GAME DRIVES

On a game drive, you can expect to see more of the larger animal life as you are covering more ground in a vehicle. Drives are conducted into various sections of Zambezi National Park, including the Chamabondo and River Drive areas. Four-hour drives are on offer in the morning and afternoon in addition to the longer full-day game drive. Night drives are also conducted on a private unfenced game ranch, not far from the National Park, and animals that may be seen include civet, large-spotted genet, several (?) and, if you are lucky, leopard! Ask the Tours Desk for more details.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What do I need to take along, are there mosquitoes, will I get malaria?

· Essentials for a game drive include a good pair of binoculars (7x50 or 10x50), a bird/tree/mammal checklist (supplied by the Lodge), a large-brimmed hat (especially in summer - no baseball caps) and sunscreen lotion. Cameras and hand-held video recorders are also good idea! No one goes thirsty as a large cooler box of mixed cool drinks, mineral water and beer is supplied. Breakfast or lunch is also supplied, depending upon the length of the game drive.
· Please be reassured that most insects of the harmful kind are usually only active in the wetter months. Malaria becomes a higher risk during April and May, but it is advisable to take the necessary prophylactics before you come to Zimbabwe, regardless of the season, just to be on the safe side.
