In the heart of Southern Africa’s wildest lands, Zimbabwe’s untamed beauty and sheer proximity of game make it a much loved destination for our more frequent African travelers. A Zimbabwe safari offers an enriching experience, with Hwange National Park hosting a 40,000 strong population of tusker elephants. Mana Pools is famed for its first-class walking safaris, offering up-close-and personal elephant and wild dog encounters, hosted by the most qualified guides in Africa. Witness the spectacular Victoria Falls in full flood and then cruise the mighty Zambezi at sunset, past dense pods of hippos and giant crocodiles, for a life-affirming experience.

Landlocked Zimbabwe sits in the heart of Southern Africa and offers visitors a breathtaking diversity of landscapes and iconic sites.

Whether it’s a bucket-list adventure, a milestone celebration or simply a much-needed escape, experience the joy with this inspiring selection of favorites.
Zimbabwe has distinct green and dry seasons. The dry season is between June to October, and with thrilling game viewing, pleasant temperatures and virtually no rain, this can be the best time to visit. For Victoria Falls, it is worth noting April and May usually offers the most dramatic experience when the falls are in full flow, but some safari camps close during the heavy rain months.
