Our Zimbabwe

One of the most popular inclusions for any safari to Southern Africa is a visit to the mighty Victoria Falls. Straddled between Zimbabwe (via the town of Victoria Falls) and Zambia (via Livingstone), Victoria Falls is one of the largest waterfalls in the world covering a total distance of 1,700 metres. With a new state of the art International Airport at Victoria Falls, access to the region is easy from a variety of regional safari destinations like South Africa, Botswana, Zambia and Namibia. Taking a break from your safari to soak up the beauty of this UNESCO World Heritage site will be well worth your time.

While Victoria Falls is arguably Zimbabwe’s most popular travel destination, don’t forget about the many unique and wonderful safari locations waiting to be explored. Hwange National Park with its easy access from Victoria Falls is the perfect safari inclusion to your Zimbabwe safari. In the far north of the country you will find one of the wildest and most scenically beautiful national parks in Africa – Mana Pools National Park.

Landlocked between South Africa in the south, Botswana in the East, Mozambique in the west and Zambia in the north, Zimbabwe is renowned for its dramatic landscapes and unique biodiversity. Victoria Falls is the countries adventure capital and a hub for guests passing through as they combine safaris to Botswana, South Africa and Zambia.

While most visitors to Zimbabwe only stay in Victoria Falls, those who know the destination will tell you there is so much more to experience in this beautiful country. A six-night safari to Zimbabwe can have you starting in Victoria Falls before flying off on a luxury safari to Hwange National Park located south-east of the falls. Covering an area of more than 14,000 square kilometers, the dry woodlands and open grasslands of Hwange National Park support a wide diversity of wildlife and offer exceptional predator sightings throughout the year. Owing the to the arid nature of the region, wildlife gathers in large numbers around the waterholes and pools, creating mesmorising wildlife encounters for visitors enjoying a luxury safari to the region. With its close proximity to Victoria Falls, Hwange is often combined with neighboring destinations like the Chobe National Park and the Okavango Delta in Botswana for a truly diverse African safari.

Set in the north of the country, Mana Pools National Park is regarded as one of the wildest and most remote safari regions in Southern Africa. The Zambezi River forms the parks northern boundary and provides lifeline to the wide variety of wildlife that inhabit the park. A safari to Mana Pools offers a diversity of experiences from daily game drives, guided bush walks and canoeing adventures on the Zambezi River. For the less adventurous, the river can be explored by motorised boats. With the Zambian Mountains as a backdrop and the mighty Zambezi River in the foreground, Mana Pools offers a truly unique setting for the keen wildlife photographer. Predator sightings including lion, leopard and wild dog, while the elephant, hippo and plains game are in abundance to complete the safari experience.
