Guide to Luxury Holidays in Zimbabwe

Home to herds of elephants, lions and giraffes, Zimbabwe is a paradise full of opportunities to both relax and unwind. Take a safari and drive into the wilderness to discover dramatic waterfalls, or relax at a spa and watch the wildlife go by. Whatever you do, luxury holidays in Zimbabwe bring an unforgettable sense of both adventure and relaxation.
From museums and art galleries to medieval stone cities, Zimbabwe will take you on a journey you'll never forget. Visit Victoria Falls, often called the world's largest waterfall, and feel the rush of the Zambezi River as it plunges into a dramatic gorge creating rainbows from sheets of mist. After visiting, you'll easily see why Victoria Falls ranks among the world's seven natural wonders.
Hwange National Park, one of the biggest national parks in Africa, offers you the chance to get close to the exotic wildlife of Zimbabwe. Walk with rhinos, watch lions bathe in the sun and see elephants splashing in rivers. This national park boasts a wide variety of mammals and birds. There are plenty of camping and picnic sites, so take the chance to eat outside whilst the shimmering sunrise brings the park alive with animal calls.
Mana Pools National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its sheer beauty. Old river channels form large ponds that draw even larger numbers of animals and birds. Zebras, impalas, hippos and hyenas are among the many animals which visit the Mana Pools. You can canoe the waters or explore on foot, either way, you'll be in the heart of Zimbabwe experiencing personal encounters with awe-inspiring wildlife.

The country is a year-round destination with daytime temperatures going from 20 degrees Celsius into the early 30s. For game viewing, the best time to visit is from May to October when temperatures are milder. During these months, there is less rain and wildlife can be found gathering around waterholes and lakes.
The different seasons bring a change to the landscape. From November to April, summer tends to bring the birth of new animals, as well as lush, vibrant greenery. Occasional dramatic storms create an atmospheric environment great for photography.

You should carry some identification with you at all times and keep a photocopy of your passport. A tourist visa is required and can be purchased on arrival. You can also apply for a visa online before travelling.

In Zimbabwe, you'll find lots of fresh fruit and vegetables and lean cuts of meat, as well as interesting game meats. Enjoy an a la carte menu serving a wide variety of popular dishes. Dine outdoors and listen to the Victoria Falls echoing in the night. Chefs can cook up light dishes like chicken and mango salads, alongside more filling meals, like ribs cooked in a delicious sauce. You'll get your fair share of desserts in Zimbabwe, too, such as zesty cheesecakes and brownies to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Things to do
Safari Tours

No trip to Zimbabwe is complete without a safari tour. Explore the wilderness on foot, by 4x4 or by canoe. Follow experienced guides as they show you the sights and help you track and spot the colour-rich birds and animals. With lots of different species to spot, you'll want to keep your camera at the ready.

Victoria Falls

There is so much to do around Victoria Falls. Gazing across the enormous waterfall is an experience in itself, but you could add a twist to the adventure and try bungee jumping off Victoria Falls Bridge. Indulge your inner daredevil with a spot of whitewater rafting, or take a helicopter tour to see the waterfall from above.

Fishing

You've scanned the plains of Africa in search of wild game, traced colourful birds into the skies and gazed the stars at night. Now it's time to see below the African waters. Enjoy a spot of fishing and try your luck catching tigerfish, bream and lungfish and attempt to catch the biggest prize.

Great Zimbabwe

The medieval city of Great Zimbabwe was once the capital of the kingdom. The city's Great Zimbabwe National Monument is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the largest ancient stone constructions in Africa. Wander narrow cobbled paths between steep stone walls and discover open vistas with views of Zimbabwe.

Chinhoyi Caves

Stroll around this lavish network of caves centred around an underground, open-air pool known as the Sleeping Pool. The pool is over 80 metres deep, with the shallower areas forming crystal-clear waters. Chinhoyi Caves is also a scuba diving site on par with some of the world's best diving locations.

Insider Review
One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin. He lay on his armour-like back, and if he lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections. The bedding was hardly able to cover it and seemed ready to slide off any moment. His many legs, pitifully thin compared with the size of the rest of him, waved about helplessly as he looked. “What’s happened to me? ” he thought. It wasn’t a dream. His room, a proper human room although a little too small, lay peacefully between its four familiar walls. A collection of textile samples lay spread out on the table – Samsa was a travelling salesman – and above it there hung a picture that he had recently cut out of an illustrated magazine and housed in a nice, gilded frame. It showed a lady fitted out with a fur hat and fur boa who sat upright, raising a heavy fur muff that covered the whole of her lower arm towards the viewer. Gregor then turned to look out the window at the dull weather. Drops of rain could be heard hitting the pane, which made him feel quite sad. “How about if I sleep a little bit longer and forget all this nonsense”, he thought, but that was something he was unable to do because he was used to sleeping on his right, and in his present state couldn’t get into that position. However hard he threw himself onto his right, he always rolled back to where he was. He must have tried it a hundred times, shut his eyes so that he wouldn’t have to look at the floundering legs, and only stopped when he began to feel a mild, dull pain there that he had never felt before. “Oh, God”, he thought, “what a strenuous career it is that I’ve chosen!
