World Heritage Sites
Zimbabwe is home to 4 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, namely Mana Pools National Park, Matobos National Park, the Great Zimbabwe Ruins, and Victoria Falls which is also one of the 7 Natural Wonders of the World. Victoria Falls is the largest curtain of falling water on earth, and is affectionately known by the locals as Mosi-oa-Tunya (The Smoke that Thunders) after the shimmering mist clouds that hover mysteriously over the roaring falls. You can walk all the way to the edge for a spectacular view or venture into the Zambian side to brave a swim in Devils Pool, a natural rock pool on the very edge of the waterfall which is only open during the dry season (mid-August to mid-January).
Adventure
Adventure tourists will be in their element in Zimbabwe. Victoria Falls is often referred to as the Adventure Capital of the World and has plenty to offer the thrill seeker and family adventurer. You can look forward to exciting activities such as walking with lions, gorge swinging, ziplining, horse riding, white water rafting, bungee jumping, micro-lighting, helicopter flights, elephant back rides, and bridge walks.
The landscape
Zimbabwe is a sparse and beautiful landscape of undulating plateaus and mountains scattered with iconic umbrella thorn trees, baobabs, euphorbias, and thorny acacia bushveld. Youll enjoy some of the most spectacular African sunrises and sunsets in Zimbabwe that will be imprinted in your memory for years to come.
