Mana Pools, also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, lies in the Lower Zambezi Valley of Zimbabwe, part of a vast unfenced wilderness where wildlife runs free. To the north flows the mighty Zambezi, and to the south an escarpment rises from the valley floor. This area is renowned for its beautiful scenery, diverse wildlife, walking safaris, fishing, and canoeing.

Hwange is the largest and most famous national park in Zimbabwe. It is one of the best locations for game drives to view wildlife, including elephant, leopard, lion, giraffe, cheetah, and buffalo. Hwange is in close proximity to Victoria Falls, making these two areas a great pairing.

The vast Malilangwe Wildlife Reserve is located in Zimbabwe’s remote southeast, near the border with Mozambique. Virtually untouched by humankind, it’s home to a rich abundance of wildlife and biodiversity in all forms – from elephants and rhinos to seemingly endless acacia and baobab forests, and over 500 bird species. Here, you can traverse the water and experience this unique landscape from a different perspective. At once alive and ancient, there are hundreds of rock art sites dotted throughout the reserve, which you can visit, along with the communities that call the region home, for a holistic experience of Zimbabwe’s rich cultural and natural heritage.
