Zimbabwe Safari Holidays

Combining some of Africa's most breath-taking scenery and wildlife with one of the world’s most awe-inspiring waterfalls, Zimbabwe Safari holidays offer an extraordinary opportunity to explore the wonders of this great country and its diverse ecosystem. On a Zimbabwe Safari holiday you will see much of the classic African savanna wildlife, including lazing lions, majestic elephants and giraffes gently journeying along the horizon. Here are some of our top places to visit in Zimbabwe.

Hwange National Park

Hwange National Park is one of the largest parks in Zimbabwe where you can take in extraordinary views of the Batoka Gorge, come face-to-face with herds of gentle elephants and get up close and personal with critters on a surreal bushwalk. Lake Kariba is the largest artificial lake and reservoir in the world. If a watery wilderness is what you are looking for, it is the perfect place for a romantic lakeside safari retreat. Set sail through the mysterious and almost tropical landscapes of Lake Kariba to experience the immense beauty of its bluer-than-blue waters.

Mana Pools

With exceptional natural beauty and biodiversity and even more watery wilderness, Mana Pools is considered one of the best safari destinations in Zimbabwe where you can expect to see herds upon herds of wildebeest, zebra and giraffe grazing along the riverbeds or relaxing under the shade near camp. The Zambezi River criss-crosses through this diverse landscape, creating ideal habitats for hundreds of birds, including African fish eagles, kingfishers, and cormorants.

Victoria Falls

Forming the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, the 360ft-tall Victoria Falls is one of the Seven Wonders of the World for good reason. From these gushing falls, the Zambezi – one of Africa’s mightiest rivers - flows through Zimbabwe national parks. Hop aboard a boat for a trip down this mighty waterway and get a glimpse at hippos and rhinos amid birdlife in their natural habitat. If you are feeling adventurous, head to the skies in a helicopter for an ultimate birds-eye-view of the billowing mists and water below, or even have a go at white water rafting which is guaranteed to get your heart racing. Those seeking more leisurely, or romantic pleasures can enjoy a gentle walk or indulge in a champagne afternoon tea overlooking the falls.
