Wildlife Tours in Zimbabwe

Wildlife tours in Zimbabwe offer some of Africa’s most superlative wildlife viewing. Zimbabwe is home to Victoria Falls, one of the most amazing natural wonders on the planet. The area around the Falls is great for birdwatching. Slaty Egret, Swamp Nightjar, Red-shouldered Whydah and Brown Firefinch are some of the species encountered. A birdlist of more than 400 is possible. All-in-all, Zimbabwe can boast more than 700 bird species with many cross-Africa migrants present in the winter months.

A boat trip along the Zambezi River can lead to sightings of African Finfoot and White-backed Night Heron. Two hours south of Victoria Falls you find Zimbabwe’s largest National Park, Hwange. Formerly a game sanctuary, it became a government park in 1949.  More than 100 mammals and 400 bird species are sheltered here. It is thought to contain the world’s largest population of African Wild Dogs. A wildlife tour in Zimbabwe that takes in Hwange will bring exciting encounters with large prides of lions and herds of Cape Buffalo. There’s also a good chance of Spotted Leopard and Cheetah. So if big cats are on your wishlist, then this could be a dream holiday destination.
