Named after the ruined civilisation
of centuries ago, Zimbabwe evokes
images of huge, game-rich plateaus,
the massive lake Kariba and the
incredible Victoria Falls.
The country is blessed with fertile
soils, mineral wealth and wonderful
scenery. Two major rivers form its
northern and southern boundaries.
The great Zambezi River cuts along
the northern frontier, while the
more languid Limpopo River forms
the southern boundary with South
Africa.

The Zambezi is a mighty river with
an exceptional variety of wonderful
scenery and activities; this
coupled with superb National Parks
which harbour immense herds and
great game viewing as well as one
of the world's natural
wonders - Victoria Falls, put
Zimbabwe at or near the top of our
recommended African safari
destinations. The National Parks
along the Zambezi are legendary.
Mana Pools and Matusadona are
located on the low lying
floodplains of Africa's Great Rift
Valley and offer extraordinary
game viewing, and remarkable
scenery; the mountains of the Rift
Valley form a picturesque backdrop
to both parks

Along the Botswana border, the
easternmost tongues of the
Kalahari sands creep into the
country and mix with the Teak
forests of the interior.
Desert-adapted animals live in
the same area as moist
woodland species. This is
Hwange National Park and home
to some of Southern Africa's
last great Elephant, Buffalo
and Sable herds.
The Linkwasha / Makalolo
concession within Hwange is
a truly wild area where animals
have no restrictions and can
migrate to and fro. There are
very few areas anywhere where
one can see Gemsbok, Sable
and Roan naturally. This area
also has Zimbabwe's best summer
game viewing.
