Zimbabwe Revealed
Victoria Falls is one of Zimbabwe's most celebrated spectacles. Measuring some 1.7 kilometres in width with a drop of around 105 metres, an immense volume of water passes over the cataract at the height of the wet season with a flow rate of about 550,000 cubic metres per minute. This massive rush of water sends a huge plume of spray into the sky, visible for miles and providing a stunning spectacle as you walk the paths which border the ravine. Hwange National Park, the largest national park in Zimbabwe, is a reserve of great contrast. In the dry season, life seems to wilt but amazingly is able to survive with the assistance of man-made waterholes and limited vegetation. However, when the rains arrive life abounds and thrives, as Hwange becomes a haven for large numbers of wildlife, particularly elephant and buffalo. Your private lodge here offers day safaris, night drives, walks and the opportunity to observe wildlife through specially constructed 'hides'. Beyond the grandeur of the falls and the raw beauty of Hwange, we also introduce you to two incredible parks deep in the Zimbabwean midlands. Matobo National Park, famed for its uniquely shaped rocky outcrops and rhino population provides the chance to discover the sights and sounds of the African bush on foot. The oasis of Antelope Park gives us an unparalleled opportunity to gain wondrous insights into king of all beasts – the African lion. The majesty of Victoria Falls, the wilderness of three incredible game parks and the atmospheric African lodges combine to make this safari one that is filled with memorable highlights!
