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.

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

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.

DUCKS ON THE SAFARI POND

There is a particular magic to a great safari. Guests often describe it as smooth, relaxed, beautifully paced and full of those pinch yourself moments where everything seems to line up perfectly. You arrive at your tent and your luggage is already waiting.

LET'S HEAR IT FOR THE GUIDES!

November 24, 2025
Out in the bush, things happen quickly. A rustle in the grass, a faint sound in the distance, a brief flicker of movement that you might miss if you blink. Your guide is the one who notices it first. Your wilderness hero. Your safari sherpa. Your resident wizard of the wild.

THE UNOFFICIAL SOUNDTRACK OF A PROPER SAFARI

October 22, 2025
There’s a moment in the pre-dawn hush of the African wild when the world holds its breath. The stars are still out, the campfire’s nothing but embers, and your tent is just beginning to feel like a place of rest. And then it happens. A guttural, gurgling, hiccup-snort-roar erupts metres from your head.

THE SAFARI YOU DIDN'T KNOW YOU NEEDED!

October 22, 2025
Forget everything you think you know about a safari. Simba is not going to turn and wink at you from a ridge as the sun rises over the savannah. No elephant is going to pause politely for your selfie. And hyenas do not sound like Whoopi Goldberg. Africa is not a Disney movie, and thank heavens for that.

ANY COLOUR AS LONG AS IT'S KHAKI...

September 11, 2025
You’ve booked the safari. The excitement is building. You’ve got your itinerary sorted. But wait - what are you going to wear? Yes, safari fashion is a thing, and it’s more than just throwing on khakis and calling it a day. If you want to feel comfortable, stay stylish, and blend into your surroundings (without standin
