Everything you need to know about Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe hosts many incredible safari destinations. Here are some of the top destinations to include in your Zimbabwe safari:

  • Victoria Falls: The world-famous Victoria Falls - Africa's adventure capital - marks the spot where the mighty Zambezi River gathers its strength and tumbles into a series of dramatic gorges 100 metres below - the single largest continuous falling curtain of water in the world

  • Chitake Springs: In the remote southern reaches of Mana Pools National Park, Chitake Springs provides the only water source during the dry season for concentrations of wildlife

  • Hwange National Park: Hwange—Zimbabwe's oldest and largest national park—is famous for its massive buffalo and elephant herds and large male lions. It also hosts one of Africa's largest wild dog (painted wolf) populations.

  • Mana Pools National Park: Mana Pools National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site nestled between the Zambezi River to the north and the Zambezi Escarpment to the south - the home of unguided walking safaris

  • Gonarezhou National Park: Part of the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park, this remote area is ideal for those seeking solitude and spectacular landscapes.

  • Matobo National Park: Known for its dramatic granite formations and rhino tracking opportunities.

The Zimbabwe safari seasons

The dry season (May to October) is ideal for wildlife viewing, as animals congregate around water sources.

The Zambezi River water levels are high from February to July, peaking in April. The levels drop after the April peak and are low from August to January. High water levels mean a spectacular waterfall display at a sometimes deafening volume and a heavy mist that rises up to 400m above the Falls - the smoke that thunders. Low water levels mean a clear view of the Falls, exciting river rafting and less mist to fog your camera lens.

Bird enthusiasts should visit during the wet season when migratory species are present.

Travel in Africa is about knowing when and where to go, and with whom. A few weeks too early/late or a few kilometres off course, and you could miss the greatest show on Earth. And wouldn’t that be a pity?
