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.

Zimbabwe has outstanding wildlife. The scenery is varied,and just lovely. The guides are the best trained in Africa. It also offers an outstanding bush vibe.

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

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.

The national parks in Zimbabwe are set in different geographical locations which offer bush, lakeside, cliffs or mountains and makes it very interersting and varied to visit. Its low level of tourists keeps safari very wild and the guides are usually of great knowledge. Birding is wonderful, with over 650 species of birds recorded in the country. Besides, there is the cultural heritage which is worth a visit too, like Great Zimbabwe, or ancient bushman paintings to be found all over the country.

Zimbabwe is a great place to visit. 20 years ago it was on the beaten track, then with 'the troubles' people stopped going. The wonderful places are still there - minus the tourists (at the moment!). Get there before everyone else does.
As explained above- LESS PEOPLE - More like the westerners Vision of a REAL Safari. Dirt Roads etc.

An Amazing Holiday
I had the pleasure of going on a holiday to Zimbabwe. My mum lived there so I visited her with my girlfriend. We spent two weeks going around Zimbabwe. We stayed at Matobo Hills just outside of Bulawayo and Sikumi Tree Lodges near Hwange National Park. We also visited Victoria Falls. The whole trip was amazing. We saw so much wildlife from an 80 strong herd of elephants right down to snakes and small crocodiles. Sikumi tree Lodges was an exciting place offering night drives, walking safari and day safaris. Zimbabwe touched me and I will never forget the beauty and the early morning sunrises across the plains. Incredible!
