Zimbabwe, in southern Africa, is defined by roaring waterfalls, granite kopjes, and ancient stone cities. Hospitality is warm, wildlife is abundant, and landscapes range from baobab plains to mist-laced ravines.

Nature takes center stage. Victoria Falls—the “Smoke that Thunders”—sends rainbows over basalt gorges. Hwange National Park hosts massive elephant herds; Mana Pools frames canoe safaris along the Zambezi. Eastern Highlands rise in cool forests and waterfalls; Lake Kariba mirrors fiery sunsets.

Attractions weave history and safari. Great Zimbabwe preserves monumental dry-stone architecture from a medieval trading empire. Bulawayo’s museums, Matobo Hills’ rock art, and granite domes add archaeological depth. Game drives, walking safaris, and village visits bring intimate encounters with people and wildlife.

Culture is resilient and rhythmic. Mbira music, storytelling, and crafts—stone sculpture, basketry, textiles—flourish in studios and markets. Cuisine features sadza with stews, biltong, and fresh lake fish. Conservation lodges and community projects champion responsible travel that sustains habitats and livelihoods.

Zimbabwe offers epic Africa distilled—thunderous falls, golden savannahs, and ancient stones glowing at dusk.
