Zimbabwe is home to a great number of amazing sites. From the mighty Victoria Falls and beautiful Hwange National Park in the west to the Great Zimbabwean ruins and Gweru in the centre. This land-locked country will not fail to impress. To help you decide where to go we've listed ten of the very best places to visit in Zimbabwe.
Top 10 Destinations in Zimbabwe
OUR PICK #1
Victoria Falls
The crowning jewel of Zimbabwe and certainly one of the best places to visit in the country, Victoria Falls is a small town on the east side of one of the world's great waterfalls. On the Zimbabwe side, the falls lie within the wildlife-rich Victoria Falls National Park. From a forest path which runs along the edge of the falls, there are a number of spectacular vantage points, although prepare to get very wet from the spray. Victoria Falls is the adventure capital of Africa with an array of air, water and land-based activities. For a spectacular birds-eye view, take a Flight of Angels helicopter ride or an exhilarating micro light flight over the falls, and for those brave enough there is the famous bungee jump.
OUR PICK #2
Hwange National Park
Hwange National Park is Zimbabwe’s biggest national park and is one of Africa’s finest for wildlife. It also holds the title of one of the best places in the world to see elephants, thanks to the population of over 40,000 of these majestic animals. The vast amount elephants isn’t the only wildlife calling card to this incredible park. Herds of buffalo, zebras, giraffe and the powerful predators of leopards, cheetahs, hyenas and wild dogs are all found here. Alongside over 400 different species of bird. The national park has public and private camping facilities so incredible wildlife encounters are available 24 hours. The park is situated on the main road between Bulawayo and Victoria Falls making it easily accessible after visiting the natural wonder. Although it is Zimbabwe's premier safari destination, Hwange is almost always quiet when compared to more famous reserves in other countries, making it a great option for an off-the-beaten track safari.
OUR PICK #3
Gweru
Located in the centre of Zimbabwe, the city of Gweru is the capital of the Midlands Province and the fifth largest city in the country. The city is a thriving industrial, commercial and agricultural centre, situated in one of Zimbabwe's finest cattle rearing areas and surrounded by extensive vineyards. Gweru is most famous for the Antelope Park, one of Zimbabwe's most popular tourist destinations. The park is home to the world famous ALERT lion rehabilitation programme as seen in the major UK documentary series 'Lion Country'. Read More…
