If you were planning that once-in-a-lifetime safari holiday to southern Africa, chances are Zimbabwe would have topped your list. Zimbabwe’s parks and reserves had all the right credentials: the best guides in Africa, a wide diversity of game, vast tracks of untamed wilderness, and phenomenal activities – from classic walking and river safaris to tiger fishing. As safari-goers turned their attention elsewhere, many of Zim’s camps and lodges were forced to close down … but there are those who stayed.

Zimbabwe is a country in Southern Africa. It is landlocked and is surrounded by South Africa to the south, Botswana to the southwest, Zambia to the northwest, and Mozambique to the east and north. The Zambezi river forms the natural boundary with Zambia and when in full flood the massive Victoria Falls on the river forms the world’s largest curtain of falling water. The Victoria Falls are a major tourist attraction. Once known as the Breadbasket of Africa, since 2000 Zimbabwe has undergone an economic collapse and the rule of law has gradually but largely broken down under the rule of President Robert Mugabe. Stone cities were built in many locations in present-day Zimbabwe. The most impressive structures and the best known of these, Great Zimbabwe, were built in the 15th century, but people had been living on the site from about 400 AD.

Take a look at our ‘travel guides Africa‘ for a few of our favourite Zimbabwe Accomodation Guide either close to the action within ambling distance of the Falls, or further upstream in the smaller, more personal lodges (we’ve even included a couple on private islands).
