Zimbabwe is a landlocked jewel in southern Africa where nature’s splendid wonders are on full display for all to see. Blessed with incredible landscapes and rich biodiversity, this country has quite a few natural marvels that any outdoor enthusiast would include on their itinerary.
Victoria Falls
Known as the ‘Smoke that Thunders’, this magnificent waterfall is one of the seven natural wonders of the world and is an icon of Zimbabwe. Those visiting from nearby hotels in Victoria will hear the gushing waters first, but seeing the sheer power of it from the edge of the falls is a truly memorable experience.
Zambezi National Park
Follow up your visit to the Falls with an adventure at this beautiful park not far from hotels like Anantara Stanley & Livingstone Victoria Falls Hotel. A morning drive through the park along the river will lead to sightings of leopards, lions, elephants and buffalo, but an afternoon of canoeing is equally captivating.
Hwange National Park
As Zimbabwe’s largest national park, Hwange is a must-visit for wildlife lovers. A safari adventure here is a must, as you’ll encounter lions, giraffes, cheetahs and various colourful birds, freely roaming about in the park’s lush environments.
Matobo National Park
Hidden amidst the Matobo Hills, this park features stunning granite rock formations that make it stand out from the rest. While it is a haven for leopards and rhinos, the park is also a place of deep spirituality for the local Ndebele people.
