Safari OverviewSince the 11th century, the landlocked southern African country of Zimbabwe has been the site of several kingdoms, a British colony and most recently a struggling democracy. But one thing has remained constant, and that is the country’s stunning natural beauty. It is not without reason that the country was known as the “Jewel of Africa” the world over. Luckily it is once again emerging as a safari vacation highlight of the continent. Zimbabwe boasts some of the top attractions and parks on the continent, including the world-famous Victoria Falls, the massive Hwange National Park, the water wonderland of man-made Lake Kariba, the ancient city of Great Zimbabwe, and many more. Protected areas cover an astonishing 12.5% of the total land area of the country, and hosts around 200 species of mammals, almost 700 bird species, 131 fish species and many other fascinating species of fauna and flora.
This fantastic 7-day safari includes a guided visit to the majestic and iconic Victoria Falls, a boat cruise on the mighty Zambezi river, as well as game viewing in one of the best reserves in Africa, Hwange National Park. The tour offers a perfect mix of natural beauty, classic African wildlife viewing, fabulous accommodation, excellent birdwatching, great food and service, and so much more. Let’s go on an adventure in Zimbabwe!
This tour can be done as a standalone tour, or you can add an extension to Mana Pools National Park, Lake Kariba, an additional night or two in Victoria Falls, and much more.
