Why Visit Zimbabwe?
Zimbabwe, famed for the Victoria Falls (The Smoke that Thunders), offers more than just a stunning waterfall. It stands out as a premier destination for safaris in Southern Africa. As one of the most underrated countries in Africa, it has many gems to explore!
Zimbabwe’s National Parks rank among the best in Africa. Whether you relax on the shores of Lake Kariba, hike the slopes of the Eastern Highlands, experience the ultimate walking safaris in Mana Pools, or you’re seeking unparalleled game-viewing experiences at Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe has it all.
1. Be Enchanted by “The Smoke that Thunders”
Victoria Falls stands as one of Africa’s most captivating natural wonders, offering breathtaking views that leave visitors exhilarated. Positioned on the Zambezi River, it’s accessible from both Zambia and Zimbabwe, with Zimbabwe providing arguably the best on-foot views.
Beyond its picturesque beauty, Victoria Falls earns its title as Africa’s adventure capital, offering a plethora of thrilling activities. Water enthusiasts can enjoy white water rafting, canoeing, and sunset cruises along the Zambezi River. For aerial views, helicopter or microlight flights provide a bird’s-eye perspective. And for the ultimate adrenaline rush, bungee jumping, ziplining, and gorge swinging are available to explore the waterfall’s width and length.
2. Easily Accessible Destination
Zimbabwe’s location in Southern Africa and its reliable flight connections simplify travel logistics. It seamlessly combines with other Safari destinations such as Kruger National Park in South Africa and Botswana’s Okavango Delta. Victoria Falls, shared with Zambia, offers easy access to South Luangwa National Park for walking Safaris.
Cap off your trip with coastal relaxation. Cape Town’s Blue Beaches provide a perfect post-Safari unwind, or opt for paradisical escapes like Mozambique’s coast or the tropical islands of Mauritius, Madagascar, and Seychelles.
3. Superb Accommodation Offerings
Zimbabwe’s accommodations match the beauty of its Safari destinations, offering options for every traveler, from bush-campers seeking authenticity to luxury Safari enthusiasts. Whether experiencing Victoria Falls or exploring private reserves like Hwange and Mana Pools, there’s a perfect space to meet every preference and need.
4. Zimbabwe Offers Various Hidden Gems
Lake Kariba, the largest manmade water body globally, promises a distinctive travel adventure. Expect encounters with hippos along the lakeside, while further inland, the park’s conservation areas teem with diverse wildlife. From elephants to rare antelope species, zebras, and buffalo, the park offers sightings of an array of fascinating animals.
5. Thrilling Wildlife Sightings
Zimbabwe is not just about Victoria Falls; it boasts 11 vast and unpolished National Parks, some harboring abundant wildlife populations. Mana Pools National Park offers Zambezi River wildlife encounters, including hippos, crocodiles, and waterbucks, with activities like game drives, canoeing, and walking Safaris.
Hwange National Park, the flagship reserve, is a short distance from Victoria Falls and teems with lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo, antelopes, giraffes, and zebras.
