The Foreign Office has confirmed the mother and daughter died but is not naming them until an elderly relative in Britain has been informed.
The British embassy in Harare said the distraught survivor was receiving help in moving the women's bodies back to the capital.
Zimbabwean police and park authorities are investigating whether the group's armed local guides had been negligent.
Guide Andy Trevillia, 38, also seriously injured, is still in hospital.
