Africa Travel WeekWHY WE LOVE ZIMBABWE AND YOU WILL TOO
Zimbabwe is more than a scenic overland journey or a Big 5 wildlife safari. It is a vibrant, colourful cultural experience that has you learning, meeting new characters and signing up for countless adrenaline-filled adventures along the way.
Discover the wide avenues and treed-suburbs of its history-soaked cities, tick off its natural attractions and heritage sites, and embrace the country’s warm and welcoming culture – one filled with art, song and dance.
Aside from its main attractions, Zimbabwe offers countless thrills for those seeking a challenge. Think bungee jumping adventures, white water rafting, scenic helicopter flips above Victoria Falls and long hikes among the rolling hills, waterfalls, rivers & panoramic views of Nyanga National Park.
But Zimbabwe is nothing if not accommodating. For travellers who would rather relax and soak up the country’s beauty, Zimbabwe treats you to an iconic sunset cruise on the Zambezi River, sundowners in the Matobo National Park or lazy fishing trips to Mlibizi, on the southern shores of Lake Kariba.
Of course, no trip to Zimbabwe is complete without a visit to one of its extraordinary national parks: Hwange, Chimanimani, Chizarira and Gonarezhou to name a few. Zimbabwe’s unspoiled parks promise some of the best wildlife encounters and game viewing opportunities in the world. None more so than the pristine African wilderness that is Mana Pools.
Zimbabwe offers something for everyone. Whether you choose to hire a houseboat on Kariba, delve into history at the ruins of Great Zimbabwe – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – or seek out the crystalline ‘Sleeping Pool’ at Chinhoyi Caves, a trip to Zimbabwe will stay with you forever.
