THE SMOKE THAT THUNDERS’
No holiday is complete without a visit to Victoria Falls, one of the seven natural wonders of the world. Situated on the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia, they are one of the largest waterfalls on earth and offers a plethora of activities for the adventure-minded tourist including ziplining, white water rafting, and an unforgettable helicopter tour for a bird’s eye view. For a more relaxed approach, take a sunset cruise along the Zambezi River.
Tourists don’t just come here for the waterfalls – experience incredible wildlife encounters in Hwange National Park, which has one of the largest elephant populations, as well as over 100 other animals including the other members of the ‘Big 5’.
Scenic Lake Kariba is one of the world’s largest man-made lakes, and is another haven for Zimbabwe’s rich wildlife, with pods of hippos and crocodiles as well as a wealth of game animals including, lions, buffalos, cheetahs and antelopes, coming to its shores for water.
A holiday in Zimbabwe is full of life-changing experiences. What’s more, its position makes it the perfect place to see more of southern Africa. There isn’t a direct flight to Zimbabwe, so why not combine your trip with some time in incredible Cape Town? Or head across the border to neighbouring Botswana and the remarkable Chobe National Park?
