Escorted Tours & Guided Holidays to Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe is a country of extraordinary natural spectacle and deep-rooted history, and no experience captures both quite like standing at the edge of Victoria Falls. Known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya — the smoke that thunders - this immense curtain of water stands double the height of Canada's Niagara Falls, sending clouds of spray high into the sky and filling the air with a roar that can be heard for miles. The first viewing by a European was explorer Dr David Livingstone in 1855, who named them in honour of Queen Victoria, the falls remain one of the defining sights of the natural world - and Zimbabwe's unobstructed vantage points allow visitors to feel their full, breathtaking force. Beyond the falls, the mighty Zambezi offers sunset cruises of lingering beauty. A short drive south lies Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe's largest and most celebrated game reserve, where ancient teak forests provide a rich and varied habitat for remarkable concentrations of wildlife. Hwange's elephant herds are world-famous, and the park is also a vital stronghold for the endangered African wild dog, protected through dedicated conservation programmes that have become a model for the continent.
From the thunderous majesty of Victoria Falls to the sunlit plains of Hwange at dusk, Zimbabwe delivers experiences of a scale and intensity that stay with travellers long after they return home.
