Game Drives

Into the wild, with Matusadona within reach

Tiger Bay offers game drive experiences in a photographic game-viewing area within Matusadona, giving guests access to the wildlife, scenery and changing light that make this region one of Zimbabwe’s most compelling wilderness landscapes.

Game drives are offered during the best viewing windows of the day, typically in the early morning and late afternoon, when the bush is cooler and wildlife activity is stronger. Each drive is led by a professional guide and supported by Tiger Bay’s two dedicated game drive vehicles.

The experience is designed to be comfortable and considered. Guests may be provided with bottled water, binoculars and seasonal comforts such as ponchos, hot water bottles, morning tea or afternoon tea, depending on the timing and weather.
