Overview

Wild, remote and untouched, Zimbabwe is the ideal safari destination for those looking to escape the crowds – a hidden gem on Africa’s safari circuit. The troubles in the country have been widely publicised, yet despite the questionable politics and economic instability, tourism has seen something of a resurgence in recent years, a trend we expect to continue as more and more travellers switch on to the pleasures of holidaying here.

Zimbabwe regions

Gonarezhou & Malilangwe

Located in the south-east corner of Zimbabwe, bordering Mozambique and South Africa, these rarely visited jewels in Zimbabwe’s crown offer Big Five game viewing well away from the crowds.

Hwange National Park

Hwange National Park has no shortage of wildlife, boasting one of the highest diversities of animals in southern Africa, with an estimated 108 species of mammal and over 400 bird species.

Lake Kariba & Matusadona

Located along the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia, Lake Kariba is one of the largest man-made lakes in the world and Matusadona, the national park that sits on its shores, is a haven for wildlife that few get to experience.

Mana Pools National Park

A UNESCO World Heritage Site on the banks of the mighty Zambezi River, offering perhaps the best game viewing in Zimbabwe.

Matobo National Park

A spectacular national park known for its dramatic rock formations, rhino tracking opportunities, high concentration of leopards and collection of prehistoric rock art.

Victoria Falls

When Dr Livingstone first came upon Victoria Falls in 1855, he wrote that "scenes so lovely must have been gazed upon by angels in their flight”. The spectacle today is no less magnificent or monumental to behold.
