Although we saw quite a lot of wildlife, we did hope to see more but it seemed pretty quiet at the time we visited.

It seemed harder to find animals as we were driving around. We did see a lot at the two watering holes we went to.

For plus I can write that park is almost empty. You can trade the price because there is not so many people. But if you would like to see many different animals you can be disappointed. In Zimbabwe every park has something different, so you have to choosen what is interesting for you.

Mana has no dearth of wildlife, and it ticks all the boxes as a great safari destination

I am not a very enthusiastic birder but I can appreciate the large variety of species to view in the area.

A worthwhile destination to experience the beauty of Africa
Overall rating
4/5

Accommodation and service at the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge is excellent and I would highly recommend doing an elephant back safari, and the "Walking with Lions" experience. Walks around the falls can be done by oneself, but for the traveller who likes hearing the history a guide is worthwhile. Always ask your hotel for tips on where to shop for curios.

A Gem of Southern Africa

Zimbabwe away from the big cities in the unspoilt bush is a true wildlife and nature enthusiast's paradise. We visited the Victoria Falls area. The upsetting thing is that everything is charged for in US dollars which make it expensive. River rafting the 18 rapids on the Zambezi with the experienced guides make the trip a pleasure. Who has done 5 grade 5 rapids in one day? The safari lodges and hotel serve great food and it is recommended to visit a few for different dining experiences. The elephant back experience and the hot air balloon flight over Victoria Falls was magnificent. We stayed for two weeks in this area and it still felt not long enough. Petrol/ gas is a problem and one should fill up as often as possible if self driving. Great lodges, guesthouses and B&B's in the area with lots of friendly locals.

Zimbabwe is a good destination for safaris if you want to escape the many tourists that visit for example Masai Mara, Kenya.

My stay in Zimbabwe was a very memorable one. I had the good fortune of meeting some local guides on my first day in Victoria Falls, and so was able to see some local sights that I feel I wouldn't have otherwise. I watched the sunrise over the falls, went on bushwalks, and camped in places that were very secluded and special. Zimbabwe is a photographer's paradise, and the opportunities for good shots were endless. I was there during their fall/winter, and the weather was brisk at night, and very temperate during the day. I loved the food, especially some of the more exotic dishes, and in rare cases wild game meat. Though their economy has seen better times, the quality of safari available there, as well as the unmatched natural beauty, continue to make it a desirable destination for many adventurers, photographers, and wildlife enthusiasts. I truly hope that I can return to Zimbabwe soon, because there is more to see and do there than anyone could write about. Safari njema!
