Idyllically located in the spectacular Matobo Hills, the renowned Matobo National Park is known for its rich human history, its remarkably diverse flora and fauna and its magnificent rugged terrain. This unspoiled natural wilderness features a range of massive red-tinged, granite boulders interspersed with gorgeous wooded valleys making it a dream destination for hikers, climbers and nature lovers alike. The reserve is compact, easily accessible and is home to an impressive range of African wildlife including the highly endangered black and white rhinoceros, zebra, wildebeest, giraffe, cheetah, hippo, warthog and crocodile as well as Africa's largest concentration of leopard and black eagles. This unforgettable national park serves as an ideal stopover for travellers heading to the popular tourist sites of Hwange and the majestic Victoria Falls.
Located on the banks of the mighty Zambezi River, just upstream from Victoria Falls, Zambezi National Park offers a quieter, more intimate safari experience in north-western Zimbabwe. Stretching across riverine forest, teak woodland and open grassland, the park is home to elephant, buffalo, giraffe, zebra and a variety of predators, while abundant birdlife fills the air with colour and song. Game drives and river-based activities reveal ever-changing perspectives of the landscape, from golden sunsets reflected on the water to wildlife gathering along the river's edge. Less visited than some of southern Africa's flagship reserves, the park rewards travellers with a genuine sense of wilderness, spectacular scenery and the chance to experience the untamed beauty of the Zambezi at a more relaxed pace.
Situated in northeastern Botswana on the banks of the Chobe River, the town of Kasane is the main gateway to Chobe National Park and one of southern Africa's premier safari destinations. Renowned for its exceptional wildlife viewing, Kasane offers game drives and river cruises where visitors can encounter large herds of elephants, buffalo, hippos, and crocodiles, as well as abundant birdlife. Its location near the borders of Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe also makes it a convenient base for exploring the wider region. Golden sunsets reflected on the river, the sounds of wildlife and a relaxed safari atmosphere combine to make Kasane an unforgettable destination for nature lovers.
