ZIMBABWE
THE SMOKE THAT THUNDERS
Zimbabwe offers a powerful blend of dramatic scenery, exceptional wildlife, and iconic experiences — anchored by Victoria Falls, the largest waterfall in Africa and one of the continent’s most awe‑inspiring natural wonders. From here, your journey can unfold across Zimbabwe’s premier safari regions, including Hwange, Mana Pools, and Lake Kariba, where twice‑daily game drives reveal thriving wildlife at sunrise and sunset, with a restful siesta during the warm midday hours. Beyond traditional safaris, Zimbabwe offers unique ways to experience the wilderness: houseboating on Lake Kariba, combining water‑based and land‑based game viewing; guided bush walks that bring you closer to wildlife in their natural habitat; and a range of exhilarating activities at Victoria Falls, from bungee jumping (one of the highest jumps in the world) to white‑water rafting, ziplining, and even a dip in the famous Devil’s Armchair, perched on the edge of the Falls. For a breathtaking aerial perspective, helicopter and microlight flights showcase the full scale of the gorge and the thundering cascade. Zimbabwe’s hospitality is equally memorable, with a choice of luxury lodges, boutique hotels, and classic “Out of Africa”‑style tented camps. For a touch of timeless elegance, journeys can be paired with Rovos Rail, one of the most luxurious trains in the world. Zimbabwe also combines seamlessly with Botswana, Zambia, and South Africa
BEST TIME TO TRAVEL:
The dry winter months from May to October offer peak game viewing as wildlife gathers around water sources and visibility is at its best. Victoria Falls is at its most dramatic between April and May, when the water levels are high and the spray rises like smoke above the gorge.
