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.

NO SIGNAL? NO PROBLEM

August 28, 2025
The first time your phone flashes "No Service", you might panic. No bars. No WiFi. No updates. You’re officially off the grid. Untethered. Unplugged. Unreachable. And if that thought makes your palms a bit sweaty - you’re exactly where you need to be. Welcome to safari.

BEYOND THE BIG FIVE

August 28, 2025
Virtually everyone comes to Africa with a dream: the lion in the golden light, the leopard draped over a branch like royalty, the elephant rolling in a dust bath. And don’t get us wrong - we adore these iconic species and the rest of the Big Five. They’ve earned their fame.

SIAN'S BIG NAMIBIAN ADVENTURE

July 16, 2025
Sometimes you just need to get away. Switch off the phone, shut the laptop, and head for the kind of place where silence stretches for miles and the sunsets make you want to cry a little bit. Namibia gave me all that and more.

THE SAFARI HANGOVER

June 23, 2025
It hits you somewhere over Cairo. Maybe Nairobi. Maybe Jo’burg, if you're lucky enough to have delayed the inevitable. Your skin still smells like dust and firewood. There's dried mud on your boots, and a reddish stain on the back of your jeans you’ll never be able to explain to your dry cleaner.

FOLLOWING THE FLOOD

June 23, 2025
There’s a moment in June, maybe early July, when the sand shifts underfoot in northern Botswana and the air smells faintly of something coming. Not rain. Not storm. But water, nonetheless. A long, slow surge winding its way down from Angola - not in a roar, but in a whisper. The Okavango flood has arrived.

SHOOT FOR THE STARS!

May 29, 2025
There’s something deliciously humbling about pointing your lens at a lion mid-yawn or catching that exact moment a lilac-breasted roller lifts into flight. Africa doesn’t just do drama - it delivers it in natural light, with minimal direction, and zero retakes. So whether you’re toting a lens the size of a missile or just relying on your ever-loyal phone camera, here’s how to choose the right destination for your dream photographic safari - and what kit (or lack thereof) will get the job done.

THE BEST TIME TO GO ON SAFARI?

April 29, 2025
It's the question that haunts our inboxes and confuses algorithms across the safari. Ask the internet what the best time to go on safari is and it will throw you charts, graphs, temperature ranges, and generalisations so sweeping they could double as weather patterns themselves. But here’s the truth no one wants to say out loud: there is no perfect time. Because safari isn’t a show with scheduled intervals - it’s a living, shifting, gloriously unscripted performance, and every month offers something extraordinary (and something it stubbornly withholds)...

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR SAFARI POISON

April 29, 2025
So, you've made the decision to go on safari - congratulations! The adventure of a lifetime is waiting for you but now comes the tough part: choosing the type of safari that suits you best. Safari isn’t a one-size-fits-all affair; there are so many different options out there, from the classic game drives to walking safaris and everything in between. Whether you’re after the thrill of tracking big cats or the peaceful solitude of a tented camp in the middle of nowhere, we’ve got you covered. Let’s break it down, so you can pick the perfect safari for you.

BEYOND THE WILD FRONTIERS...

March 14, 2025
Let’s get one thing straight: Africa isn’t here to play nice. It’s here to leave you slack-jawed, wide-eyed, and wondering why you wasted so much time holidaying in places with pedestrian views. The landscapes of this continent don’t just impress; they ambush you, shake you down for every ounce of awe you possess, and leave you utterly incapable of tolerating anything remotely mundane ever again. If that sounds dramatic, good. You’re starting to get it. Read on...

MAKING LUXURY MATTER

February 28, 2025
Luxury with purpose in the African safari context isn't just a fleeting trend; it’s a profound shift in how we perceive travel itself. Forget your gilded cages and gaudy trinkets. True, high-end safari lodges offer exquisite linens, opulent décor and gourmet cuisine, but the real indulgence lies in the knowledge that your lavish holiday is actively contributing to something far greater than your Instagram feed...
