From wild parks to the roar of the falls

Zimbabwe offers a dual appeal, with magnificent, uncrowded parks and a masterful gateway to the thundering falls. Victoria Falls. The country is often combined with South Africa but also represents a destination in its own right. You absolutely must not miss one of the 7 wonders of the world, the Falls, and depending on your interests, you can then explore the Hwange National Park (classic and birdwatching safaris), the Mana Pools National Park (4x4 and canoe safaris), the Lake Kariba (classic safaris and fishing) or the Malilangwe Private Reserve (the ultimate for observing the Big 5).
