Zimbabwe has of course suffered during the troubles of the last 10 years or so. The infrastructure is not what is was in the 1990's due to neglect/lack of money for maintainance. The more remote parks, like Mana, remain beautiful and largely unaffected and are well worth visiting.

I loved my safari experience in Zimbabwe. I visited Zim on a missions trip and at the end of our 3 week stay we went to a safari camp. Not only was it beautiful but the weather was perfect, cool at night, sunny and dry during the day. The food was incredible. A little something for everyone. I highly recommend visiting this wonderful country!

Zimbabwe offers such a broad spectrum of wildlife, birding and scenery and the fact that it is still not over-run with tourists means that you will be one of the few enjoying these pleasures!

Southern African Safaris

3 / 5 3 /5

We didn't have a safari in Zimbabwe. We were there to see Victoria Falls and stayed at the Victoria Falls Hotel. There was sight seeing on the Zambezi where we saw many animals. Our safaris were in South Africa at Kirkman's Kamp in the Sabe Sands area and in Botswana in the Okavanga Delta at Eagle Island Camp and Kwai River Camp. Our daughter's family took a safari in November of 2010 in South Africa's Sabe Sands at Elephant Plain Camp and were thrilled with everything . We all saw all the big 5 animals and many more.If my husband were well we'd doing it again.

Zimbabwe is probably southern Africa's most diverse country, in terms of its landscapes and national parks. Incredible Highlands exist along the eastern border. There are vast wilderness areas in the north and west, including Hwange, Lake Kariba and the Zambezi river valley. In the south east, the country's lowest point, there is Gonarezhou National Park, which is bordered by vast wildlife conservancies. Victoria Falls is the crowning jewel in the far north west. All these areas are home to vast populations of wildlife. The best parks to go on Safari and have a chance to see some, or even all of the big five, include Hwange, Mana Pools and Gonarezhou. All these parks are well maintained and have vast road networks, as well as a multitude of accommodation venues, ranging from comfortable self catering options to 5 star lodges. Zimbabwe is renowned for its professional guides, who have to go through a rigid training period that lasts no less than four years and involves hands
Read more on practical application. This makes Zimbabwe an amazing place to go on a walking safari. Overall Zimbabwe has so much to offer the safari entusiast!

Mana has no dearth of wildlife, and it ticks all the boxes as a great safari destination

For plus I can write that park is almost empty. You can trade the price because there is not so many people. But if you would like to see many different animals you can be disappointed. In Zimbabwe every park has something different, so you have to choosen what is interesting for you.

I first went to Zim on the year 2011 the experience was of out of this world,friendly accommodative warm people..There is no such thing as poverty in Zim like they show on TV.i visited almost every corner where many tourists don't get to go and mixed with the locals. A place called Mbare(a flea market of its out style) ,the Chinoyi caves(natural caves beautiful)Lake kariba,flea market at Borrowdale one of the most expensive well maintained beautiful structural houses in Zimbabwe. I did not do the obvious "Lake kariba" the eastern region of Zimbabwe where you have mysterious mountains. I went to Zimbabwe from that year every year three times a year. The local food I couldn't stop eating. I have visited Harare in and out(from the city to the villages)went a braai in Bulawayo. Experience Zimbabwe as it is a great country with a rich culture and visit where not may goes.

To be quite honest you can never talk about Zimbabwe and not see my eyes popping. Its
Read more a country I will visit as many times. I suggests tourists start going into the depth of the country not only what is shown when you google.
