FAQs: Zimbabwe
What should I know about Zimbabwe?
Situated in the heart of the southern tip of Africa, surrounded by Mozambique (to the east), South Africa (to the south), Botswana (to the southwest) and Zambia (to the north), Zimbabwe is a fairly small country, but full of plenty of incredible outdoor opportunities.
While rafting on the Zambezi River en route to seeing Victoria Falls is easily the most popular outdoor activity, hiking and mountaineering in the rugged eastern highlands are also quite popular.
Rising to 2,592 meters in elevation, Mount Nyangani is the highest peak in the country and can be hiked in a couple of days. Various other minor peaks nearby make the national park in which it is located (Nyanga National Park) a popular destination for hikers looking for some great views.
Why should I choose Zimbabwe for my adventure?
Stunning scenery
From the incredible Victoria Falls, to semi-arid savanna and lush semi-tropical forests, Zimbabwe offers a whole lot to see. Heading out on foot to explore either the lowlands (where the forests are) or highlands, is the best way to get out and see the diverse country. Heading out on a rafting trip down river is another great way to go on an adventure and see the country’s incredible sights.
Victoria Falls
Known as Mosi-oa-Tunya or ‘The Smoke That Thunders’ in the native language, Victoria Falls is truly an impressive sight. With a width of 1,7 kilometers and a height of more than 100 meters, seeing the falls is truly an awesome experience. Arriving to them on a raft and hiking the rest of the way is perhaps the best way to experience this natural wonder.
Numerous National Parks
While Victoria Falls is simply stunning, there are plenty of other incredible national parks to explore in Zimbabwe too. In total the country boasts eight. Hwange National Park is the largest and offers visitors the chance to see some of Africa’s most iconic wildlife. Nyanga National Park is another popular one. Situated in the eastern highlands, it is home to the highest mountains in the country and makes for a great hiking destination.
