Zimbabwe offers excellent self drive opportunities, even with the political situation and all the negative press it has received over the past decade. The upside is that there are not many tourists and prices are very good compared to other destinations in the region. Combine a self drive holiday with time spent on a house boat on Lake Kariba or do a canoe safari on the Lower Zambezi where you experience the beauty of Mana Pools. |

Zimbabwe is a self drive destination for the adventurous traveler seeking wildlife, culture, spectacular natural beauty and friendly people. The southern African country had it fair share of problems over the past decade but it is well and truly back on track and the ideal destination to visit. As far as travel goes it is generally safe and easy to travel around! Zimbabwe has some of the most spectacular scenery in southern Africa and enjoys one of the wonders of the world in the form of the majestic Victoria Falls.
Now is probably one of the best times to visit as tourist numbers are still relatively low. Visit places like Hwange National Park (amazing wildlife encounters), Mana Pools (excellent for walking safaris), Lake Kariba (rent a house boat for a few days), and ofcourse the Victoria Falls (one of the world's most spectacular waterfalls).
The infrastructure is generally good and Zimbabwe has the ideal range of accommodation options for
the self drive traveler planning to explore this beautiful country. |
