Zimbabwe is one of Southern Africa’s most rewarding safari destinations. Best known for the world-famous Victoria Falls, the country also offers vast national parks, incredible wildlife, and rich cultural heritage. Whether you’re looking for luxury safaris in Hwange, a walking safari in Mana Pools, or a cultural journey to the ancient Great Zimbabwe Ruins, this is a country where adventure meets authenticity.
With borders touching Zambia, Botswana, Mozambique, and South Africa, Zimbabwe is perfectly placed for multi-country safari itineraries. Many travelers combine Victoria Falls with Botswana’s Chobe National Park, Zambia’s Lower Zambezi, or South Africa’s Kruger National Park.
Dry Season (May – October): Peak safari season. Wildlife is easier to spot around waterholes in Hwange and Mana Pools. Pleasant daytime temperatures and clear skies make it ideal for game drives, walking safaris, and outdoor activities.
Wet Season (November – April): The landscape turns green and vibrant. This is the best time for birding and photography, with fewer crowds. Victoria Falls is at its fullest between February and May, offering the most dramatic views.
👉 Tip: For a balance of safari and Falls, July to September is often considered the best overall time to visit Zimbabwe.
Victoria Falls International Airport (VFA): Direct connections to Johannesburg, Cape Town, Nairobi, Addis Ababa, and regional hubs. Ideal for visitors heading straight to the Falls or Hwange.
Harare International Airport (HRE): Zimbabwe’s main international gateway, linking to key African and international destinations.
Bulawayo Airport (BUQ): Serves the south of the country, convenient for trips to Matobo Hills and Great Zimbabwe.
Zimbabwe’s airports make it easy to combine your safari with neighboring Botswana, Zambia, or South Africa, allowing seamless regional travel.
