Zimbabwe is an authentic, rugged destination that we especially recommend to travellers – “first-timer” or returning to Africa for an off-the-beaten track experience, as Zimbabwe remains to be one of the most fascinating destinations in the world and has something to offer to everyone. Zimbabwe boasts of a number of tourism resources – home to the Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe has a diversity of attractions which include UNESCO World Heritage sites such as Great Zimbabwe, Mana Pools, Matopos, Kariba Dam, Eastern Highlands and over 26 game parks and safari areas – a full cast of your favorite mammals, from lions, leopards and hyenas to big herds of elephant and buffalo, elegant antelope, giraffe and zebra. Kariba is a place to be for an out-of-this world experience, whenever you visit Zimbabwe. Although Lake Kariba is the second largest man-made structure in Africa, after the pyramids in Egypt, the Zambezi River is the 4th largest river on the continent, flowing through eight countries – Zambia, Angola, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Tanzania and Mozambique, before reaching the Indian Ocean. At a height of 128m and with a crest length of 617m, the dam has the capacity of holding 181 billion cubic metres of water. Designed as a double curvature concrete arc dam, the Kariba Dam was constructed across the Zambezi River between 1956 and 1959. Commissioned in 1960 and opened by Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, the dam has been central to regional energy security and economic development ever since.Known as “Zimbabwe’s Riviera”, the lake has since become an attractive and popular holiday destination for many people from around the world, relaxing on holiday houseboats, watching wildlife from board. One of the most recurring things on the “Many You Must Do Things” list, is a visit to the majestic Victoria Falls. Being one of the Seven Wonders of the World, Mosi-oa-Tunya is an acclaimed World Natural Heritage Site of incomparable beauty. The Victoria Falls World Heritage Site was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1989 as a trans-boundary Property shared between Zambia and Zimbabwe. The towns of Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, and Livingstone in Zambia, are located on either side of the falls. The Victoria Falls plunging more than a 100 m into a sheer-sided chasm, is the largest and most spectacular waterfall in Africa. The high spray clouds give rise to the local name – Mosi-oa-Tunya, the Smoke that thunders. The Falls, named after the Queen Victoria, were discovered in 1866 by Dr David Livingstone, the explorer and missionary. Adrenalin junkies can bungee jump off the Victoria Falls Bridge, or you have the chance for gorge swinging and zip lining.Luxury, private mobile tented camps and safaris; private guide & game drive vehicle with unlimited bush walks or game drives and no set itineraries.

Experience Zimbabwe – an untamed African Beauty The Park is Zimbabwe’s largest and also the third largest in Africa at 14 600 km², offering excellent safari experiences to rival anywhere in Africa, from luxury lodges and game drives to walking safaris. Named after a local Nhanzwa chief. It is located in the northwest corner of the country about one hour south of the Mighty Victoria Falls. Bulawayo was originally the royal kraal of the legendary Ndebele kings and today the second largest city in Zimbabwe. The Khami Ruins are located on the west bank of the Khami river, about 10 km west of Bulawayo in southern Zimbabwe. The site represents all that remains of the capital of one of southern Africa’s great empires, which was at its peak from 1450-1650. In its day, the population of Khami would have lived in mud-built huts surrounded by a series of granite walls. The Matobo Hills, an area of wind sculptured granite hills alternating with green wooded valleys offers breath taking landscapes and amazing experiences for sightseers. The delicate rock art of the Matobo Hills is a must-see. The ruins of Great Zimbabwe – the capital of the Queen of Sheba, according to an age-old legend – are a unique testimony to the Bantu civilization of the Shona between the 11th and 15th centuries. The city, which covers an area of nearly 80 ha, was an important trading centre and was renowned from the Middle Ages onward, and is by far the largest man-made structures in Africa. It is the largest and most intact of more than 150 examples of walled remains in Zimbabwe and are found approx. 30 km from Masvingo the oldest town of Zimbabwe.

The Matobo Hills
Great Zimbabwe Ruins – Masvingo
Matusadona National Park is situated on the shores of Lake Kariba but was proclaimed a non-hunting area on 7 November 1958 before the dam was built. It became a Game Reserve in 1963, and in 1975, in terms of the Parks & Wildlife Act, it became a National Park. The Park comprises some 1 400 square kilometers of diverse flora and fauna. Before the lake was built, Matusadona was a vast, rugged wilderness with limited access.
The Matobo National Park established in 1926 is the oldest National Park in Zimbabwe, a bequest from Cecil John Rhodes. Matobo National Park forms the core of the Matobo or Matopos Hills, an area of granite kopjes and wooded valleys commencing some 35 kilometres south of Bulawayo.
The Hills cover an area of about 3100 km², of which 424 km² is National Park, the remainder being largely communal land and a small proportion of commercial farmland. The park extends along the Thuli, Mtshelele, Maleme and Mpopoma river valleys.
Part of the national park is set aside as a 100 km² game park, which has been stocked with game including the white rhinoceros. The highest point in the hills is the promontory named Gulati (1549 m) just outside the north-eastern corner of the park. It has one of the highest concentrations of prehistoric rock paintings in Southern Africa, while the hills are still a focus for local community shrines and sacred places. It is the home of the regional oracular cult of the High God, Mwari(Chishona) or Mlimo (siNdebele), whose voice is said to be heard from the rocks. The Matobo Hills feature in many of the important historical events that have shaped the modern nation of Zimbabwe. There are battle sites, graves, ruins and relics that date back thousands of years through to recent events.
