Zimbabwe - Making its way back into the tourist market, Zimbabwe is able to offer some incredible wilderness and exciting wildlife, along with the wonder that is Victoria Falls.
Zimbabwe's political climate and issues have been well documented through the world's media, and it is no secret that tourist numbers to the country have dropped substantially.
However, everything which made Zimbabwe one of the most popular safari destinations is still available, with operators moving back into the world famous areas of Hwange, Mana Pools, the Lower Zambezi and Lake Kariba.
Victoria Falls thunders mightily on the Zambezi River, and the canoeing and rafting experiences are as exciting as ever.
The people of Zimbabwe have always been one of the major highlights, and it is particularly pleasing that tourists are filtering through the borders again, rewarding the patience of the fantastic guides and conservation workers who have remained dedicated to Zimbabwe's wildlife areas.
One of the most requested destinations by all tourists to Africa, Victoria Falls offers more than just a spectacular, roaring waterfall. It is the base of many exciting and world famous activities.
The legendary wilderness of Mana Pools invites you to explore Africa as it has been for centuries. With guided walks, canoeing safaris, and fishing excursions, Mana Pools allows for an active and memorable safari.
Easily accessible, and with an astonishing concentration of wildlife, Hwange National Park is one of the most popular in Zimbabwe, and is bound to show you a plethora of wildlife.
About 30 kilometres south of Bulawayo, Matobo National Park is visited for its other-worldly rocky landscapes, historical and cultural significance, wildlife sightings, bushman paintings and walking excursions.
Combining well with Hwange National Park and Victoria Falls in the north, and the Great Zimbabwe Ruins to the east, Matobo National Park offers something a bit different from the usual safari and wildlife areas.
Shared with Zambia, Lake Kariba offers travellers some respite from the rigours of safari, with beautiful scenery, relaxing house boats, and fun water activities.
