Khanondo Safaris

Walking Safaris and Cultural Immersion in Victoria Falls

Khanondo Safaris is a specialist tour operator based in Victoria Falls, offering carefully designed walking safaris, cultural tours, and wildlife experiences that go deeper than the standard tourist fare. Founded by experienced local guides, Khanondo focuses on quality over quantity — small groups, personal attention, and meaningful encounters.

Signature Experiences

Walking Safaris — Multi-day guided walks through the Zambezi National Park and surrounding wilderness areas. Walking safari is the original way to experience the African bush — on foot, at nature's pace, with every sense engaged.

Zambezi National Park Game Drives — Morning and afternoon drives along the Zambezi riverfront, one of the most game-rich areas near Victoria Falls. Elephant, buffalo, giraffe, sable, lion, and wild dog are all present.

Cultural Immersion:

• Village homestay experiences — spend a night with a local family
• Traditional cooking classes — learn to prepare sadza, matemba, and other Zimbabwean staples
• Music and dance workshops — drumming and mbira sessions with local musicians

Birding Tours — Expert-led birding excursions targeting the Zambezi valley's 470+ species, from African finfoot to Pel's fishing owl.

The Khanondo Approach

• Authenticity — These aren't staged performances; every experience is genuine
• Small groups — Maximum 6 guests ensures personal, immersive experiences
• Expert guides — Professional guides with decades of bushcraft knowledge
• Community benefit — Direct financial support to the communities visited

Who It's For

Serious travellers who want more than tick-the-box tourism. If you've done the sunset cruise and the bungee jump and want something deeper, Khanondo delivers.

"The walking safari changed how I experience Africa. Moving through the bush on foot, reading tracks, listening to the silence — it's the purest form of safari." — Khanondo guest
