About Zimbabwe Safari

Zimbabwe is quietly staging one of Africa's greatest safari comebacks. Victoria Falls — one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World — is the continent's adventure capital. Hwange National Park holds the largest elephant population in Africa (40,000+). Mana Pools is the birthplace of the walking safari and among the world's most exclusive wilderness areas. Zimbabwe's exceptional guides, uncrowded parks, and world-class camps at competitive prices make it exceptional value.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Zimbabwe safe for safari tourists?

Zimbabwe's national parks and main tourist areas are safe for visitors. Victoria Falls, Hwange, and Mana Pools all have well-established tourism infrastructure. Zimbabwe's guides are considered some of the best in Africa — many hold the prestigious FGASA Professional Field Guide qualification.

What makes Mana Pools special?

Mana Pools is one of the few parks in Africa where you can walk freely without a guide — an extraordinary privilege. It's famous for wild dogs, lions hunting in the Zambezi floodplain, and the rare spectacle of elephants standing on their hind legs to reach acacia pods. One of Africa's most exclusive experiences.
