Get to Know Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe is a rewarding safari destination, home to the mysterious ruined city after which it is named, the thundering Victoria Falls, and the green and rugged Eastern Highlands.
The country’s flagship safari attraction is the immense Hwange National Park, renowned for its large herds of elephants (especially in the dry season), plentiful big cats, and other wildlife.
Mana Pools National Park offers a more singular adventure, which lies on the southern bank of the Zambezi River below the Kariba Dam. It provides incredible canoeing safaris and the opportunity to walk freely among big game.
Also worthwhile is Matusadona National Park, which overlooks Lake Kariba and is famed for supporting several thousand-strong herds of buffalo, a dense lion population, and one of Zimbabwe’s last Black rhino populations.
