Heaven on Earth

Thoroughly enjoyed our two weeks in Zimbabwe, visited Victoria Falls and Hwange National Park. Started our vacation at the lovely Safari Club, wildlife outside our door, fabulous food and staff, service was exemplary. Flew to Hwange National Park, first stay was at Deteema Springs, this was absolutely the best place ever, the staff were wonderful, the wildlife sightings 5*, we had the most excellent time here. We then stayed at Ingwe Pan Camp, fantastic settings, staff again were wonderful, next stop was Mana River Camp, based on the Zambezi River Embankment, wildlife all around, great staff and service. Visited and stayed at Mana Pools, what a beautiful setting, we went when it was really dry so a little sad for the animals but can only imagine what it is like in the wet season! Everything was booked through Emma at Off2Africa Tours and we could not recommend her and her Company enough, everything was absolutely PERFECT! If you are ever looking for a tour company pick them!

Exciting, beautiful and friendly.

We never felt more alive . Best vacation we ever took. The safari tours out of Hwange Natl Park were amazing and our driver, Bheki, was so informative and fun! We highly recommend this resort area and also the A'Zambezi Lodge we stayed at for our first 3 days and our last day.
Great entertainment, beautiful landscaping and pool. Bar and restaurant and a gift shop, too. all right along the Zambezi River. The wildlife that walked thru were entertaining! Baboons, warthogs, birds with amazing songs, and Vervet monkeys. Helpful staff arranged an extra tour for us during some of our free time. We walked with the white lions! How amazing this was! Visiting Victoria Falls was wonderful too, altho be sure to wear rain gear. we did and even got soaked thru the raincoat, but it was still worthwhile!

Worth it

Victoria Falls is truly a marvelous thing to see. It's is an easy and accessible trail. Be prepared to be soaked but it's worth it.

lovely Valley and touristik place but less animals

I visited Hwange NP. and Victoria Falls in Nov24 which is actually the beginn of the wet season besides the really beautyfull and lovely valleys and Nature landscapes, espacilly the VIC. Falls Rain Forest Park, there were roughly not much animals to see at this time😔😔😔. During our daily Game Drives in the morning and evening hours our ranger had a hard time to find at least some animals hidden in the savanne as they all were moving to other locations where is more water and fresh green areas. So if it comes to the decission question which park is better to visit Hwange or Chobe? I would defently say that Chobe has the richer Animal areas and more nicer green areas because of the Chobe and Zambezi river Delta landscapes and lovely areas around. It's a very popular area for the Animals which are Schilling Next to the river area. VIC Falls is a ideal place as base, to stay a couple of days as it is touristic and has a good infrastructure you can do lot of activites for effordable price levels there👌🏻

I think Hwange National Park excels in wildlife, scenic beauty, bush vibe, and birding because it offers an incredible diversity of wildlife, including the Big Five, amidst breathtakingly beautiful landscapes of dense forests, open savannas, and rocky outcrops. The park's remote location and limited infrastructure create an immersive, wilderness experience with a distinct "bush vibe". Additionally, with over 400 species recorded, Hwange is a birdwatcher's paradise, making it an ideal destination for those seeking an authentic African safari experience.

Amazing wildlife and scenary

We stayed at lower Zambezi first and then moved to south Luangwa. The density of animals was surreal and guides and people where very charming and knowledgeable. Given it was end of dry season, it was quite hot in the afternoons.

One of my favorite trips ever!

My trip was for the 5-day package and liked the entire trip proposal.
Muza was our guide and he was always very kind and polite. He is an expert in what he was offering and guiding us.
We accepted the suggestion to visit the falls before breakfast and it was a valuable tip, as the park was emptier and the temperature was milder.
On the game drive day at Hwange National Park, we were guided by the Talks - also an expert at what he does. I had the chance to see many animals (lions, giraffes, zebras, wild boars, monkeys, antelopes) and learn several interesting facts about wildlife behavior.
I strongly recommend it!

Friendly

Zim was such a great experience. The people and culture are just wonderful and the landscape is so varied from lush greenery to Victoria Falls to a beautiful safari and sunset cruise on the Zambezi. We really look forward to going back soon!

Beyond beautiful.

I am a little bit biased, as I was born there, but it's an amazing place. Friendly people, knowledgeable guides and amazing views of the wildlife. Always hard to leave home and the serene beauty of Zimbabwe.

Go wild in Zimbabwe

What a big place to visit with bumpy roads and wild animals everywhere, great to see and experience especially with hot weather to relax in. The only problem for us was the visa system being asked before we got to the customs desk, we wanted a multi access visa we got a single. So crossing the border twice meant we ended up have to pay twice.
