With some of Africa’s finest guides, the thundering torrent of Victoria Falls, and unspoiled wilderness teeming with wildlife, Zimbabwe has become a first-class safari destination. Among the top Zimbabwe tourist attractions are Hwange National Park, known for its big cats, elephants, and over 100 mammal species, and Mana Pools National Park, where wild dogs roam the lush floodplains along the Zambezi River. Lake Kariba also offers unforgettable sunset boat trips with views of hippos, crocodiles, and African fish eagles. Our experts can help you plan the best Zimbabwe tours and guide you through the most remarkable places to visit in Zimbabwe based on firsthand experience.
Lake Kariba is one of the largest artificial lakes in the world, found along the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia.
Standing between Zimbabwe and Zambia across the Zambezi River is the Victoria Falls Bridge. This 1905 engineering marvel provides spectacular views of the falls and gorge below.
Hwange National Park is Zimbabwe's largest game reserve, renowned for its huge herds of elephants, cats, zebras, and numerous mammals (over 100). It is located between Bulawayo and Victoria Falls.
Victoria Falls, locally known as Mosi-oa-Tunya ("The Smoke That Thunders"), was named one of the World's Seven Natural Wonders.
Mana Pools National Park is literally in the middle of nowhere, a pristine wilderness tucked away along the Zambezi River, and is well regulated, with policies attached to walking safaris (with longer tracks or days), as well as canoeing on the Zambezi River.
