Tailor-Made Itineraries
Expert Safari Planning
Zimbabwe and Zambia offer some of the most diverse and breathtaking safari experiences in Southern Africa. From the majestic Victoria Falls to the sprawling plains of Hwange and South Luangwa National Parks, these destinations promise adventure, wildlife, and scenic beauty.
Zimbabwe and Zambia are renowned for their rich biodiversity and stunning landscapes. Zimbabwe's Hwange National Park is home to one of the largest elephant populations in Africa, while Zambia's South Luangwa National Park is famous for walking safaris and abundant wildlife.
| Destination | Highlights |
|---|---|
| Victoria Falls | Waterfalls, adventure activities, cultural experiences |
| Hwange National Park | Elephants, diverse wildlife, birding |
| South Luangwa National Park | Walking safaris, wildlife, river views |
The best time to explore these regions is during the dry season, which runs from May to October. During this period, animals congregate around water sources, making wildlife viewing more predictable. The lush green landscapes post-rains from November to April offer a different kind of beauty, especially for bird enthusiasts.
Tip: Consider visiting during the shoulder months of April and November for a balance between lush landscapes and wildlife visibility.
Both countries offer a plethora of activities ranging from game drives, walking safaris, and cultural tours. Victoria Falls is a hub for adventure activities such as white-water rafting and bungee jumping. Hwange and South Luangwa provide exceptional opportunities for game viewing and photography.
