Spend 11 magnificent days exploring legendary sites and experiencing the scenic beauty and prolific wildlife in this extraordinary land known as Zimbabwe, translated as ‘Great Houses of Stone’.

This, as you’ll discover on your visit, is the Shona people’s proud reference to their 1200 AD rebuilding of the ancient ruins in Great Zimbabwe. It’s a gently recurring theme, one you’ll feel in your bones as you follow the route of the Matopo Hills through towering balancing rocks. Whether you’re visiting the rolling green misty plains of Nyanga, or marvelling at the breathtaking scenery at View of the World it won’t matter if you’re an aspirant photographer, wildlife enthusiast, explorer or lover of natural beauty…we believe you’ll be all four by the time we stand in awe at the end of our journey before ‘the smoke that thunders’, world-renowned Victoria Falls. Zimbabwe’s Hwange National Park offers glorious photographic opportunities with prolific game viewing combined with this vast African landscape. Go beyond the key highlights to the other world of local culture and concerns – a secluded, traditional healer’s village, and a trip to the Painted Dog conservation centre for the unique African wild dog. Visiting Zimbabwe is way more than a tour. It’s another world, and you’ll be spellbound.
