Overview
Special Offer Details
From Victoria Falls to thrilling safaris in Hwange to Lake Kariba and Mana Pools - enjoy exclusive savings on your 2026 Zimbabwe adventure.
One of the most influential yet least understood countries in Africa, Zimbabwe invites you to discover its natural wonders and sensational wildlife on this 10-day Southern Africa safari.
Begin at the world’s largest sheet of falling water, Victoria Falls. Also known as The Smoke That Thunders, this incredible landmark plunges the Zambezi River into a series of narrow canyons. Carved by the river itself, each one is a former threshold for the falls you see today. Spend your day marveling at the falls from every angle before an evening of traditional food and entertainment at The Boma Dinner and Drum Show.
A short flight takes you to Hwange National Park, the jewel in Zimbabwe’s wildlife crown. Famous for its plentiful elephant herds, Hwange is also a great place to see lions, giraffes, hippos, hyenas, and even cheetahs if you’re lucky. In addition to (or instead of) your game drives, you can opt for a walking safari or a visit to Hwange Main Camp Village.
Your next destination on your Zimbabwe vacation is Lake Kariba. The world’s largest artificial lake, it now supports a diverse eco-system with an impressive range of wildlife. It’s also one of Africa’s best destinations for boating, fishing and water sports. Keep one eye on the shore though, as you never know what majestic beasts will stop by to enjoy the cool waters.
Your Zimbabwe safari ends with three nights at Mana Pools, a pristine wilderness region and World Heritage Site on Zimbabwe’s northern border. Again, elephants thrive in this region, alongside lions, hippos, hyenas, and many more species. A sharp eye can also catch a leopard every so often, but having an expert guide at your side will greatly increase your chances (luckily, Mana Pools is famous for having some of the best guides in Africa). You can also go boating, take a canoe safari, or try some catch and release fishing before you depart.
