Zimbabwe is home to one of the world’s greatest natural wonders—Victoria Falls—but it’s also a land of warm hospitality, untamed beauty, and epic wildlife.

Hwange National Park, with its massive elephant herds and wide, open plains, is one of Africa’s best kept safari secrets, while Mana Pools, with its riverside setting and walking safaris, offers a more adventurous, off-the-beaten-track experience for families with older children. Add in rhino tracking in Matobo Hills, cultural encounters with local communities, and boat safaris on Lake Kariba, and you’ve got a family itinerary packed with variety and soul.

Zimbabwe’s guides are among the best on the continent, charismatic, incredibly knowledgeable, and brilliant with children, bringing the bush to life in ways your children will never forget.
