Overview of the suggested Zimbabwe safari lodges and activities:

Every safari to Zimbabwe should incorporate time in the country’s biggest national park, Hwange. It boasts the highest diversity of game out of any park in Africa, with the chance of seeing 108 different mammals. However, it is the elephants that steal the show, with huge herds often congregating around the watering holes. With photographic hides strategically placed nearby, Hwange offers some of the best up-close-and-personal elephant experiences and photographic opportunities.

With Victoria Falls close by, it makes perfect sense to combine the two destinations when looking at a trip to Zimbabwe. The Falls themselves are an impressive spectacle that draws big numbers, but there is so much more to do there! Numerous adrenaline-fuelled activities are available, while for those wanting a little more relaxation, why not enjoy sunset cruises on the Zambezi river to the sound of hippos while enjoying a G&T? There is something for everyone here, and it’s well worth staying two to three nights!
