Discover Zimbabwe safaris
Wildlife, national parks and Victoria Falls, with itineraries built for easy travel
Zimbabwe safaris combine memorable wildlife encounters with classic natural landmarks, moving from open savannah and riverfront habitats to rocky hills and wide, shifting skies. Many itineraries center on game drives and guided walks in key conservation areas, while also making space for the cool spray of Victoria Falls and the soft glow of sunset over camp. Because many Africa trips cross borders, some Zimbabwe safaris also include time in Botswana, South Africa, Zambia, and beyond, depending on the route you choose. Plans are confirmed before you travel, which makes it straightforward to understand what is included, what costs extra, and where support is available throughout the trip.

Aaron our tour guide was fantastic, he looked after us everywhere we went and explained exactly what we were doing each day We were disappointed with Victoria falls. We were under prepared for the conditions. Even though we had weather proof clothes we were all drenched and cold. We needed proper full length raincoats and umbrellas. It would help if this was clear on the information provided before the trip

More space needed for feedback Knowledge at booking that would be joining existing trip not when final notes came through 3 weeks before departure. Good for people commencing tour in Windhoek to have opportunity to meet prior to the day transported to join tour - all staying at same hotel so easy to arrange. Swamp camp poorest

Victoria Falls to Table Mountain - 20 daysSMALL GROUP LODGE SAFARI: Travel from Zimbabwe's spectacular Victoria Falls to Cape Town - South Africa's captivating Mother City, taking in the best of Botswana and Namibia en route. Traverse the Kalahari and Namib deserts and game drive through Chobe, Etosha and Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. Marvel at the magnificent Sossusvlei dunes, ride a mokoro in the Okavango Delta and more on this 20-day overland adventure with comfortable lodge accommodation. Worldwide Touring20Going to the gaming reserves in Botswana and Namibia and seeing the animals in the wild was spectacular. The accommodation was also very good. One of the optional extras in Namibia was going in the 4x4 wheel drive across the sand dunes and driving along the ocean which was a wonderful experience It was something beyond the tour operator's control but the roads at times were very rough and bumpy and made me feel a bit queezy.

Worldwide Touring20The helicopter in Victoria Falls, the balloon in Swakopmund, Namibia. This whole city and this whole country. Hiking the "Big Daddy" in Namibia. The accommodation in general exceeded my expectations. Too many hours inside the truck without air conditioning and with no two-way radio for communicating with the guide/driver. He knows many data around the itinerary but he lacked sharing his culture, being more human, and explaining about the actual status of racism in SouthAfrica, for instance.

Worldwide Touring20The Ugab Terrace Lodge was wonderful, it would have been nice to have two nights here. I think this tour could be adjusted itinerary wise, some of the days are just too long to be sitting in a truck with no air con. Perhaps finishing in Cape Town but with a two night stop at Highlanders Lodge instead of one night at Kakamas.

The variety of ways to see them was also lovely. Also being able to see the culture was interesting. Gave a whole picture of Africa It would have been nice to have a bit of a reset half dat with no optional activities somewhere in the middle to be able to refresh for the next half of the tour. A bit more advise before travel about tipping and how much and who as in my country we don’t tip so was a very foreign and unknown for me

What you'll see in Zimbabwe
Iconic parks, famous falls and standout Zimbabwe sights
Many Zimbabwe safaris begin or finish around Victoria Falls, giving you time to take in the vast curtain of water, feel the mist, and explore viewpoints at your own pace. Wildlife is usually the central focus, and game drives in Hwange National Park are a major highlight, with strong elephant sightings and the kind of open landscapes that define a classic safari. Matobo National Park then changes the backdrop, with bold rock formations, big views, and guided walks that may include rhino tracking depending on conditions and permits. Bulawayo can feature as a stop on some overland routes, and selected trips also include Masvingo and the Great Zimbabwe Ruins for a deeper sense of the country’s history. Across the journey, expect dusty tracks, wide horizons, and quieter evenings at camp or lodge, when the bush settles into its night-time soundtrack.

Why visit Zimbabwe
Big wildlife, bold landscapes and the drama of Victoria Falls
Zimbabwe is a strong safari choice because its headline experiences are distinctive, varied, and often easy to combine within one trip. In Hwange National Park, game drives can deliver close, unhurried views of elephants alongside other wildlife, especially around waterholes in the dry season. Matobo National Park shifts the tone completely, offering dramatic granite landscapes and guided walks where rhino tracking may be part of the experience. Victoria Falls adds a different kind of excitement, and time in town allows you to visit the falls while choosing from optional activities when you want to dial the pace up or down. For a broader journey, Zimbabwe connects smoothly with longer overland itineraries, making it straightforward to pair classic park time with a world-famous landmark. On a fully guided tour, the team manages logistics and timing, so you can focus on sightings, scenery, and the shared energy that comes with each new moment in the bush.
