Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe is a land of powerful rivers, ancient hills and remarkable warmth. It is a place where the drama of Africa’s landscapes meets the easy generosity of its people.
Stand before the thunder and mist of Victoria Falls, one of the continent’s greatest natural wonders. Explore Hwange National Park, where elephant herds roam across open plains and lions rest in the shade of acacia trees. Travel north to Mana Pools for a slower kind of safari, gliding past hippos in a canoe or watching wild dogs pad across the floodplains at dawn.
Beyond the wilderness, history runs deep. Discover the granite domes of Matobo Hills, where ancient rock art tells stories thousands of years old, and visit the ruins of Great Zimbabwe, once a thriving medieval city of stone. Each journey here reveals another layer of culture and connection.
Diamond Skies Safaris works with Zimbabwe’s most experienced guides and lodges to create safaris that balance adventure and comfort. From the energy of Victoria Falls to the peace of Mana Pools, Zimbabwe offers a feeling of authenticity that stays with you long after you leave.
Zimbabwe practical tips

For eastern and central destinations you can fly into Harare International Airport, Victoria Falls Airport caters for the iconic waterfall and nearby Hwange National Park. Travel is mostly by 4x4, with good road access between major reserves.
Accommodation & Guiding
Every Diamond Skies safari in Zimbabwe is fully guided, led by expert naturalists and dedicated professional hosts. Zimbabwe combines national parks and private concessions that are renowned for expert guiding and low visitor numbers. The climate is moderate, with warm days and cool nights, particularly in the dry season.
Sustainability
Tourism provides vital income for park protection and local livelihoods. Sustainable Safaris give local communities a stake in wildlife protection, helping to sustain natural habitats for some of the world’s most endangered species.
Combining Destinations
Neighbouring Botswana and Zambia combine easily with Zimbabwe, while Mozambique and South Africa also pair well—offering excellent beach options. For a farther-afield addition, the Seychelles provides an ideal complement for those seeking both safari and relaxation.
