Zimbabwe Travel Guide

Visit the Mukuvusi Woodlands - a beautiful game reserve right near the heart of the city. Wander through the African savannah among fantastic animals - impala, kudu, eland, zebra giraffe to name but a few. Where else in the world can you enjoy such wilderness in a city?

Don't get money out of ATM's in Zim, you'll get the official rate, the black market is millions better.

Great River Rafting

JUST GO SEE IT!! It's one of the seven natural wonders of the world. Totally worth seeing.

We found carrying a crate of coke in the back of the car always helped with the police road blocks. If we started to get hassle, we'd make a comment that the police man look thirsty and then gave him a coke. Worked everytime and speeded up our trip!

Well, it has been about 5 years since I was in Africa, but one of the many highlights of the trip was a place called Antelope Park near Gweru, Zimbabwe. There are a lot of things to do here including elephant treks, canoeing down a river with crocodiles, playing with baby lions and walking with young lions ( up to about 18months old). A really unique experience and one that I can absolutely recommend ( if it still exists).

The rocks beside the path get pretty slippery. If you're going to step over to get a better picture be VERY careful. It is a fairly long way down and the crocodiles are hungry.

Bring plenty of insect repellent!!

If you ever go to Zimbabwe you must go see the Victoria falls as they are something you'll never forget. They are amazing for photos but don't forget your raincoat!

Do the 200 m bungee jump off the bridge over Victoria Falls. Beautiful experience, although I was so scared that I actually passed out and therefore kind of missed out on the whole thing.
