City and Bush, Birding and Boating -- Zimbabwe Had It All!
From the time we arrived in Zimbabwe, my wife and I had nothing to plan or deliberate during our entire stay. All transportation was prompt, clean, and courteous. We enjoyed a sunset cruise down the Zambezi in Vic Falls, lunch at the gorge, and drinks at the bar at Bayete. Zambezi Sands was AMAZING and truly felt remote while also luxe. We enjoyed plenty of gin and tonic sundowners, a brief pontoon boat trip, many game drives with plenty of wildlife, and the real highlight was kayaking the mighty Zambezi River. We'll never forget being that close to hippos and crocs and the one section of rapids was a rush. Dinner was phenomenal, John and the staff were incredible hosts, and the nighttime campfires made us feel right at home with other guests we'd just met.

Zimbabwe is amazing! The people are warm, friendly, hospitable, and also professional.
In Harare we stayed four nights in probably the best B&B we have ever stayed in. The Victoria Falls are of course magnificent.
The Wildlife in Hwange is abundant, including the big five (apart from Rhinos), and the little five. Our guides were incredibly passionate and professional. Walking safaris are highly recommended. Nothing beats being up close and personal with the animals and the bush. The sweet smell of true savannah grassland is something I have not experienced anywhere else, nor will I forget the pungent smell of a hyena den.
The standard of accommodation and service in both camps (Bomani and Camp Hwange) was exceptional. All staff worked really hard to make us feel valued and welcome. It still confounds me how these camps manage to create restaurant quality meals with the freshest ingredients in the middle of the bush.
All our transfers were spot on. The

hire car pick up at Harare International Airport was the easiest least stressful pick up EVER! The best transfer in the world has got to be the Elephant Express! A restored open air railway carriage, which transfers guests from Dete siding to Bomani/Camelthorn camps along the main Zimbabwe railway line. We were served a delicious lunch and saw as much game in 2 hours as any of the game drives; lion, zebra, giraffe, sable to name a few.Please don't be put off visiting this wonderful country by negative media stories. The normal everyday Zimbabweanz are probably the friendliest most hospitable people in the world. You arrive as guests but leave as friends.

The animals were amazing (especially the elephant container) and staying at Jozi camp was perfect!
The food for this trip was wonderful. All the staff were so helpful. Gorges Lodge, Bomani Lodge and Jozi camp were perfect! The only thing that was not great was the ride from Gorges to Bomani and Bomain back to Victoria Falls. Suzanne was ssoooooo helpful!

Zimbabwe was amazing, wild and beautiful.
The wildlife is plentiful and so beautiful. I loved seeing them in their natural habitat and the water holes are incredible to watch from the elevated viewing platform.
The scenery is unbeatable, especially Victoria Falls.
The weather was hot, but tolerable. No rain unless you count the Falls.
Take a helicopter ride over the Falls, so worth it.

Go to Zimbabwe it's wonderful
Amazing. We went to Mana Pools, had 3 days canoeing down the Zambezi then on to Hwange National Park finishing at Victoria Falls for a couple of days. Wildlife and birds - wonderful and so varied. The camps clean and food amazing. All staff were obviously happy in their work and the guides so informative - how do they spot so much. And of course Victoria Falls, one of the wonders of the world - enough said.

Our only experience is Hwange NP and Vic Falls, but both of these were excellent and I understand the guiding to be of high quality throughout the country.

Excellent opportunities to see big game and exotic birds in an almost indescribable setting.

a country I will visit as many times. I suggests tourists start going into the depth of the country not only what is shown when you google.

Zimbabwe is a safe country to drive in. Car hire is easy, efficient and there are plenty of places to go for fuel and supplies. The roads are generally good and there are things to see all over the place. National Parks all over the country where the wildlife viewing is varied as well as plentiful. The birdlife is out of this world. Zimbabwe has the advantage of having diverse soil types hosting diverse vegetation and therefore diverse flora and fauna. From the Dry Semi-desert of the South East and South West to the Pristine forests and perrenial streams of the Eastern Highlands.
