2025 Zimbabwe Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

#tripaway CHIMANIMANI DISTRICT I loved the general atmosphere of Chimanimani- it is such a great haven to literally get away from everything modern. The town is quite shanty but you find everything you need to survive, however do take your own supplies to be safe. In terms of nature, it was amazing beyond measure, from the drive there surrounded by mountains, to driving up mountains, hikes, the mountain golfing experience and the ever-beautiful Tessa pools. I would definitely go there over and over! Love it. #tripaway

#tripaway RHODES NYANGA HOTEL This is a lovely hotel with a lot of history. It sits on land once owned by Cecil Rhodes and is now in the Nyanga National Park. We were there in the low season so the place was pretty quiet. The service was excellent, simple meals in the dining room and drinks by the fire in the bar. There is trout fishing in nearby lakes and grilled trout is always on the menu. The staff has a lot of pride in their hotel and the park that encompasses it. The park has several waterfalls and lakes to explore and Mt Nyangani, the highest in Zimbabwe, to climb. And if you make the climb, you may get the staff to present you with a certificate of your accomplishment! To get to some a high clearance vehicle is recommended, especially in around the rainy season #tripaway

#tripaway Msasa trees Brachystegia is a genus of tree of the sub-family Caesalpinioideae that is native to tropical Africa. Trees of the genus are commonly known as miombo, and are dominant in the miombo woodlands of central and southern tropical Africa. The Zambezian region is the centre of diversity for the genus. #tripaway

#tripaway MANICALAND PROVINCE Breath-taking views in all directions: North, South, East and West! You can gaze until you can see angels in the skies beyond the horizon. Uuuuuuuh, the best location to watch heaven unlimited! #tripaway

Chipangali wildlife Orphanage and research center -Zimbabwe Such an amazing place with a noble cause,Chipangali is a haven for wild animals which have little hope for survival in the wild – animals or birds which have been orphaned, abandoned, injured, born in captivity or brought up unsuccessfully as pets. It is often the last refuge for those brought in sick or injured, and has increasingly become a sanctuary for confiscated animals.These guys are doing amazing work.You can get close to most of the animals even though some are healing.I left the place in awe for such love of animals

MANA POOLS-ZIMBABWE It is one of the most Zimbabwes national parks and i absolutely recommend this destination to all Safari lovers and Nature and animal lovers.The name means four pools which are formed by the Zambezi river.Also there is fauna and flora offering great opportunities for canoeing,walking safaris and other activities.It is also known for its endangered painted dogs (painted wolves).I recommend because its a great place to go and watch the sunset setting in Forest and some of many African Animals you have heard of.I had a great experiance and I make sure i visit whenever i go home for holidays.The most amazing is lunch while watching this huge herd of elephants,hippos and lions

DOMBOSHAVA,ZIMBABWE Domboshava is 30 km drive away from Harare the capital city of Zimbabwe in Southern Africa.It is a vilage by its own. Domboshava is a village named after a large granite hill, there are several rock formations at the top of the hill which have been formed naturally.

I went to Zimbabwe to see Victoria Falls, one of the three largest waterfalls in the world❕✈️ Zimbabwe is famous for Victoria Falls, but the baobab trees also towered majestically🌳 I thought I would have to go to Madagascar to see them, so I was happy🤍 The driving road from the hotel to the falls was overgrown with trees, and the animal warning signs were also cute🥰 It seems that wild elephants and giraffes often walk around, but unfortunately I didn't encounter them this time💦 I wanted to see them! #overseastravel #zimbabwe #touristsightseeing

CHIRINDA FOREST BOTANICAL It is situated on the slopes of Mount Selinda in South East of Zimbabwe.The name Chirinda means "lookout”.When it comes to remarkable trees one of the most special places in Zimbabwe is undoubtedly the Chirinda Forest Reserve. It is home to The Big Tree, arguably the largest tree in the country, a specimen of Khaya anthotheca or Red Mahogany. This tree, although now somewhat damaged by a lightning strike, still stands at more than 60 meters tall. When we last visited the forest over Christmas 2011, we surely had our good time ever:)

I dont like Africa, more precisely, I like myself in Africa. It seems to stimulate the natural nature of the body. Without the restraint in the city, the inner sense of the heart keeps coming out and sings in the car. In the middle of the night, I ran to the trees to see the Milky Way, staring at the sunrise and watching the sunset with a bottle of wine. I leaped half a globe, saw a world that this imagination could not reach, and saw a brand new self in this world. Goodbye, Africa, will see you, Africa.

The last country in Africa's trip is Zimbabwe, where there is the world's second-largest waterfall, Victoria Falls, where you can enjoy landing permits. The capital of Zimbabwe is Harare. Once you enter Harare, you will feel that the city is very European, and garden-style single-family villas are constantly appearing on both sides of the road. Let people forget that this is Africa. And when the children who don't wear shoes are beating on the side of the road, they are reminding you that this is one of the poorest countries in the world. After all, Zimbabwes most famous thing in recent years has been the sharp depreciation of the currency.
