Zimbabwe Tours

Welcome to Zimbabwe. It may not be the first place you think of when booking a holiday, but with Exodus on side it’s a safe choice. Completely unspoilt by tourism, Zimbabwe holidays are warm and welcoming. This is a country that has it all, from dramatic, jagged peaks reaching for the sky to vast grasslands rippling in the wind, the mighty thunder of the Victoria Falls to the grace of an elephant wandering the plain. Every sight is a spectacle, and every trail an experience to remember.

Highlights of Zimbabwe trips include the vast and wildlife-rich Hwange National Park; Matobo with its curious granite rock formations and prehistoric cave paintings; and the ruins of Great Zimbabwe, which reveal the ancient splendours of a kingdom that used to be southern Africa’s most important trading centre.

Expert opinion: Walking and wildlife in Zimbabwe

“At no point did I feel nervous or unsafe and I would 100% encourage people to come here. Everyone was so warm, welcoming and friendly! The landscape was dramatic and varied. We were walking in the mountains and we didn’t see another soul all day, and were all alone on the summit of Mount Nimbus. Plus, we got to stay in remote locally owned lodges where there were no other guests. It’s pretty much unspoilt – for the first six days we didn’t see any other tourists – and it felt so special being there. The walking was great. We summited the highest peak in Zimbabwe, and came across a group of white rhinos in the national park – as we were on foot we were able to get really close. At the end of the trip we visited the stunning Victoria Falls, known as Mosi-oa-Tunya – The Smoke That Thunders – which captures the drama and majesty that is southern Africa.”

This trip trys to pack in too much to the time available and therefore fails to deliver the normally high quality experiences that other Exodus trips have done. The only wild dog sitings to be expected (according to the guide upon arrival) are at the rescue centre, much appreciated but not actually on the official itinerary. Chobe is great for wildlife and getting up close to rhinos in Mtobo on foot was a great experience. The wildlife walks in the Okavango Delta likewise were a great way to experience seeing animals rather than from a jeep. Otherwise the Delta element was a bit dissapointing, too much wasted time. The long, hot journeys in a mini bus (AC seemed poor) that was really too small for the group spoilt some of the trip. The Makgadikgadi Salt Pans was not handled well, a waste of time that could have been utilised for a longer time at say Hwange. Depite being told of the large lion population the apparent lack of radio communication between jeeps meant we saw none. Another day would have been of benefit. Overall some great wildlife views and Victoria Falls, but the structure of the trip fails.

An excellent overland trip from Vic Falls to Cape Town. The landscape is stunning and diverse (deserts, rivers, bush) and the wildlife opportunities are some of the best I have experienced in Africa. Our group was great and we were very lucky, managed to see the big 5 up-close. The safari guides were excellent at spotting wildlife and knowing when to be patient and sit-tight – we also saw a cheetah kill. It was the amount of animals that was really surprising – a pride of 16 lions. The water holes in Etosha national park are outstanding, some of them are accessible to view on the campsites – you really don’t have to spot the wildlife it comes to you. Camping was very special and comfortable, nearly all of the sites have hot showers, tents are spacious with camp beds and mats. I really recommend camping – you hear all the wildlife around you during the night. Negpi campsite on the Okavango delta is one of the best I think. Great for viewing hippos in dug out canoes. The camping trip was made all the more enjoyable by our guides, Leroy and Jonathan. A huge shout out to them both, they were both knowledgeable, got us from campsite safety on the truck.
