Best of Zimbabwe  

  Duration6 Days

Drawing inspiration from the legendary stone edifices of the Great Zimbabwe ruins, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this breathtaking region is primarily acclaimed for the magnificent Victoria Falls and we enter the Kavango Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area (KAZA), which is a remarkable cross-border conservation initiative, merging the territories of five African nations. An untouched and thrilling safari is on offer, promising an array of wildlife in the pristine wilderness of Hwange and Matobo National Parks. Come. Journey with us on our 6-day Zimbabwean Odyssey. Setting out from the rumbling majesty and untamed allure of Victoria Falls, we voyage southwards to Zimbabwe’s most expansive wildlife refuge, Hwange National Park. This sanctuary serves as the residence for Africa’s most substantial elephant populations. Relish the game drive experience in our open 4×4 safari vehicles, offering unrivaled immersion into the park’s vibrant wildlife. Our next stop is the enchanting Matopos National Park, nestled in the southwestern corner of Zimbabwe. The park, also known as Matobo National Park, greets us with a sea of large granite outcrops known as the Matobo Hills. We’ll take our time meandering around the park, basking in the grandeur of the seemingly defying gravity granite boulders and engage in an afternoon game drive. Next, we chart a course to the ancient ruins of the Royal Palace of Great Zimbabwe. The sheer five-meter-high stone walls, assembled without mortar, represent Sub-Saharan Africa’s most expansive and significant stone ruins – an extraordinary archaeological treasure. Here, we discover the famed soapstone-carved birds, the symbols that proudly adorn Zimbabwe’s national flag. A guided walk through these historical remains grants us insight into a bygone era. Take a moment to appreciate the intricate stone craftsmanship and delve into the heritage of this testament to early Zimbabwean civilization. As we cross the Limpopo River and make our way into South Africa, we pause for some leisure time in the warm embrace of South Africa’s northern most province, perfectly encapsulating this serene experience before we navigate our way to the glittering city of Johannesburg. Here, our African safari odyssey reaches its grand conclusion.
