Zimbabwe in a Week: Victoria Falls & Big-Game Safari
Chase waterfalls, wildlife and wide skies with easy-to-book Zimbabwe trips
Zimbabwe packs standout sights into a 7-10 day trip, blending big wilderness, local stories, and plenty of time outside. Many itineraries start or finish in Victoria Falls, where mist rises from the Zambezi and evening light turns the gorge a warm gold. Depending on the route, you may also add game drives in Hwange National Park or a guided walk in Matobo National Park, which brings a different landscape and pace. This trip length suits travellers who want a clear plan yet still value unhurried moments built into the schedule. Group trips typically balance guided highlights with easy evenings, so your days feel purposeful without becoming relentless. Many Zimbabwe trips are multi-country, often linking South Africa, Zambia, and Botswana, while keeping Zimbabwe’s essential experiences firmly front and centre.

Worldwide Touring9This tour was the best. Sam, our guide, was exceptional. Where we went, where we stayed, the organization was second to none. I have zero complaints. The only down side was the time in Victoria Falls was too short, you need to spend at least one more full day at Vic Falls. This tour is packed with adventure and things to do so if you want markets and shops, this is not your tour. FYI, not a negative but On this tour, Victoria Falls is the only market. Botswana, you can get souvenirs at the accommodation but selection is limited.
