VICTORIA FALLS

There are few appropriate superlatives that have not already been applied to this magnificent natural wonder of the world. So vast are the Falls and their setting that it is difficult to grasp. The Falls are remarkable. The towering column of spray when the river is high, the thunder of the falling water, the terrifying abyss that separates Zimbabwe from Zambia, the forest-lined, placid, tranquil lagoons upstream in which hippo and deadly crocodiles lure are all part of this magnificent scene.

LAKE KARIBA

Kariba is unique and a place of outstanding beauty, a great inland sea, nested in mountains, guarded by enormous reserves of game and made beautiful and savage by sun and storm, earth and water and by life and death. It is here, from land or water that one encounters the rawness, the beauty and the savagery which is the real heart of darkness. As an island holiday resort, Kariba has grown into a unique area, boasting attractions unequalled in the rest of Africa. The ultimate experience on Lake Kariba is to charter a houseboat. Safe swimming cages allow the visitor to bath in the waters of the Zambezi in complete safety. Early morning fishing yields good size bream, and the wildlife is abundant.

HWANGE NATIONAL PARK

To travel through Hwange National Park today is to see what much of the interior of Africa might have been like more than 150 years ago. Hwange covers over 14,000 square Kilometers in an area of low rainfall. There are 105 mammal species, including 19 large herbivores and eight large carnivores. Elephant make up the largest proportion of the wildlife. The population of wild dog found in Hwange is thought to be the largest surviving in Africa today. More than 410 species of birds have been recorded here as the safari opportunities continue to attract tourist from the world over.
