Highlights & experiences in Zimbabwe
What makes a safari in Zimbabwe so special? We showcase the most beautiful experiences, regions, and types of safari – for all who seek the extraordinary.
Best travel time for a safari in Zimbabwe
The best travel time for a safari in Zimbabwe is between May and October – during the dry season. In these months, wildlife observations are particularly intense: the vegetation is light, animals gather at watering holes, and the climate is pleasantly dry. Whether in Hwange National Park, in Mana Pools, or along the Zambezi – the conditions for safaris are now ideal.
The rainy season from November to April also has its charm: lush green landscapes, fewer visitors, and very special light conditions. Especially in the transitional months, impressive experiences are possible – with surprisingly good sightings and plenty of atmosphere.
Walking safaris in Zimbabwe: On foot through the bush
Zimbabwe is considered one of the best countries in Africa for walking safaris. In national parks like Mana Pools or Gonarezhou, you experience wilderness up close – without a vehicle. Led by excellently trained guides, you follow animal tracks, listen to the sounds of the bush, and encounter nature in a particularly intense way. A walking safari is decelerated, exciting, and unforgettable – perfect for all who want to experience safaris in Zimbabwe authentically.
National parks in Zimbabwe: Hwange, Mana Pools & more
Zimbabwe's national parks are among the most pristine protected areas in southern Africa. Hwange National Park is known for its large elephant herds, lions, and vast savannahs. Mana Pools, a UNESCO World Heritage site, impresses with its wild river landscape and is famous for walking safaris. Gonarezhou in the southeast is considered a hidden gem – remote, wild, and almost deserted.
The Matusadona National Park on Lake Kariba also offers exciting boat and game drives, while the Zambezi National Park near Victoria Falls is perfect for short safari newcomers.
Safari on the water: Boat, canoe & fishing on the Zambezi
Safari in Zimbabwe also means safari on the water – and in many different ways. On boat safaris, you glide silently through the river landscapes of the Zambezi, passing hippos, elephants, and crocodiles. Even more intense: a guided canoe safari in Mana Pools, where you travel close to the water. Those who prefer tranquility can relax while fishing on the Zambezi or Lake Kariba – with a view of untouched nature. Water activities are an ideal complement to classic game drives – diverse, decelerated, and unforgettable.
Victoria Falls: Spectacular start or crowning finale
Victoria Falls is one of the largest natural wonders in Africa – and is often the starting or ending point of a safari in Zimbabwe. The Zambezi plunges over 100 meters here, creating a spray wall visible from afar. The best time for a visit is between March and June when the falls are particularly full of water. Activities like helicopter flights, sundowner cruises, or walks along the gorge also make this place an unforgettable experience.
Safari guides in Zimbabwe: Knowledge, proximity, and true passion
Zimbabwe is known for some of the best safari guides in Africa. The training is demanding, and the standards are high – and you can feel that on every game drive or walking safari. Guides in Zimbabwe not only convey facts but also a true connection to nature: with a fine sense, deep knowledge, and impressive calm. Especially on bushwalks or canoe safaris, this makes the crucial difference – for safety, understanding, and atmosphere.
