MORE ABOUT ZIMBABWE

From the red earth, skyscrapers and blooming jacarandas of its capital Harare, to the stunning beauty of Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe has opened up into a prime destination for a luxury vacation – where elephants are aplenty and the dining is fine and easy.

A ZOOLOGICAL TOUR OF ZIMBABWE

With the mighty Zambezi River separating Zimbabwe from its neighbor, Zambia, this country is ripe for explorers and safari buffs alike. Private tours will see you canoeing past lazy pools of hippos, embarking on adventurous night drives, and trekking across the bush in search of the world’s most wild creatures.

LUXURY CAMPS AND INDULGENT LODGES

Camps and lodges in the humbling beauty of the Hwange National Park will see you sleep right on the doorstep of some of the best wildlife habitats in the area. Located near the Ngamo Plains, the luxury Linkwasha Camp is an authentic slice of Zimbabwean life, with multi-level viewing decks, a refreshing pool, and a nearby ‘Star Bed’ under which you can see literally beneath the stars themselves. You won’t miss light pollution.

A HONEYMOON AMIDST THE WILDERNESS

The romance of the national park and the jacaranda-dotted bush cannot be over-exaggerated. Whether you want to plan your honeymoon around the hustle and bustle of Harare or the authentic wilderness of eye-opening Hwange National Park, the choice is yours. Just accept that, for the latter, you’ll be sharing with elephants and zebra.

WHERE TO STAY

The main draw to Zimbabwe - after the culture and community of bustling Harare - is the country’s safari. Naturally, there are a plethora of luxury lodges and five star hotels from which to base your absorbing adventure into one of the richest zones of wildlife in Africa.

BENEATH THE STARS

The Hwange National Park - home to a bestiary of wild animals, lush jacaranda trees, and verdant bush - plays home to the luxurious Linkwasha Camp, which affords the rare opportunity to sleep in a ‘Star Bed’ beneath a blanket of dazzling stars by night.

AMONG THE ELEPHANTS

Widely known as the ‘elephant’s favorite camp,’ Ruckomechi Camp is a remote - albeit luxury - canvas camp pitched on the banks of the mighty Zambezi River. Mana Pools National Park is home to a dizzying array of wildlife, with elephants being its most frequent ‘guests.’ Surrounded by acacia and rich mahogany trees, you’ll feel comfortable and rejuvenated as you gaze out over the ginormous Rift Valley from your own private deck.
