Zimbabwe Vacation

Zimbabwe is a fantastic place. Only 20 years ago, it was the wealthiest country in Africa. Currently, with the economy struggling, it is an excellent place to visit as resorts and hotels are much cheaper than average, and it is stunning. The Victoria Falls are Zimbabwe's most popular tourist destinations and one of the greatest natural wonders of the world. The Victoria Falls' mile-wide curtain of water plunges deep into the Zambezi Gorge, creating a cloud of mist that can be seen up to 20 miles away. They can be seen on a short trip from Botswana or South Africa, but in doing so, travelers will be missing some fascinating areas. Highlights are the ruins of Great Zimbabwe, the beautiful Lake Kariba, and also the two biggest cities of Zimbabwe are worth a visit: Harare and Bulawayo.

Last but not least, to the east are the Eastern Highlands, excellent walking and fishing country, so cold that at certain times of the year, the grass in the morning can be trimmed with frost. In the west is the other-worldly jumble of granite rocks that make up the Matopos National Park. Zimbabwe's largest wildlife sanctuary is Hwange National Park, situated on the western border with Botswana. Hwange is home to one of Africa's largest elephant populations and myriad other species. Other excellent game viewing areas are Matusadona, Mana Pools, and Zambezi National Parks.​
