Adventures and Safaris in Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe – A Land of Timeless Beauty and Majestic Landscapes

Zimbabwe is located in southern Africa, bordered by Zambia, Mozambique, South Africa, and Botswana. English is widely used alongside Shona and Ndebele, reflecting the country’s rich cultural heritage. The capital, Harare, offers a calm and contemporary city atmosphere, serving as a natural starting point for journeys into Zimbabwe’s diverse landscapes.

At the heart of Zimbabwe, you find Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, where the Zambezi River crashes into a deep gorge in a constant curtain of mist. Beyond the falls, the country reveals a different rhythm, with some of the most rewarding safaris in Zimbabwe found in its national parks. Hwange National Park is known for its vast elephant herds, while Mana Pools National Park offers a more remote, walking-focused safari experience along the river.

Zimbabwe’s landscapes stretch further still, from the ancient stone ruins of Great Zimbabwe to the balancing granite formations of Matobo Hills. Together, they shape a destination that blends wildlife, history, and striking natural scenery into one seamless experience.

Safaris in Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe is one of southern Africa’s most rewarding safari destinations, combining dramatic natural landmarks with rich wildlife experiences. At the heart of it all is Victoria Falls, where the Zambezi River plunges into a deep gorge, creating one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. The surrounding rainforest, viewpoints, and riverfront make it a destination in itself, offering both adventure and slower moments to take it all in.

Beyond the falls, Zimbabwe is known for its diverse safari landscapes. Our safaris in Zimbabwe offers a variety of adventures from river-based experiences along the Zambezi to game-rich national parks where elephants, lions, and other iconic species roam freely, the country offers a more uncrowded and authentic feel compared to many other safari destinations. Walking safaris, sunset cruises, and traditional game drives all form part of the experience, giving you different ways to connect with the land and its wildlife.

Top service. I picked this agency because they do smaller group, Max 4. I end up doing the tour by myself. Lucky me,i loved it ❤️. Gabriel from the beginning is been very responsive, he answered all my emails promptly. Everything was extremely smooth, the pick up at the airport to the Hotel, the briefing the day after before starting the hike. Dastan was my guide, i couldn't be luckier to have him for such a great hike.,he was very professional and strong leader, we made to the top one day earlier 🙏. The meal i had during the hike was delicious and cooked to perfection from Joseph, great chef. Hibra was the guy who to care of my everyday needs. What a team 👏. I can't recommend enough this guys for the experience of a life time. I will be back for sure and book other tours with them. Thanks again for the hard work you guys put into it to make my life ad experience much easier. Hakuna Matata

  An Unforgettable Safari Experience with World Adventure Tours
Before deciding to book my trip with World Adventure Tours, I read so many positive reviews, and that was one of the main reasons I chose them. And honestly, I don’t regret it for a second! From the very beginning, from the booking process, my travel advisor Gabriel was always there to answer all my questions. He was very quick to respond, clear, and extremely helpful. The organization and communication with him were perfect, even throughout my safari. During the safari, I also had an excellent guide, Simon, who truly made this experience unforgettable. He explained everything we needed to know about the animals and the ecosystem, was always attentive to our requests, and treated everyone in the group with kindness and warmth. Thanks to the whole team, I had an amazing experience in Tanzania that I will never forget. I would absolutely recommend World Adventure Tours and would not hesitate for a second to travel with them again!

  Great safari, a few details weren’t advertised correctly
Wir haben die „ Extended Big Five Safari in Tanzania – Waterfalls & Hot Springs, 9 Days“ mit World Adventure Tours gebucht und waren vor der Reise in Kontakt mit einem Büro in Kenia. Sally von dort hat alle Fragen schnell und hilfreich beantwortet. Vor Ort wurde unsere Reise aber vollständig von ZARA Tours durchgeführt… Die fünf Tage Safari mit Hamza von ZARA Tours waren super. Alles super organisiert und gute Hotels mit schönen Zimmern (Highview Hotel und Serengeti Safari Lodge). Im Anschluss hatten wir noch drei Tage im eher mittelmäßigen Springlands Hotel in Moshi, wovon aus die Wasserfall-Kaffee-Tour und die Hot Springs als unabhängige Tagesausflüge mit anderen Guides und Fahrern durchgeführt wurden. Leider waren ein paar Dinge anders als vorab von World Adventure Tours beschrieben: • Trinkwasser war nicht wie beschrieben während der ganzen Tour inkludiert, sondern nur im Safari-Auto. Auf den anschließenden Tagesausflügen und in den Hotels war Wasser mit teilweise bis zu $ 4/1,5 l sehr teuer. • Leider waren nicht alle Hotels standardmäßig mit Moskito-Netzen ausgestattet. Bei einem mussten wir in der ersten Nacht in eine deutlich schlechtere Zimmerkategorie wechseln, um ein Moskito-Netz über dem Bett zu haben. • Die Chemka Hot Springs sind mit 27-28 Grad nur lauwarm und vor allem wurde in der Beschreibung verschwiegen, dass dort Fische im Wasser sind, die an den Füßen der Badenden knabbern. Das fanden wir super unangenehm, daher hätten wir uns diesen Tag komplett sparen können.

  Fantastic Company & Safari Guide
My experience with World Adventure Tours from inquiring to completing the safari has been exceptional. Gabriel was my booking agent and was regularly in contact and offered support before and during the safari. Our Safari with our guide Simon was fantastic. He is extremely professional and makes guests feel comfortable and safe. He is a great communicator, explaining the plans for the day and regularly asking us what we want to see and do to incorporate into his schedule. Simon is extremely knowledgeable about the animals and Tanzania history and culture and was able to answer all questions and share so much with us. He was lots of fun and had jokes with us. I can also say he is a very safe driver. He is one of the best guides I have had in any of my safaris and I can’t praise him enough. I would definitely book another tour through World Adventure Tours and highly recommend them.

  Trip of a Lifetime
Booked a Kilimanjaro summit hike and 2 day safari through World Adventure Tours and they were excellent from start to finish. Communication was faultless throughout, dealing with any issues immediately (was supposed to fly out day air traffic control went down across UK and ended up flying out day after - all hotels changed immediately to update the trip). Airport transfer efficient. Our mountain guide Sylvester was professional and made sure we made it up the mountain safely and successfully. Assistant guide and porters also did an amazing job, making sure we were well fed and supported throughout. Without Sylvester amd his team we wpuld not have made it to the summit. Our end safari was also well organised, taking in Tarangire National Park and Lake Manyara National Park before being returned to the airport to fly home. Would highly recommend.

  Excellent company!
World Adventure Tours were an amazing company to deal with. The communication and information provided in the build up to the trip was excellent. They were very accommodating to all requests and changes to be made. I was particularly impressed with how responsive they were to queries with quick turn around times for information. We had issues with delays for ongoing flights and they were very receptive and helpful to sort out our problems where I suspect others wouldn't have been! The experience itself goes without saying, absolutely incredible and would highly recommend to anyone to not only book themselves a trip but through World Adventure Tours for a smooth and reassuring process.

  Kilimandscharo gemeistert
Wir sind mit unserem Guide Dastan die Lemosho-Route gelaufen und es war einfach fantastisch. Dastan ist wirklich ein sehr guter Guide und hat uns sicher auf und wieder runter vom Berg gebracht. Auch der Rest des Gesms hat sich um alle Bedürfnisse bestens gekümmert.
