Zimbabwe holidays

What can you find on Zimbabwe holidays that you can’t find anywhere else?

Victoria Falls is of course a focal point of any Zimbabwe holiday and is one of the country’s original blockbusters. Known by locals as the ‘smoke that thunders’, its billowing mist and impressive bellow can be seen and heard from over 25 miles away. Take a tour along the front of the falls on a dreamy sunset cruise or, if your youngsters are looking for an adrenaline kick, soar overhead in an open-sided helicopter for the ultimate bird’s-eye-view through the mist. If time allows, abseil down a section of the falls for a more up-close-and-personal experience with this cascading watery wonderland.

Zimbabwe holidays are perfect for wildlife afficionados too. Zimbabwe's guides are renowned as the best in the world and when on safari it won’t take long for you to see why. Glorious African heat washes over you as your guide seeks out playful lion cubs, dancing wildebeest and soaring vultures. Head out on foot to spot the so-called ‘Little Five’ (elephants shrews, buffalo weavers, leopard tortoises, antlions and rhino beetles) where your little ones can get up close and personal with the smaller species that call Zimbabwe home. Watch from the comfort of a 4x4 as the very rare wild dogs of Mana Pools come to drink or feel the thrill of having a lone male elephant wander past while you scrabble for your binoculars.
