For many experienced safari-goers, Zimbabwe is one of Africa’s best-kept secrets. Of course, there’s the sheer magnificence of the world’s largest waterfall in Victoria Falls. Beyond that, however, lies an offering of African riches. Hwange National Park has world-class wildlife sightings, Lake Kariba offers a unique watery setting and Mana Pools National Park, alongside the Zambezi River, provides some of the continent’s most thrilling wildlife experiences.
Zimbabwe is an alluring landlocked country with dramatic landscapes, a near perfect climate, and warm friendly people. It’s the safari destination of choice for adventurous travellers who have a bit of a thrill-seeker in them. It’s proudly home to two World Heritage sites: the mighty Victoria Falls – also one of the 7 Natural Wonders of the World, and Mana Pools, where a plethora of wildlife awaits to be seen. Witness breathtaking sunsets over Lake Kariba as herds of wildlife wander its shores. Near the north-western border lies Hwange National Park, known for its vast elephant population (the second largest in the world) and a plethora of other wildlife including buffalo and leopards.
The drier winter months from May to October are best for game viewing due to its milder temperatures, minimal rainfall and a low malaria risk.
