Zimbabwe Safaris

Victoria Falls

Victoria Falls is one of the natural wonders of the world. When in flood, it is the widest curtain of falling water in the world. The cascade is on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe as the Zambezi River is the demarcation, so technically the Falls are in Zambia.

Hwange National Park

About the size of Belgium, the Hwange National Park is Zimbabwe’s largest conservation area. It is about a 1-hour drive from Victoria Falls.

Great Zimbabwe

The country of Great Zimbabwe takes its name from the ruins of an 11th-century city called Zimbabwe, which means “house of stone” in the local Shona language. These impressive ruins are called Great Zimbabwe today. The ruins lie 3okm/18 miles outside the city of Masvingo.

Mana Pools National Park

The Mana Pools National Park is not as visited due to its remote location, but a couple of luxury safari companies have private concessions here with luxury camps on them. Most guests are generally flown into the region on a private plane.

Matobos National Park

Less visited than Zimbabwe’s other attractions, the Matobos National Park lies about a 45-minute drive outside the city of Bulawayo. The granite hills were formed over 2 billion years ago with granite being forced to the surface, this has eroded to produce smooth “whaleback dwalas” and broken kopjes, strewn with boulders and interspersed with thickets of vegetation.
