Zimbabwe Safaris - An Overview
Zimbabwe has always been a beautiful and top rate safari destination despite the political and economic collapse which has slowly reduced the country to the state it is in today. Zimbabwe is home to many renowned professional safari guides who have gone on to oversee the lifting of guiding standards across Africa and beyond but most particularly in Zambia, Kenya and Tanzania.
Top destinations to include in Zimbabwe are the world heritage sites of Victoria Falls and Mana Pools National Park on the Lower Zambezi River.
