Zimbabwe Safaris

Zimbabwe is a beautiful, temperate land of raw African wilderness and ancient mystery. A Zimbabwe safari holiday evokes images of huge, game- rich plateaus such as the majestic Hwange National Park, and the heart-stopping raw power of Victoria Falls - the widest curtain of falling water in the world.

Then there's the mighty Zambezi River which, after crashing over the Falls, winds through deep gorges over world-renowned whitewater rafting rapids; flows into the massive Lake Kariba; then continues its path east through Mana Pools National Park - an incredible wilderness area and World Heritage Site.

Zimbabwe's Current Situation

Zimbabwe used to evoke images of social and political chaos and the image still remains, this leads most potential visitors to think a Zimbabwe safari holiday is unsafe. The reality is quite different - with Robert Mugabe gone the country is relatively stable, Zimbabwe's parks and reserves are also perfectly safe to visit, as they are located far away from the sites of the instability.

Private concessions have been well-maintained and have high concentrations of game. Also, due to Zim's negative news coverage, the low lodge occupancy means you'll have thousands of hectares of pristine game country virtually all to yourself.

Although Zimbabwe safari holidays are extremely competitive in price, Zim is by no means a second-rate destination. Zimbabwe accommodation is luxurious, and lodge locations afford excellent game viewing amid some of the most breathtaking scenery in Africa.
