Useful Information

Zimbabwe is the proud custodian of one of Nature's 7 wonders, Victoria Falls, which it shares with neighbouring Zambia. This magnificent waterfall tumbles into the Zambezi River and is also known as 'The Smoke that Thunders'.

After having endured some turbulent political history, Zimbabwe has fought hard to bring back Mother Nature's charm and provide a home for the many animals that have found their way back to the safe havens of Zimbabwe's National Parks.

Mana Pools is home to some stylish luxury lodges, and one of the biggest wild dog populations in Southern Africa; while Hwange National Park is known for its overwhelming elephant population.

Zimbabwe is a country less discovered and here, guests will find flourishing beauty in the smaller parks, such as Gonarezhou, Matusadona and Lake Kariba, which is famous for one of the biggest wildlife relocation projects, Operation Noah.

Hwange National Park is Zimbabwe’s largest and most pristine national park renowned for its fantastic concentrations of elephants that have migrated back to this historically troubled land.

Mana Pools National Park is located at the heart of the Zambezi Valley; a remote and magnificent park hosting large concentrations of buffalo and elephant, as well as predators such as lion, wild dog, leopard and cheetah.

Lake Kariba is situated on the Zambezi River in Zimbabwe. It is one of the largest lakes in the world offering remarkable natural beauty protected by some of the finest nature reserves and promising an abundance of wildlife.

Some of our top Zimbabwe lodges include the intimate Little Makololo Camp in Hwange;  Ruckomechi Camp , situated on the western boundary of Mana Pools; the luxurious Singita Pamushana Lodge  in Malilangwe Reserve; and  Somalisa Camp  in Hwange.
