Zimbabwe Safaris
Zimbabwe is one of the great game countries and Hwange National Park has more than four hundred species of bird and one hundred species of animal.
Lake Kariba is another of Zimbabwe's premier sites and also provides the country with an inland sea on which visitors may water-ski, sail or fish for the feisty tiger fish.
Mana Pools National Park is one of Zimbabwe's two world heritage sites. Here the Zambezi has become far less urgent in its journey to the sea, as it spreads out over the flood plain. It's here where canoe trips and canoe safaris come into their own.
Highlights of a Zimbabwe Safari
- Africa's largest waterfall, the Victoria Falls
- Zimbabwe's largest wildlife haven at Hwange National Park
- The vast expanse of beautiful Lake Kariba
- The unspoilt wilderness of the Mana Pools National Park

Hwange National Park
Hwange is absolutely wonderful for elephant watching. Over twenty thousand roam the park in herds of up to a hundred, browsing, bathing at waterholes and roaming at will. They give the visitor some idea of how Africa was once but will never be again.
Hwange is located in the far west of Zimbabwe, abutting the Botswana border, and its 14,620 square kilometres of wilderness make it Zimbabwe's largest national park and one of the largest in Africa.
Mana Pools National Park
Mana Pools lies in the northern part of Zimbabwe, and on the southern side of the Zambezi river. After Victoria Falls, the mighty Zambezi flows from Lake Kariba through a huge rift in the earth's crust: the Lower Zambezi Valley, marking the border with Zambia as it goes down its way to the Indian Ocean.
Over millenia, the Zambezi has created islands, channels and sandbanks in the valley, and as it changed its course northwards enabled small ox-bow lakes to shape. The name 'Mana' means four in the local Shona language, as a reference to the four pools situated around the parks headquarters.
