Walking Holidays in Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe is making a comeback as a major tourism destination and now is the time to rediscover this jewel of South Africa. This blissful country is one of the continent’s leading safari destinations; bursting with natural wonders, thrilling wildlife and a rich history and culture. In fact, it is one of the most welcoming nations with excellent trails to explore, making walking holidays to Zimbabwe an exciting and enjoyable experience for anyone who loves the outdoors.

We visit Victoria Falls, known to locals as the ‘Smoke that Thunders’, where you’ll enjoy a guided tour of this iconic natural wonder, and a sunset cruise on the Zambezi River. Watching thousands of tonnes of water plunge into the Zambezi gorge is a truly spectacular experience, as you admire the largest waterfall in Africa.

Spend a day at Hwange National Park - the biggest reserve on the continent, where you can fully immerse yourself in the safari experience. Prepare to see giraffes, lion and zebra, as well as a huge population of elephants, along with a range of captivating endangered species. A trip to the Matobo Hills is also a fantastic chance for a rhino walk, and to learn about the flora and fauna of Zimbabwe. This area is extraordinary for its intriguing rock formations, where you can see granite domes, spires and balancing rock formations, as well as ancient cave art, too.

Travellers can also visit the Eastern Highlands, which are some of the hiking highlights in Zimbabwe. Visitors will also enjoy spotting the lush vegetation surrounding them, as well as the waterfalls and streams running through the landscape, in this breathtaking paradise.
