why Discover Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe is a land of wild contrasts: from the thunderous roar of Victoria Falls to empty wilderness far from crowds; from ancient stone cities to rich wildlife preserves. It offers some of Africa’s best safari experiences (with outstanding elephants, predators, rare species), custom adventure (rafting, walking safaris, canoeing), heritage in places like Great Zimbabwe, spiritual and geological wonders in Matobo Hills, and beauty in remote parks few visit. For travellers who want both nature’s drama and cultural depth, Zimbabwe gives both—and often with fewer tourists, which makes it feel more raw and real.
Victoria Falls / Livingstone-Zambezi Region
Victoria Falls (Mosi-oa-Tunya) is the crown jewel; see the falls from viewpoints, take helicopter flights (“Flight of Angels”), zipline, raft the Zambezi, or cross the Victoria Falls Bridge. Also nearby, Batoka Gorge offers white-water rafting and scenic views.
Hwange / Western Lowveld
Zimbabwe’s largest national park; outstanding wildlife including large herds of elephants, predators like lions and wild dogs, vast birdlife. Safari drives, stay in private lodges or camps.
Mana Pools & Zambezi Valley
Canoeing and walking safaris in the floodplains; excellent wildlife viewing along the river; big populations of hippos, crocodiles, predators; especially scenic in dry season.
Eastern Highlands (Nyanga, Chimanimani, Mount Nyangani)
Rugged mountainous terrain, misty forests, hiking trails, waterfalls (Nyanga has several), cooler climate, views, and relatively fewer tourists.
Great Zimbabwe & Masvingo Region / Matobo Hills / Bulawayo
Great Zimbabwe ruins (UNESCO) for ancient architecture; Matobo Hills (rock formations, San rock art, spiritual sites like Njelele Shrine, balancing rocks); Bulawayo city with colonial history and museums.
Lake Kariba & Inland/Northern Wilderness Parks
Lake Kariba (one of the largest artificial lakes in the world; houseboats, fishing, wildlife), remote parks like Chizarira, Matusadona, and lesser-known wilderness reserves (Mavuradonha) for remote safari and birding.
