Zimbabwe Safaris

Our hand-picked Zimbabwe safari holidays

In Zimbabwe, luxury comes in the form of tented camps based in lesser visited parks where you can experience safari at a walking pace with some of the most revered guides on the continent. 


Mana Pools is such a place where stepping out into the hazy morning light is to see a vision of the wilderness long before the arrival of man. Colourful carmine-bee-eaters swarm the riverbanks, impala dart across the plains and elephants swagger through the bush, occasionally rearing up on their hind legs to reach the seeded tops of the acacia trees. To the south-west lies Lake Kariba’s red-sand deserted islands and glassy lake waters evoking a sense of old-world charm. Sunrise draws fishermen paddling out to catch kapenta fish while an evening river cruise might unveil huge pods of wallowing hippo against a backdrop of fiery sunset colours. Hwange National Park, a safari heavyweight by contrast, invites big game spotting and intense wildlife encounters including one of the largest populations of elephant in the world. 


No trip to Zimbabwe would be complete without seeing the mighty Victoria Falls. The world’s largest sheet of falling water stretches over 1,700m and plunges 100m into a mighty gorge creating a thundering sound heard from miles away. For several months each year, visitors gather to see the rare lunar rainbow refracting off the plumes of spray and arching into a cloudless starry sky. See the falls in a high-octane heli-ride to soak up their sheer size or peer over the cliff edge at Devil’s Pool, a natural infinity pool that forms, in the dry season, right at the precipice. Then cruise along the Zambezi River at dusk, cocktail in hand – the perfect finale. 


Even though Zimbabwe is safe to travel and slowly regaining its status as one of Africa’s greats, it’s wise to talk to a destination expert about exactly how to discover one of the most scenic places in Africa.
