Zimbabwe
About Zimbabwe
Be amazed by the spectacular Victoria Falls, one of the world’s great natural wonders that borders Zimbabwe and Zambia. Spend your days thrill-seeking with adventure activities such as white water rafting, kayaking and bungee jumping. Those who don’t want to take on the rapids can experience a water-based game viewing cruise while on a houseboat on Lake Kariba. Alternatively, try an African safari in Hwange National Park, where you’re likely to hear the roar of a lion pride out hunting at dusk. No wonder Zimbabwe is colloquially referred to as the adrenaline capital of Southern Africa.

Be Amazed by the Victoria Falls
In addition to its safaris, a trip to Zimbabwe gives you the opportunity to visit Victoria Falls. In fact, no trip would be complete without it. Be amazed by the smoke that thunders and get a bird’s eye view from a helicopter. Or take a delightful cruise to have an alternative view, especially at sunset.
Go on an African Safari
Go on an African safari in Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe’s largest national park, where you’re likely to catch a whiff of the musky elephant marching past your game drive vehicle in search of its next waterhole.
Paddle Down the Zambezi
Paddle silently down the mighty Zambezi river in a two-man canoe. Enjoy the tranquillity of the river, fabulous birdwatching and wildlife encounters unlike any other.
