Zimbabwe is a remarkable destination known for its stunning landscapes, diverse wildlife, and rich cultural heritage. While it is famously home to the iconic Victoria Falls, the country also offers lesser-known gems like Hwange and Mana Pools, both of which are equally deserving of a place on any traveler’s itinerary.
Victoria Falls
Victoria Falls, also known as Mosi-oa-Tunya (“The Smoke That Thunders”), is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. You can view the falls from the rainforest, take a helicopter ride for a unique perspective, or visit the Devil’s Pool at the edge for an adrenaline rush. The area is also known for adventure activities like white-water rafting on the Zambezi River and bungee jumping from the Victoria Falls Bridge.
Hwange National Park is Zimbabwe’s largest park and home to over 40,000 elephants, along with the Big Five: lions, leopards, rhinos, buffalo, and elephants. Game drives offer opportunities to see these iconic animals up close in their natural habitat.
Mana Pools National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offers unique safari experiences through canoeing and walking safaris. Explore the Zambezi River’s banks and encounter hippos, elephants, and wild dogs in a more intimate setting.
Zimbabwe offers excellent wildlife viewing throughout the year. The dry season (May–October) is ideal for game viewing, while the green season (November–April) is perfect for birdwatching and seeing lush landscapes.
Zimbabwe provides a more exclusive safari experience, with fewer tourists compared to other African destinations. Enjoy wildlife encounters, bush walks, and quiet moments in nature without the crowds.
