Amazing Zimbabwe holidays & tours

Serene lakeside lodges. Acres of untamed wilderness. Friendly, welcoming locals. Incredible wildlife. And one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the world. Welcome to Zimbabwe.
This south-east African nation offers up wild beauty in spades. Our Zimbabwe tours whisk you to its unspoiled national parks, giving you the chance to dine under star-filled skies, cruise along tranquil rivers, watch burnt-orange sunsets, feel the spray of Victoria Falls and witness wildlife encounters straight out of ‘Planet Earth’.
And best of all, you’ll have some of these unforgettable experiences almost to yourself. When it comes to safaris, Zimbabwe isn’t as well known as the likes of Kenya and South Africa – but that’s all part of its appeal. Game reserves here see just a fraction of the visitors you might get in Kruger or the Maasai Mara, so it’s often just you, your group and the wildlife. You’ll have the chance to spy the Big Five, plus plenty more – think giraffes, zebras, wildebeest and birdlife galore.
Exploring by air, boat and 4WD, we get closer to nature on our tour In the Footsteps of Livingstone, which combines Zimbabwe with Botswana’s Chobe National Park - just what the doctor ordered. Or you can add in South Africa too, on our Tracks of Africa tour.

What our experts love about Zimbabwe
A highlight for many when travelling to Zimbabwe is to see the might of Victoria Falls and to witness it at its very best I recommend visiting in July or August. If you however want to see the raw power of the Falls, travel in April or May - however expect to get quite wet, as the spray can reach over 400 metres into the air!
What are the best places to visit in Zimbabwe?
Known as one of the best safari destinations in Africa, the country’s national parks top the must-visit list on Zimbabwe holidays, with the opportunity to spot the Big Five and more, plus a chance to experience the spectacular Victoria Falls.

Zambezi National Park
Next door to Victoria Falls National Park, it’s easy to combine with the country’s famous waterfalls, with the two parks covering an area of 56,000 hectares in total. Home to the Big Four – elephant, lion, leopard and buffalo but no rhinos – as well as other animals including giraffe, wild dogs and antelopes, the Zambezi National Park includes a stretch running for 40km along the Zambezi River and it’s even possible to canoe here, as well as taking boat cruises.

Mosi-oa-Tunya (Victoria Falls)
One of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, the pre-colonial name of ‘Mosi-oa-Tunya' (the smoke that thunders) perfectly describes this force of nature. Discovered by Livingstone in 1885, this mile-wide curtain of water freefalls down the rockface for almost a quarter of a mile, causing mists that can be seen from up to 12 miles away. Around 75% of the falls are in Zimbabwe, with the remainder in Zambia, lying along the border between the two countries. With viewpoints dotted through the national park to give you different sights of the falls, it’s an unforgettable spectacle.

Zambezi River
While game drives are always a highlight of Zimbabwe holidays, getting the chance to see the country’s wildlife from the water makes for a particularly special memory. Head out towards the end of the day for a sundowner cruise on the Zambezi River and you can gaze out to the animals in the river itself and at the water’s edge, all while sipping a cool drink yourself as the sun sinks below the horizon.

Hwange National Park
Zimbabwe’s largest wildlife area covers 14,650 square kilometres, with around 100 species of mammal and 400 species of bird at Hwange National Park. One of the best places in the world to see elephants, there are over 40,000 of these majestic animals living in the park. You can also spot the remainder of the Big Five, along with zebras, giraffe, cheetahs, hyenas and wild dogs. Despite this array of natural riches, the park is much quieter than more famous reserves in other countries, so you’ll avoid the crowds as you marvel at the wildlife.
