Victoria Falls — from the Zimbabwean side you stand at the very edge of the Batoka Gorge, the full force of the Zambezi dropping directly below you. Nothing prepares you for that edge.
Hwange holds elephant herds among the largest on the continent. Mana Pools is where you canoe alongside elephant at dawn in an unfenced wilderness. The Matobo Hills carry Bushmen rock art on ancient cave walls and a silence that settles into you. In the south, the Malilangwe Wildlife Reserve is one of Zimbabwe's most pristine and carefully protected private conservancies — exceptional wildlife in a landscape few visitors ever reach.And then there is Great Zimbabwe — an ancient stone city built without mortar by the ancestors of the Shona, its walls still standing, the country named after it.

what we love
Victoria Falls
The roar before the sight, the spray soaking you within seconds, the scale of the Zambezi dropping into the gorge.
Mana Pools at dawn
Canoeing alongside elephant, the guide paddling quietly, nothing breaking the stillness.
The Matobo Hills on foot
Ancient granite, Bushmen paintings in the overhangs, a guide who speaks of this place as home.
Hwange at dusk
The elephants arriving at the waterholes, the plain going quiet around them.
