Zimbabwe
Falls and Wild Horizons
Epic Wildlife, Remote Wilderness, and Exceptional Guiding
Zimbabwe is a land of dramatic contrasts and hidden treasures. From the hunderous spectacle of Victoria Falls to the sun-drenched plains of Hwange and the riverbanks of Mana Pools, it offers some of Africa’s most rewarding safaris—often with fewer crowds and an undeniable sense of depth and soul. The country is rich in heritage, with ancient stone ruins, warm hospitality, and a resilient culture that runs deep.
Hwange National Park, the largest in Zimbabwe, is known for its immense elephant herds and thriving predator opulations. Game drives here reveal open savannahs, forest fringes, and well-placed waterholes perfect for quiet observation. In Mana Pools, the safari shifts to something more elemental—walking alongside wildlife or canoeing the Zambezi under the guidance of some of Africa’s finest trackers and storytellers.
Further south, Gonarezhou and the private Malilangwe Reserve promise a wilder, more remote experience—with sandstone cliffs, baobab-studded ridges, and unique species like roan antelope and nyala. These lesser-known areas are ideal for seasoned safari-goers in search of space, seclusion, and the thrill of discovery.
Our team knows Zimbabwe not just from maps, but from the field. With personal insight, trusted local partnerships, and a deep appreciation for the country’s character, we’ll craft a journey that balances comfort and authenticity—whether you dream of silent canoe safaris, hidden cliffside lodges, or private encounters with wildlife in the wild heart of Africa.

Where to Go in Zimbabwe
Malilangwe Wildlife Reserve
This private reserve in southeastern Zimbabwe is home to Singita Pamushana and one of the continent’s best-kept secrets. Teeming with wildlife and framed by baobab-dotted hills, the reserve offers exclusive game viewing, cultural encounters with the local Shangaan community, and a conservation model that protects both people and land.
Hwange National Park
Zimbabwe’s largest and most iconic park, Hwange is known for its vast elephant herds and predator-rich plains. With a mix of open savannah and forest, Hwange is ideal for classic game drives, guided walks, and hide-based wildlife photography. Camps like Somalisa and Little Makalolo offer front-row access to the action.
Mana Pools National Park
A UNESCO World Heritage Site on the banks of the Zambezi River, Mana Pools is a place of extraordinary beauty and intimacy. Safari here is immersive—walks, canoe trips, and close encounters with wildlife are the norm. It’s remote, wild, and spiritual—perfect for seasoned safari travelers craving deep connection.
Victoria Falls & Zambezi Riverfront
One of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, Victoria Falls is a must-see in Zimbabwe. But beyond the dramatic cascade lies a quieter world of luxury lodges along the Zambezi. Matetsi Victoria Falls offers the best of both—access to the Falls with space, privacy, and light game viewing on a private reserve.
