Logistics: Transfers, Timing & Practicalities

Most travellers arrive via Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe) airport or by road from Harare or Livingstone (Zambia). Domestic transfers between the Falls and safari lodges are usually by private vehicle or short charter flights. Zimtrek coordinates transfers, domestic flights, and park permits so your itinerary runs smoothly. For planning help, Speak to a Travel Expert to tailor timings and logistics.

Best times to combine wellness with safari

High-quality wellness retreats operate year-round, but seasonal considerations affect wildlife viewing and weather. Dry months typically offer higher chances of concentrated wildlife around water sources, while the green season brings dramatic scenery and migratory birdlife. Zimtrek advisors will recommend dates based on your priorities-whether that’s quieter lodges, birding, or peak Falls flow.

Inclusions, exclusions and sample budget

• Typical inclusions: accommodation, daily breakfasts, selected meals, guided game drives, spa credit or scheduled treatments, and transfers between listed properties.
• Typical exclusions: international flights to the region, visa fees, gratuities and optional activities not listed in the itinerary.
• Sample 7-day package range (estimate): US Dollar 2,400-6,500 per person, depending on lodge category, private transfers and season. Prices are indicative and subject to confirmation.
