Zimbabwe Safari Trips & Tours
Zimbabwe
From elephant-rich plains to the spray of Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe blends wild beauty with serious soul.
From elephant-rich plains to the spray of Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe blends wild beauty with serious soul.
Zimbabwe is like a bright phoenix, its wildlife arising out of a rocky past to once again become 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…
You can’t really sum up the magic of Zimbabwe in one sentence, but one thing that really stands out on a safari here is the quality of the guides, their warmth, friendliness and knowledge – one of the best ingredients of any safari, we’re sure you’ll agree!
It’s certainly not rustic, but for something a little different, don your glad rags and travel in serious style from Pretoria to Victoria Falls on Rovos Rail's luxury train. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife in Hwange on the way – few people can say they’ve seen an elephant from a train, that’s for sure.
Since 1999, Zimbabwe has been plagued by unrest and dubious politics, and tourism has suffered badly. Today, it’s more than on the up (and probably one of the safest places to travel), so don’t let its bad reputation put you off.
