Zimbabwe

With a reputation for being home to some of Africa’s finest guides, Zimbabwe is the destination for an ‘activity-focused’ adventurer looking to stay away from the crowds and off the beaten track.

Our Take

Zimbabwe is once again one of Africa's top safari attractions. The home of the great Victoria Falls in the North, the wild and beautiful Hwange National Park, serene Mana Pools, and pristine, unexplored tracts of land in the south and east, a Zimbabwe safari is for travellers looking for a touch of adventure.

Safe to say, everyone who visits Zimbabwe returns raving about the friendly people, beautiful scenery and incredible, off-the-beaten-track wildlife experiences, so we suggest you go there now, before more people catch on.

We love:
Home to some of the world’s most incredible natural wonders and wildlife, Zimbabwe is one of our favourite safari destinations.
Key locations:
Victoria Falls, Hwange National Park, Mana Pools National Park, Lake Kariba, Matobo National Park.
Key experiences:
Helicopter flights over Vic Falls, canoeing or sunset river cruises on the Zambezi, fishing on Lake Kariba.
