Zimbabwe

Introduction

Spectacular scenery, legendary guides, and warm hospitality, Zimbabwe delivers classic safari experiences with heart and soul.

This is a land of contrasts and wonder: the thunderous Victoria Falls, vast Hwange plains, and the untamed beauty of Mana Pools along the Zambezi River.
Here, wilderness and heritage flow together, guided by some of Africa’s most passionate conservationists.

From sunrise safaris to river sunsets, Zimbabwe offers safaris that go beyond sightings — it’s a country where connection, storytelling, and adventure become one.

Why Visit Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe is Africa at its most soulful — a destination defined by expert guiding, stunning diversity, and a deep love for the wild.
Its people, parks, and spirit create a safari experience both authentic and luxurious.

  • Victoria Falls – One of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, where the Zambezi River plunges into a breathtaking gorge.

  • Hwange National Park – Zimbabwe’s largest reserve, home to massive elephant herds, lions, and painted wolves.

  • Mana Pools National Park – A UNESCO World Heritage site, famous for canoe safaris, walking adventures, and incredible wildlife encounters along the Zambezi River.

  • Matobo Hills – Ancient granite outcrops and sacred sites that hold centuries of human history.

  • Lake Kariba – A peaceful water wilderness, perfect for houseboat safaris, fishing, and birdwatching.

Zimbabwe invites travelers to reconnect with Africa’s true spirit — where conservation, community, and adventure come together beautifully.

Best Time to Visit

Zimbabwe can be visited all year, though the dry season (May to October) is considered the best for wildlife and comfortable travel.

  • May to October – Prime safari months with clear skies, great game viewing, and cool evenings.

  • June to August – Peak season for Victoria Falls, when the Zambezi’s flow is strongest and spray fills the air.

  • November to April – Green season with lush landscapes, bird migrations, and fewer visitors — perfect for photographers and peaceful escapes.

For the best balance of wildlife and scenery, visit between June and September when conditions are ideal for both land and river safaris.
