DISCOVER ZIMBABWE

 

Zimbabwe is more accessible than ever,  in spite of the fall-out from the global pandemic.

 

As with all countries you will need to present a negative COVID-19 PCR test certificate within 48 hours of departure for Zimbabwe and we are able to suggest testing sites in Zimbabwe should you require them for your return leg home. Wide-open spaces and remote locations allow for easy social distancing too.

 

Visas will be issued on arrival at Victoria Falls Airport, but if you prefer to skip any queues, you will be able to obtain a visa prior to arrival.

Like Zambia and Botswana, Zimbabwe is an incredibly diverse destination not only offering a variety of destinations and experiences, but a host of activities to suit everyone's interests.

A great itinerary is the Zafaris Ultimate Zimbabwe Fly in which covers 5 very different areas, all equally as unique as the other.

Whether you are wanting to enjoy some downtime in some of the most beautiful locations in Africa, or feel the need to be as active as possible after all the time spent indoors, Zimbabwe is going to be the perfect destination for you.

Thinking of travelling to Zimbabwe and not sure where to start? Pop us an email and let's start planning, the options are endless.

WILL THE REAL BOTSWANA PLEASE STAND UP?

June 17, 2026
It sits in the middle of southern Africa on top of one of the largest continuous sand systems on earth, landlocked, with rainfall that arrives when it feels like it and a landscape that the uninitiated might generously describe as flat. On paper it has no business being one of the most sought-after.

DISCOVER YOUR BIRD BRAIN

June 17, 2026
Birding has a PR problem of truly spectacular proportions. Somewhere along the line it acquired an image so thoroughly, so committedly unsexy that entire generations of otherwise adventurous, curious, intelligent people have been actively avoiding one of the most extraordinary wildlife experiences on the planet.

SHOOT LIKE YOU MEAN IT

May 25, 2026
Africa is ready for its close-up, whether you're the particular kind of photographer who turns up on safari with a bag full of glass, a monopod, a carefully researched list of target species and an expression of focused intent that suggests they mean serious business or an average Joe.

MEET AFRICA'S FUGLIES

April 28, 2026
Let's be honest about something... The safari industry has a type. Think golden light, a lion on a kopje, a leopard draped over a branch like living sculpture, an elephant silhouetted against a burnt orange sky. All of it magnificent, all of it entirely real.

SCREW IT, LET'S DO IT!

Girls just want to have... Africa, it turns out. Because that's where it's all happening, on safari in the middle of nowhere, dressed in varying shades of khaki, surrounded by some of the most awe-inspiring landscapes on the planet and animals red in tooth and claw.

WHAT NOBODY TELLS YOU BEFORE YOUR FIRST SAFARI

March 24, 2026
There's a particular type of travel content that exists in the safari world. It features luminous sunsets, impeccably dressed couples clutching sundowners, and lions doing photogenic things at the exact right moment. It is, in a word, lying. Not maliciously. Just selectively.

AFRICA'S GREATEST WONDER... IT'S PEOPLE

February 25, 2026
You've booked the flights. You've packed the binoculars and the khaki (good). You've been dreaming of lions and leopards, sundowners and starlit skies. All of which are, without question, utterly fabulous and non-negotiable on any self-respecting Zafaris safari. But here's the thing.

ALL THE COLOURS OF THE RAINBOW

February 25, 2026
Let’s get something straight from the start. Safari is not beige. It’s not polite, predictable, or neatly wrapped in a bow. It’s messy and exhilarating and occasionally ridiculous. It messes up your hair, ruins your sleep schedule, and somehow resets your entire brain in the best possible way.

WHY BACK TO BASICS IS THE WAY TO GO...

January 28, 2026
Safari has had a glow up. Actually, several over the last few decades. There was a time in the times of yore when a good safari meant a canvas tent, a bucket shower, a crackling fire and a guide who could read the bush like a novel. Then things escalated.

SAFARIS FOR WRINKLIES

December 4, 2025
Let's get one thing straight. Safaris are not only for shiny Gen Zs or upwardly mobile Millennials - or twenty-somethings with suspiciously clean trainers and an Instagram strategy. They are not reserved for families with small children who want to tick off the Big Five before lunch.
