Zimbabwe may be synonymous with the mighty Victoria Falls, and the epic ruins of Great Zimbabwe (from which the country derives its post independence name). However, this is much more to this beautiful, diverse and relatively small country - excellent wildlife and National Parks, scenic beauty and interesting cultures.
The largest National Park, Hwange, is close enough to Victoria Falls that you can access it by transfer (some 3 hours or so) or by light aircraft. There are a good number of private lodges both within the Park itself, or set in private concession to the east. Further 'down the road' is the small, yet magnificent Matobo National Park. It may be known as the burial place of Rhodes, but it is also home to unique scenery, a good selection of rock art, and diverse wildlife.
Travel further afield to Lake Kariba and experience Matusadona National Park, with some excellent private lodges, and excellent wildlife. Then there is the remote Mana Pools, set on the sprawling and beautiful Zambezi Valley. Enjoy game drives, walks and canoe trips...
Although there are 10 National Parks in Zimbabwe, a visit to some of the areas known more for scenery, rather than wildlife, is also worthwhile - in particular the magnificent Eastern Highlands, which include Nyanga, Vumba and the Chimanimani mountains. Enjoy a variety of adventure activities and great hiking too.
Overall, Zimbabwe has more than you might imagine for the Safari enthusiast and adventure traveller. Access is easily arranged via Victoria Falls, Bulawayo or Harare. The country is friendly, and very welcoming to travellers. So, come and explore with us....
