Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe remains one of Africa’s finest safari and tourist destinations, despite recent instability.
And it’s not all about Victoria Falls, although that is undeniably one of Zimbabwe’s highlights
and a popular ‘add-on’ in its own right.
Hwange National Park is a world-class safari destination, home to large herds of elephant; a private houseboat on Lake Kariba, or a lodge on the shore, gives access to the impressive Matusadona National Park; Mana Pools National Park is surely one of the most beautiful areas in Zimbabwe, rich in game and perfect for an adventurous canoe safari; and that’s not to mention the Eastern Highlands, Matobo Hills and the ruins at Great Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe really does have something for everyone.
