Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe boasts a wide variety of wildlife and cultural attractions, not to mention one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the awe-inspiring Victoria Falls – the biggest curtain of falling water in the world. It is the mighty Victoria Falls that provides the country with its most compelling attraction. Below the Falls the narrow Zambezi gorge offers the most exciting and safest Grade 5 white-water rafting in the world. Bungi-jumpers and other adventurers flock here to pit their skill against the Zambezi’s might, whilst more leisurely travellers soak in the area’s stunning beauty and wildlife.
