Game viewing
With the abundance of wildlife along the Zambezi, and along Victoria Falls, not to mention all the nature reserves in close proximity, the chance of spotting the Big 5 is quite possible. Nature at its best in Zimbabwe is what one is left to discover.
Victoria Falls
This landmark and iconic tourist destination, also known as ‘Mosi-Oa-Tunya’ by the locals (which translated literally means, ‘the smoke that thunders’) is a wonder to behold. Words cannot fully describe the majesty of this body of water; indeed if you do nothing else in Zimbabwe, this is the one destination you will have to visit.
Hwange National Park
This beautiful nature reserve is one of the more popular spots to view wildlife of all species and variations. Take a drive on the game-viewing safari and see the ungulates forage through the abundant vegetation surrounds. A definite must see for all animal and nature lovers.
