Game Drive Private Reserve

Trade fixed tracks for flexibility on a private game reserve near Victoria Falls, where your guide can follow fresh tracks off-road for closer sightings of giraffe, buffalo and the reserve’s resident game, away from the vehicle density of the national park.

Game drive through a private game reserve

Overview

Game Drive Overview

Unlike a national park, a private reserve concession allows our guides to leave the marked tracks and follow animal movement directly — which usually means fewer other vehicles at a sighting and a genuinely closer look at whatever the reserve turns up that day. This game drive runs on a private concession a short transfer from Victoria Falls.

Expect a flexible, guide-led route built around the freshest signs of the morning or afternoon: giraffe, kudu, buffalo and general plains game are reliable, with predator sightings a real possibility depending on recent activity on the reserve.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Because it’s a private concession rather than a state-run park, our guides can go off-road to follow animal movement more closely, get nearer to sightings, and adjust the route on the fly rather than sticking to fixed tracks.
Sightings vary by season, but expect general plains game — giraffe, kudu, buffalo and zebra are common — alongside a good chance of predator activity; your guide will track based on the morning’s fresh signs.
The private reserve fee funds lower vehicle density and off-road access rights on the concession, which typically means closer, less-shared sightings than a state park drive.
