Zimbabwe’s wildlife guides are still recognised as the best in Africa, but these days you’re more likely to find them working abroad, as visitors are shy of visiting Mugabe’s troubled home. In this troubled atmosphere you can still be assured of a wonderful wildlife experience, with excellent game viewing in a large number of National Parks. Highlights include canoeing in the Mana Pools, rafting downstream from Victoria Falls, boating on Lake Kariba and meeting the fantastic game of Matusadona, Hwange and the Matobo Hills. Cultural sights include the ruins of Great Zimbabwe and several beautiful rock art sites.

Zimbabwe Travel Tips


  • Game viewing is best during the dry months of May to October.
  • The Victoria Falls are at their most powerful between April and July.
  • A wide range of adventurous activities and different styles of accommodation can easily be combined in one trip.
