Wild Zimbabwe

ABOUT THIS TRIP

Zimbabwe is breathtakingly wild and unspoiled, unlike almost any other country in Southern Africa. Discover world-class tourist attractions, such as Victoria Falls or the Great Zimbabwe Monuments, and experience unforgettable safaris in the country’s wildlife-rich national parks. The stunningly beautiful Gonarezhou National Park, with its countless elephants, lies far off the beaten path, and Hwange offers unparalleled biodiversity. Customized changes to the itinerary or rental car category are available upon request; we would be happy to send you a personalized quote. A four-wheel-drive vehicle is required for this route. While the main roads on this tour are paved throughout and in acceptable condition, the access roads to some lodges run over unpaved and partly sandy sections. However, transfers to the more remote lodges can be arranged upon request.
At this time, the road between Bulawayo and Victoria Falls is in very poor condition and may not be used with most rental cars. For this reason, you will return your rental car in Bulawayo and continue your journey from there via transfer.

Harare is not only the political but also the cultural and economic center of Zimbabwe. The city offers good shopping opportunities, a varied nightlife and, with the Queen Victoria Museum and the National Gallery of Zimbabwe, two world-class institutions that are well worth seeing.

GONAREZHOU

The 5,000 km² Gonarezhou National Park is more wild and undeveloped than almost any other national park in southern Africa, given the small number of accommodations. Gonarezhou means "place of the elephants" and with over 12,000 of the imposing pachyderms, it lives up to its name. The park is also home to all the big cats, African wild dogs, thousands of buffaloes, kudus, impalas, waterbucks, hippos and zebras. However, the animals are not as accustomed to vehicles as in other parks and the poaching of the past has also left its mark. In addition to the animals, Gonarezhou impresses with a fascinating variety of landscapes, the impressive highlight undoubtedly being the Chilojo Cliffs. The viewpoint of the cliffs is located directly on the 170-metre-high steep edge of these eroded sandstone cliffs and offers a breathtaking view. The river winds like a thin ribbon through what appears to be a completely untouched primeval landscape.

Chilo Gorge Lodge enjoys a fantastic location on a cliff and is only separated from Gonarezhou National Park by the Save River. From the spacious terrace you can enjoy the view over the river at breakfast, where hippos and crocodiles love to frolic on the sandbanks.

The ruins have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1986.
