There are so many highlights in this fascinating country that it is impossible to list them all here. Our travel consultants will discuss your interests and be able to put a specific itinerary together for you, but below are a few must see’s!
HWANGE NATIONAL PARK
Situated on the border with Botswana, Hwange National Park is the largest game reserve in Zimbabwe. Its 1.4 million hectares of sandy soils support widespread stands of broad-leafed woodland that, despite the low rainfall, are an abundance of green during the summer months. Saltpans, acacia scrub and grasslands complete this “savannah mosaic”.
MANA POOLS
Mana Pools National Park is one of Zimbabwe’s most remote and beautiful areas. The core of some 1.7 million hectares of UNESCO World Heritage conservation estate, its views of the broad river, floodplains, riverine woodland and the mountains of the Rift Valley escarpment are spectacular. The river is wide, sandy, with islands and sandbanks protruding from its brown waters.
HARARE
More attractive than most other Southern African capitals, Harare is a safe and laid-back city where wide avenues are lined with dusty red earth and indigenous plants and blooming purple jacarandas give a lovely African summertime feel. Stay awhile, to sample, fine dining, museums, craft markets and varied bars.
GREAT ZIMBABWE
The mysterious ruined city of Great Zimbabwe dates to the 11th to 15th centuries AD and remains the emblem and heart of the nation. The Unesco World Heritage-listed site provides evidence that ancient Africa reached a level of civilisation not suspected by earlier scholars.
