Zimbabwe Travel Guide, Zimbabwe Safaris

Zimbabwe is situated in southern, central Africa between the Limpopo and Zambezi rivers. It is tropical country, but it is stretched over a plateau averaging 900m (2,953ft) above sea level, therefore its dry winter months supply a climate as pleasant as the people you will encounter.

Despite the fact that Zimbabwe seems British in many ways, the newly independent country has developed its own distinctive character. It is an earthly paradise where the convenience of modern technology is combined with the vibrancy and warmth of the African experience. Lively markets, overcrowded, dilapidated buses and friendly, colourful people are around every corner in the bustling towns, and almost everyone will be able to speak some English ? but it is not like Zimbabweans to let a little thing like a language barrier prevent communication and hospitality.

Zimbabwe is an ancient and mysterious land whose rock shelters bear traces of a nomadic civilisation dating back to 3000BCE. It is also home to the ruins of Great Zimbabwe, one of the most impressive remnants of a powerful African civilisation, built in the early part of the 13th century.

Most visitors are overwhelmed by the unspoilt wilderness which dominates the country’s landscape and the game parks, which do more than meet expectations of experiencing the beauty of wildlife silhouetted against an African sunset. Undoubtedly, Zimbabwe’s biggest attraction, which even the most spectacular photographs can never capture, is the exhilaration of standing under the thunderous spray of the majestic Victoria Falls. The unit of currency is the Zimbabwe Dollar.
