Victoria Falls safari experience culminates in a gourmet three-course bush dinner served around a crackling campfire in a traditional open-air boma. Shorter game drive variations are available without the bush dinner, as well as a guided walking safari option for guests who prefer to track wildlife on foot.
