This transfer is on tarred road in an air-conditioned mini-bus travelling through villages and picturesque countryside. At around mid-afternoon you'll arrive at Ivory Lodge. You'll have enough time to get settled into your chalet, grab a bite to eat and then head out on your first activity, probably a 4WD game drive to explore the area. This is your base for the next few nights.Days 5-7
3 nights at Amalinda (full board & activities) | Matobo Hills National Park, Zimbabwe
You’ll travel to your next camp along the tarred road you left when turning off to Ivory Lodge and go beyond Bulawayo to the historic Matobo Hills National Park. After a transfer of around 4 hours you’ll arrive at Camp Amalinda. You’ll immediately notice the stark contrast between the flatter eastern Hwange area you’ve just left and the gigantic rocky outcrops of the Matobo Hills. In terms of area covered this camp matches the massive scale of the landscape and from the large swimming pool and bar area at the foot of an ancient granite kopje all the way up to the main area and chalets further up the slope you’ll be welcomed by friendly staff and amazed by the fantastic views.
