Zimbabwe
WHERE THE "SMOKE THUNDERS"
Zimbabwe
Recognized as “the smoke that thunders” by locals, Zimbabwe hosts the renowned spectacle, Victoria Falls.
Zimbabwe is also home to many well recognized national parks including Hwange, Mana Pools, Matobo, Gonarezhou, and Malilangwe Wildlife Reserve. The wildlife for viewing is plenty with crocodiles, hippos, elephant, buffalo, black rhino, rare brown hyena, the largest surviving populations of African wild dog, and over 400 species of bird. Because the Malilangwe Wildlife Reserve is nonprofit, it truly is one of the best places for game viewing of untouched wildlife

The Spectacular Landscapes of Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe is the ideal destination for travelers who want to do more than simply view wildlife from a safari vehicle. Tucked between the mighty Zambezi and the rolling Limpopo River, Zimbabwe is best known for the magnificent spectacle of the Victoria Falls.
Zimbabwe derives its name from the spectacular stone structures of the Great Zimbabwe ruins, a World Heritage Site with a mysterious origin. The country is home to another four World Heritage sites, including the rugged granite outcrops of the Matobo Hills, the spectacular conservation area of Mana Pools and the magnificent Victoria Falls.
The world’s largest man-made reservoir, the vast waters of Lake Kariba are home to the fierce tiger fish, renowned among avid anglers, while herds of wildlife wander its shores.
“There is a place that we dream of and yearn for; a place calling our name in a subtle voice, that draws us in physically and emotionally; Zimbabwe”
